2001SSTBanshee Posted January 12, 2005 Report Posted January 12, 2005 (edited) A few of you might remember me. I had my 2001 for almost 3 years, then learned that the shop sold it to me stolen. I took off ALL my parts that I upgraded and gave them back the chasis. They gave me a full refund, which I used to get a YFZ. I sold most of the banshee parts I had to get my YFZ ready for MX. Anyways my tow truck driver buddy found what was left of my impounded banshee. I bought it back for $750, this time I actually own it. Sitting outside with the clutch side of the motor exposed a little was rough on it, though. Anyways I bought all the replacement parts it needed and now its pertty much done. I rebuilt it for a friend, so I can have another person to ride with. I think including the $750 for the bike we ended up spending around $3000. New: - Hot rods crank - wiseco top end - every single bearing in the engine/tranny has been replaced - gaskets, of coarse - chasis bearings/bushings - V force reeds - Durablue axle - lots of little stock parts used: - some nice LRD pipes - PC'ed blue hubs - blue plastics Left overs: - Sidewinder chain/sprockets - Allooy Specialists axle lock nut - PD pro-flo foam intake - DR clutch Thanks to Bob over at Magnolia Yamaha for getting me all the OEM parts plus a few more. His prices kept us "under budget" and he had to spend at least 30 minutes just looking up all the part numbers I sent him! Thats about all I can remember right now. Pics coming soon.

sp1tekiller Posted January 12, 2005 Report Posted January 12, 2005 Nice. That's cool that you got it back afterall. Quote
ledofthezep Posted January 12, 2005 Report Posted January 12, 2005 I used to have dual rate w/rezzies, now have triple rate w/rezzies & +2 +1 arms. It's much better now but hard to tell what it would be like without the new arms. Seems like you can't feel the little stuff anymore. 304326[/snapback] That kicks ass man! Now you got the best in 2 & 4 strokes. Quote
. Posted January 12, 2005 Report Posted January 12, 2005 congratulations Let me be the first to say welcome to the LRD club. Adjust them about 2 full turns from all the way in and your powerband will come on right about where you want it to (depending on gearing you might have to play with a half turn or so) Quote
locogato11283 Posted January 12, 2005 Report Posted January 12, 2005 Yeah, what Led said.. 305746[/snapback] word yo.. Quote
2001SSTBanshee Posted January 12, 2005 Author Report Posted January 12, 2005 Yeah, Im pretty pissed about my YFZ right now though. It died on me at the ATV olympics, and I couldnt even race! When I got back on saturday, it was the first time I fired up the Banshee. It started right up on about the third kick. Im used to kicking my YFZ now, The first time I kicked the Banshee I thought I forgot to put the spark plugs in or something. Quote
