250Rho Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 ok now my dads been riding bikes for years and back in the yee ol days he tore the tranny out of a yamaha motorcycle. but he wasnt abusing the piss out of it (or so he says) ever sinse then he has been completely biased tward anything yamaha so he hates banshees all the people that he knows that have ever had one have had lots of trouble because they abuse it and dont take care of it. so i want all your oppinions on the banshee trans and motor for relability as far as 2 strokes. ive never had any trouble with the ones ive been on and around. so thats mine.

NYUK Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 the banshee tranny is pretty tough. i have personally handled hundreds. the worst problem is at most a bent shift fork. they are pretty simple. Quote
LS1Inferno Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 Its just like any other bike, atv, etc... take care of it and it will be fine. the ONLY bad yamahs tranny is that of an 01 Craptor. Sry but you dad is either lying or thinks he knows more then he does. i have only ever had ONE bad trans and thats cause previous owner ran it without oil. Quote
locogato11283 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 yep, they are tough as fuck. plus they are easy to work with. nothing to them. Quote
250Rho Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Posted July 8, 2008 hey thanks for the imput :thumbsup: i think hes just to scared of :ninja: banshee power :ninja: hahahaha Quote
250Rho Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Posted July 8, 2008 i guess they would have to be really tough to handle all the power from the mods on all theese motors :shrug: its not like you hear anyone replacing trannys jus cuz it cant handle the power i think ls1inferno s right hes probibly full o shit :yucky: Quote
NYUK Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 when you get up over 100 hp. the tranny becomes the weak link. Quote
dajogejr Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 when you get up over 100 hp. the tranny becomes the weak link. And they make a remedy for that as well....billet 2nd gear. 2nd is the weakest link in the tranny. That being said, I'm easily up over 100HP and my stock tranny gears work fine, but they are cut to shift under full power without the clutch...like most drag race guys. Splitting the cases on a banshee is bar none the easiest to do compared to any other 2 or 4 stroke I've worked on... Quote
250Rho Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Posted July 17, 2008 so id guss ur sayin nothin wrong unless yr got a seriosly modded motor. that would have been the idea i had for any motor. cep mayby a craptor there jus plain crappish---four stroke... pshhhhhhhhhh Quote
250Rho Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Posted September 30, 2009 where can you get a billit 2nd gear Quote
Snopczynski Posted September 30, 2009 Report Posted September 30, 2009 People who don't adopt a routine maintenance policy, know how to ride the bike properly, or use the proper procedures to repair the bike, will not have good luck with it being reliable. Quote
