Yamaha Banshee ATV Build

[@brayton6683]

The iconic sound of a banshee is insane the scream that this quad has is not like the roar most of the modern newer quads have

[@manbeastx69]

Please Please Please Yamaha bring back a new Banshee 500 2-Stroke with a reverse and I will guarantee it will be a huge seller

[@danw9946]

manbeastx69 that would be sweet but reverse would just feel weird lol

[@skeletorbx]

You trying to kill people I'll take one

[@yamahaguy1732]

manbeastx69 like all manufactures they don’t care what we want

[@reggiexp69]

can't 2 stroke are dying ... for legal reason.. i mean mostly sound and ecologique stuff... most scooter are 4 stroke...... like the good old 125 nsr... 2 stroke... its a rare bike now it are all 4 stroke now and top at 100-120kmh... while the 2stroke 125 goes 160kmh (with me and my oncle on it...) anyway there wont be new 2 strokes in europe that is for sure. i guess the rest of the world aint far off so yeah.. why make a 2stroke if most country may not even sell it anymore...

[@yamahaguy1732]

Regilio Bouma I like and prefer 4 strokes cheeper to run and use less gas but 2 strokes are fun

[@danw9946]

This makes me happy. I mainly race motocross on my kx450 but I have had seven banshees and a yfz450r. Last banshee was my 421 cub so I’m happy to see a company do a banshee build in 2019. Proves they are not dead!

[@bobberbear4622]

2 and 4 wheel riders all love and respect these rigs. Nothing like em, the sound, ohh the sound!

[@jeffhaire1984]

Dont forget the powerband!!!!

[@stvnmoto]

They call it the pucker factor!

[@rickfeith6372]

I've always been more of a MX guy...Banshee is my favorite quad hands down though. Even the little Blaster I had was super fun and whippy, its DEFINITELY a two stroke thing. I just LOVE smokers, no matter what its on, Stihl chainsaws, RC enginess, KX250...yes please. I also love turbine engines, but I don't have one of those...yet

[@rickfeith6372]

Never rode a Honda 250R either...I would like that too

[@yamahaguy1732]

I like that you didn’t chop the fenders

[@YZdude]

I do like the fenders more but some look pretty clean if cut right.

[@yamahaguy1732]

Josey Wales just personal opinion I mean with fenders it looks classic without it looks modern

[@BarnStangz]

Some of my best childhood memories in the early 90's were of me and my buddies and our Banshee's. Easy to work on, very reliable and made amazing power pretty easy. Electric like torque. The only thing that sucked was the suspension, you couldn't push them hard or they'd bite!

[@rmatvmc]

You're totally right! The suspension on these things is terrible haha. As long as you're in the smooth sand you're okay. But don't get near that choppy stuff!-Chase

[@stvnmoto]

Between the Banshee and Honda 250r's they definitely were the king's of that era.

[@HoloScope]

Wow rich guy here 🙂

[@Marcelo-cc3dj]

All I wanted was to be able to listen how that beast sound like!!!!!!!!

[@monstermx7655]

Agreed this is one machine that needs to be heard ripping not another sound like it

[@bakken_701_crawlers5]

Raw sound. No editing bullshit

[@mitchellmifflin4392]

From personal experience, it sounds so much better being on it and riding up little sahara at 50 mph

[@dellstudio10]

Nice builds. I had an absolutely showroom quality 05 Banshee a few year's back. One owner with practically no miles. Always wanted to do a build on it but couldn't bring myself to tear it apart and kept her completely stock. I took it riding at a buddies house one day and parked it under a tree while we went inside to grab some lunch. A few minutes later I hear a huge crash. I ran outside to see what all the ruckus was about. Turns out a massive tree limb broke away from the tree around 40 feet up and landed directly on my Banshee. She was still in tack and ran but the rear end of the frame was bent along with the axle. The limb was so heavy the axle was in the ground and the impact blew the rear shock completely. I kept her for a while but got sick everytime I looked at it. So I eventually sold it on to someone else who was thrilled to get it. Very fun quad and very tough to have survived the impact from that huge tree branch.

