smokin 2 stroke Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 so im going to be parting my banshee soon im getting out of the drag scene ..wanting to build a pretty nice all around bike..whats better a 660rappty or a 400 (any one their all pretty much the same ) how do they compare to each other witch has more power Quote
sled Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 a 400ex?? both them suck, just get a 700r or 450. Quote
smokin 2 stroke Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Posted February 24, 2008 700 to much money and heard to many bad things about 450.. and a honda is out of the question Quote
locogato11283 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 what did you hear bad about a yfz450?? ive had mine for 2 years and beat the piss out of it and never had an issue. i had one before that for a couple years and i was even worse on that one. Quote
smokin 2 stroke Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Posted February 24, 2008 ive read alot about something how the bottom end goes out in alot and will throw rods through the cases..ive seen alot of pictures and stories.. Quote
2strokespirit Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 If you are going to ride hard, you might get a 450.. All engines give problems some time in their life. YFZ450 do like to seize because of the oil pumps, but thats sorted right now. I would buy a YFZ or LTR. If I had the money... KTM 525 XC!!! Quote
smokin 2 stroke Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Posted February 24, 2008 2strokespirit Thats a lil bit out of my price range..any opinions Quote
Bansh-eman Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 id get the 660 before a 400... look for a used 07 450 or an older one with the ol mod done to it. the 07 the oil mod was fixed by the factory, older then 07 the oil mod can be done pretty ez. they are good bike. i have beat the dog shit out of mine and its still running like a champ. im thinking of either buying another or getting rid of my banshee and getting a nice mx 450 Quote
spike Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 why dont you make your banshee an all around bike? they are a fine machine for that duty too! and it would be the most cost effective as well Quote
man27 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 why dont you make your banshee an all around bike? they are a fine machine for that duty too! and it would be the most cost effective as well I agree fix the banshee!!!!! :thumbsup: Quote
smokin 2 stroke Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Posted February 24, 2008 why not just put my banshee motor in a 450 chassis..lol.. i would but i would need to buy a new frame shocks..tare the motor down..i just want something thats really reliable that i can do a lil bit of evrything with.. and dont get me wrong i love banshee but i just want to try something differant Quote
Bansh-eman Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 i disagree. a thumper on mx or tight trails is much better to ride, those stupid things can lug out of a turn i thrid ger no problem, they that on your banshee and your not going anywhere in a hurry Quote
wacko2000 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 I ride with a bunch of 4pokers now, since all my banshee boys are a bunch of bitches, but anyway, there are 2 450r in the group and a 400ex... I dont have a bad thing to say about the 400ex, I love that bike, my buddy did the HMF exhaust, g-force axle, asr +2+1 a-arms,works shocks filter, Dont get me wrong the 450r is faster, but that 400ex is a great bike to ride, My opinion its a great trail bike, nice and smooth and it doesnt beat the shit out of you..o0o and its a wheelie monster.. just my 02 cents Quote
sled Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 i have an 04 CRF450 that ive raced in motocross, Arenacross, and some other stuff. plus i ride it in the coal mines all the time and ive never had a problem with it. the TRX's cant be that bad. Quote
