Jones98 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Posted August 25, 2014 A few weeks back I bought a banshee with quite a few nice bolt on parts. K&n air filter, 28 mil pwk carbs, boost bottle, and toomey t5 pipes and silencers. It supposedly has an overbore from the last rebuild but I'm not sure. It also has nerf bars, a big bumper, pro taper bars, and a B.A.D. Saddle seat. Since I got it I've put a new clutch cable on it, cleaned the air filter, and replaced a bunch of missing bolts. It currently needs some new tires and a set of headlights. This is my first banshee and I'm wondering if there's anything special I need to know about them? I mix klotz super techniplate at 32:1 and take pretty good care of it. Quote
Jones98 Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Also the frame and a arms have been bed linered. It's got some rust on the pipes is there anything I do for that? Also need some good grips lol the ones on it say shwin. Pretty ghetto bicycle grips lol but I only paid 1400 for it and it came with some old axles and a couple swing arms, back plastic, tusk oil seals, a couple sets of reed spacers,and a brand new clutch cable.

Bennett131 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Posted August 25, 2014 Those pipes should polish up, there's a thread in the "banshee appearance" section that shows how to make them shine again step by step. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted August 25, 2014 Report Posted August 25, 2014 1400 for anything that runs ok and is all there is an ok deal. If you got a gaggle of Misc goodies on the bike, you definitely made out Quote
Burke Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 ditch the boost bottle and plug the intake boots... that frame & arms have to be heavy as shit if it is sprayed with bedliner I'd be interested to see what it weighs Quote
oh3shee Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 Burke... what do you mean by plug the intake boots and are you saying that the boost bottle isnt worth it? Their is a moose boost bottle on mine but it was there when I bought her. Quote
Bennett131 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 Yes he is saying they are not worth it. Throw it in the trash, it does nothing. Quote
Burke Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 yes... the boost bottle is good for nothing but vibrating and cracking intake boots... get rid of it and either go with a stock crossover tube or plug them completely Quote
trickedcarbine Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 yes... the boost bottle is good for nothing but vibrating and cracking intake boots... get rid of it and either go with a stock crossover tube or plug them completelyYou could make a toxic hash pipe out of it. Quote
Atomic Monkey Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 You could make a toxic hash pipe out of it.LMAO! That's all I saw for the thread preview... and I knew it was about a boost bottle! Quote
Jones98 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Posted August 28, 2014 How often should I change the tranny oil, what should I put in it, and how do I check the radiatior and what do I put in that? This is my first banshee ever, first 2 stroke, first liquid cooled bike. I need to know the basics. Quote
bluebanshee98 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Posted August 28, 2014 Get a clymer manual and start researching this forum a lot 1 Quote
trickedcarbine Posted August 28, 2014 Report Posted August 28, 2014 Check it every ride. Look for a shimmery glitter. That will be from the clutch. If it starts to look like a grey blackish metallic nail polish, time for a change. Quote
oh3shee Posted August 28, 2014 Report Posted August 28, 2014 What do you guys recomend to plug the boots? Quote
