Don't ever buy a Yamaha Banshee!!!

This is a warning to all of you Quad and ATV lovers or beginners (like myself):

DON'T EVER BUY A YAMAHA BANSHEE!

I bought one a while ago, and ever since I began riding it, I have had to do so much maintenance.

Finally, a week ago, it broke down; 7,000 QR down the drain...

I burned the motor according to the mechanic!
It seems like it heated up and the inside parts overheated until a piston got stuck and broke up the whole set... or whatever he tried to tell me.

Lesson learned: Two stroke engines are simply crap!
The greasing of the engine is through special oil mixed with gasoline as the mix is combusted, which can sometimes fail due to a thousand reasons...

Get a four stroke engine people...!

Anyone care to buy some accessories in good conditions for your nice Banshee (special sand tires, sport exhausts, feet rests)?

:-D

Seriously?

Was it 2nd hand or something? For how much QR did you buy it?
