J. Allen Posted May 30, 2008 Report Posted May 30, 2008 Well, I've recently acquired the iconic banshee and in my endless "googling" I've stumbled across Banshee HQ several times. I thought it might be wise to register and here we are... Now usually I'd just lurk, soaking up information or opinions or some combination thereof, but, this time I've decided to break form and introduce myself. So, hello. Glad to be here. Seems like a wonderful site...lots of stupid questions to follow [but not before I've attempted (at least half-heartedly) to use the search function. Quote
LS1Inferno Posted May 30, 2008 Report Posted May 30, 2008 Dont wast your time searching, 1. most of us mix whatever oil at 32:1 2. YES get rid of TORS ASAP its useless crap that gives nothing but problems 3.NO BOOST BOTTLE, just effin NO. 4. If it doenst run right, clean the carbs and check back then.

Got the ratio, never wanted a boost bottle, and the first thing I did when I purchased it was tear it down and clean everything up. It purrs like a baby kitten fresh from the teet. Now the TORS, I'll probably leave on until (if) I go to a larger carb. Aside from aesthetics and making things a little clumsy, I don't mind it. The task I have in front of me is sorting out the majority opinion on the modifications I would like to make! I've been reading for hours already! Quote

Thats where you start you modification. Quote
KaosBanshee44 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Posted May 30, 2008 Welcome and thanks for coming forward and saying your gonna use the search button. Just as long as you don't ask what LS1 mentioned your good to go with any question you might have. Quote
J. Allen Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Posted May 30, 2008 :thumbsup:What kind of riding do you do? Thats where you start you modification. Well, I wasn't going to hog the forum...I'm not an attention monger mind you, but, since you asked- So far mostly trails, some wide open some wooded. Now since I've just recently purchased it I'm still figuring out places to ride, but there is a local track that I'll likely visit occasionally. That being said, for the foreseeable future I'll pipe, jet, and put an intake on (or at least a better filter) to "awaken" her. I'm kinda sold on the Toomey's but the T5 vs. T6 thing I go back and forth on, apparently many of you here do as well. I know my personality and more than likely I will end up traveling long and far down Modification Road. I also really like the DMC 916. Although, I have no personal basis for liking it aside from the way it looks and second-hand reports of its quality. Sexy doesn't necessarily go fast though. I realize that they haven't made them in a while, the ones on the Bay are usually shitty and someone on here has a deal pending...a day late and a dollar short that's the story of my life! Quote
J. Allen Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Posted May 30, 2008 What's a story without a picture? I know you've all seen a Banshee before, but, here's a low quality photo of mine! Quote
