Anyway i was deeply wondering if this banshee is gunna take a shit on me when i ride... i love to ride and do it all the time. So am i better off with like a 400ex or a 450r because im only 14 and dont know enought to fix anything that breaks i know most basics but... my step dad has no interest in motors and he doesnt even have tools so? i want to know is a banshee unreliable for me????? PLEASE HELP ME. Quote
Paddleboy Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 banshee is for sure the easyest to fix when they do break. there are no cams or valves to deal with and parts are cheap. get a manual and just read. once you tear it apart once you can do it in your sleep. Quote
xXBlessedWithDeathXx Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 what he said. all you need is that book and to read it. if you dont abuse your banshee and do regular maintenance you shouldnt have any problems. banshees dont swim and like there filter cleaned and the oil changed. Quote

Where to get one of these ''books''? but really wouldnt yal agree that there are enough ppl on here that are willing to help somebody out that he could just make a post on anything he needs to know and someone would help him? i didnt know anything about them a week ago and i've been reading this sight and i've learned ALOT! and when i get the money im tearin into mine. i think banshees are like 350x's and 250r's priceless. they're worth redoing from frame up my $ .02 Quote

Ebay link but yes most on here will help you but it kinda sucks running from the computer to the bike only to do it again a few more times. the manual helps and they are worth a frame up rebuild. i think most if not all will agree.

ClimbAnyHill Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 2 Strokes are an easy fix. As said, get that manual & some tools. Get in there and wrench it up, if you have a problem post it up and some one will help you fix it! :thumbsup: Quote
