im looking at buying a 1994 banshee and the guy said he rebuilds it every 20-25 hours is that worth buying if i have to rebuild every 20-25 hours?

Um, that just doesnt sound right, i rebuild my 2001 about once a year.

why would he need to rebuild it that much? :confused: you're only supposed to rebuild it every 2 years, and 1 if you abuse it really bad

Like they said, you shouldn't have to rebuild it that often....

I bet the motors in good shape if it doesn't have any problems :)

Ha, boost bottle barely does anything....ask anyone with a banhsee. MAYBE, just MAYBE, it might increase or better the throttle response!

Yeah, i would definately say to go for it!
It looks to be in good condition, and it is hard to find a banshee in any condition for that price.
Are those dual rate works steeler front shocks?
Sounds like an awesome deal you are getting!

$1700:eek2: Let me know if you don't buy it, I want it! hehe The boost bottle,...pretty much just sounds kewl. I can honestly say though, on a stock banshee, the bottle helps throttle response a bit....;)

They are dual rate works shockos on front. and no need to worry about me not buying it im getting as soon as my blaster sells.

Any one wanna buy a 2001 yamaha blaster. i have it posted in the for sale section info about it is there.

yea, the boost bottle increases throttle response a little bit...but you'd only notice it on a stock banshee...but hey, it's only around $30-35 so why not get it anyway?

ok well im not gonna end up getting it im looking for a nice 400EX so if you want it ill give you the infor about it. its a 1994 yamaha banshee the top end is due for a rebuild and will need to be bored out this time. its has FMF fatty pips and pc2 silencers. the left top a-arms if i rember thats the right one is bent. so if you want it for $1700 the guys email is banshee0670@hotmail.com you will have to talk to him. tell him dave overman told you about it.

so why are you NOT getting this 'shee?? i'd be all over it, even if it just needs a little rebuild, doesn't cost THAT much! and the bent a-arm doesn't matter that much, unless it's a huge thing.
