Y there well known for just stupid failures. Usually the motors just go for no reason at all. They always run there best right before they blow up. Ive never owned a 96 because of all the bad ive heard about them.

is that the kind of reaction i should be getting? well sorry, all the banshee motors are the same, it just depends the way you rip that motor and the way you take care of it

no dude the ex port duration is larger and more square on a 96 causeing the rings to snag

Um actually there not all the same. Theres slight differences in all of them. The 96 modle had issues with the cylinder walls and a weak spot in the cases. They also changed the bolts and started to use a different stronger metal for the gears after that year because the were failing. Theres more frame gussets since then also because the frames cracked in odd places.

Yea u had to buy new turbanator berrings alot too...those things are friggin expensive

ok, even my 98's frame cracked on the upper part of it

Just be aware.

A couple of pics of my 92.



Not new but new to me roll design front end.

dude bansheekx, your banshee looks fricking sick man, looks really good, looks like alot of money put into the front end and the shocks

Thanks man. I hope I will have zero money invested in the front end and shocks. I bought a 2000 shee last week that had this suspension on it and I swapped it over to mine. Plan to sell that bike and maybe make a few dollars off of it.

BUMP!!!! i know theres more pics to be shared!

heres my basket case I picked up this last summer. it was in the back of a ford ranger that rolled over. i bought a new frame, t-5s, k&n pods, and used my stock raptor 700 front end including spindles and calipers. also thanks to Alf44 for getting it running good, gonna give you a call for some parts soon. not great pictures, but all i got right now.

hell yeah man! i always like those 05 SE plastics. my bro in law had a 05 SE like that with dupont chrome painted frame.
