bball23 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Hey everyone I am looking at buying a 2004 built banshee but am concerned about a few things. Ill try to list all the modifications: 4mm hot rods stroker crank Athena big bore kit motor cases purchased from passion racing ported and polished trinity stator and clutch covers Barnett dirt digger clutch and billet basket Toomey t5s vforce4 reeds +2 laeger aarms +2 axle all fresh black powder coat on frame stock carbs street tires and chrome rims are on it but come with another set off wheels and all the stock parts. I know the guy that built this quad and I talked to him about it and he told me that it runs 20 degrees hotter and that's just when he was riding on the street. If I took it in the trails would it overheat? Would an oversized radiator and bigger water pump impeller solve this problem? Another minus is that it doesn't have a title. All the work was finished in May and he says there is 3 hours on it total. He just lowered the price to $3,500 and said he would take $3,000.... Is it worth it?? Thanks to anyone who answers my questions! Edited August 22, 2013 by bball23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bball23 Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 he said he has about $6,000 into it with parts and labor and he spared no expense on the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bball23 Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 He said theyre just some cheap ebay shocks he bought but he put the stock ones on instead... so would $3,000 be too much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
