v6stanger Posted December 28, 2003 Report Posted December 28, 2003 Found an 01 Banshee I am very interested in that I need your guys advice on. It is an 01 Banshee that is basically stock except for some chrome and polished items along with a K&N and tires. He said it has barely been riden and is in excellent shape. Here is the link: http://3.8mustang.com/forum/showthread.php?t=59376 What should I look for? Zach Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted December 28, 2003 Report Posted December 28, 2003 look for alot of tire wear, take a compression tester to see if it'll need a rebuild, and lift it off the ground and check the bearings, and ask a shit load of questions Quote

trail rider Posted December 28, 2003 Report Posted December 28, 2003 I hate it when people who are selling a quad say that its barely been ridden I mean why should you even by a quad if your going to ride it 2 times and park it. Quote
Toomey Banshee Posted December 28, 2003 Report Posted December 28, 2003 1. Check the compression 2.Check the rear bearings, (shake the rear axle) there should be very miminal play 3. Check the front tie rods, (shake the front tires) see above 4. Check the sprockets for worn or missing teeth 5. Check the chain for excesive abuse/use 6. Check the brake lining thickness and the condition of the rotors. Looks like a great bike. If these things check out jump on it! Quote
