x86 Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 So as you guys know, I sunk my banshee. This banshee used to belong to POSTAL from this forum. Well, anyways, after I sunk it, I brought it to the shop. The damage? Broken thread on the throttle cable going into the left carb, the airbox was fuct (it was taht way when i got it, Postal conveiently didnt tell me). Also, it had a thrown basegasket, needed new coils, a new cdi, and a new clutch cable. ALSO he said something about the carbs not being anything close to right on it. This repair guy is a Yamaha tech. So bascially, with labor, its gonna be costing me $600+ bucks to get the banshee that i got for 2200 out of the shop. I'm really wondering if it is worth it. How much would an airbox be? Anybody have a whole different set of carbs for it? That would save me some money. The cdi was 260 bucks:o So really, I'm sad. Been without it since July 1st. Quote
broke Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 Do some shopping Ebay, or contact me, 1Badbanshee or Nyuk. Plenty of parts to get that up and running again for a fraction of what the shops would want. CDIs go for $50 to $100 just to give you an idea of how bad a shop rips you off. Quote

x86 Posted July 30, 2005 Author Report Posted July 30, 2005 Right now all I need is the complete airbox assemly. I would, however, also like some bigger carbs for it. Quote
