Hey guys, its my first post but I wanted to go to folks that really knew somethin before I took the plunge to a banshee. I am looking at buying an 87 banshee that supposedly has a 2000 motor on it. My question is are there any inherent weak components on a banshee that old that I would want to upgrade or look closely at before purchase. Also how could I tell if the motor was that new. He claims to have some driveability problems with right now because he used the 87 carbs on the motor. This will be my first banshee, always wanted one, and am an ASE master auto tech so I am not worried about some major work. I figure if it runs thats a good start. I think I can get it for about $1200.00, I dont expect anyone to tell me if thats a good deal, too many variables, but I am looking for any and all input, except dumb shit. Thanks in advance for any help.

If it will start and run 1200 is a smoking deal.

agreed if it runs with no extra noises in the bottom end,, shifts through every gear id grab it,, nothings changed on the banshees from 87=06 except the j-arms to a-arms and plastic color

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they use the same 26mm Mikuni carbs on both of those motors? I was thinking that basically the j-arms and the plastic color was the only difference