[@ryan_400x4]

Wow that is crazy dude! I’d be crying. Did the plastics get all scratched up?

[@asmith0609]

Tell Yamaha to bring banshees back

[@raccoon344]

[@funtyes1970]

@jdog942 why not there snowmobiles with 2 strokes i don't think it nothing do with EPA it the company who is selling them . if there still making snowmobiles with 2-strokes i don't see a problem

[@xziang]

Thanks for including link to the parts and costs involved. Always have liked/admired these ATVs

[@rmatvmc]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@williammickelson403]

nice to see some atv vids. i get so sick of youtubers only uploading dirt bike content while completely ignoring the other half

[@egarcia530]

Pretty cool for you guys to finally do a banshee, the aftermarket parts for those is unreal, you guys need to add more parts to your inventory, you guys would have way more banshee guys going to you Like myself

[@j.sargent9172]

The first thing you see looking at a banshee is not the twin cylinders. Its definitely the badass look. Sickest looking quad ever made, sure you notice the motor too but definitely not first haha. Probably the nost iconic and well known quad

[@rmatvmc]

It's pretty awesome to look at! Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video-Chase

[@rickfeith6372]

I see a friggin tractor with those lights and the stance. The Raptors look like a hornet or wasp. I want a 2 stroke tractor.

[@adamcarrasco3872]

The yellow banshee just gave me ideas for my own banshee!!

[@WestCoastRoller]

IMHO ported stock cylinder stock carb 4mil is best all around setup bang for buck. Pipes ....pick a set for where you want it to make power.

[@raeesstemmet9656]

This yellow banshee is sick. Perfect. Nicely done

[@JETZcorp]

Everyone is saying bring the Banshee back. I say bring the RZ back too! Nothing on the street is finer than a 2-stroke sport bike. Makes an R6 look like a bank manager's bike. They just bring out the hooligan in anyone.

[@fireinthewhole]

That thing is absolutely gorgeous.

[@daleyfun2247]

That's a banshee? Never seen one that wasn't 20 ft long and broke down.

[@FoxSlow]

Why use fmf pipes on a dune quad? Makes much more sense to go with shearers, t5s, Vito’s, etc..

[@DoubleTap702]

FMF’s are actually great all around. Arguably better all around than T5’s. Not as much top end as Shearers, CPI’s or Vito’s, but they do great from bottom to top

[@drewdrakeley6865]

Because he managed to do a deal with FMF. He shows off FMF pipes on his banshee build on his channel and FMF knock him money off or send him the pipes for free. Same as most of the parts he used in the build no doubt

[@sksum6621]

I believe many people would like a pipe comparison in a dyno, there are so many options for this model.

[@Krash_fpv]

T5s are like the ultimate banshee pipes

stvnmoto i bet it’s a blast!! Riding in the dunes is the one thing I never got to do. We had some huge sand pits in Templeton, MA that had some massive hills that were fun though. I skim through Craigslist from time to time hoping to trip over a deal I can’t refuse. 😃

How did you guys like the Lectrons on the Banshee? I'm thinking hard on investing in a set

[@rmatvmc]

They're great because of how easy they tune. They're basically plug and play, no messing with different jets. You might have to make a minor adjustment with the metering rod but that's it. Anyone I've talked to that has a Lectron really likes it. - Chase

I’m debating on buying one next summer. I either want a banshee, trx250r, quadracer/quadzilla or maybe a yfz450 or a raptor 700. I do a lot of riding in my backyard and trail riding so idk what to really go with. I like 2 strokes and 4 strokes. Got 6000$ to spend so ima buy something nice.

[@elibnem4126]

If u haven't bought one yet get the 250r. It is the most reliable and best handling quad there is and you can really make them haul ass if u want.

[@travisnunya4641]

I sold my 88 250r and bought a new raptor 700 and a new yfz450r and never looked back but staying that anytime I get on 1 of my shess 97,03 it always put a smile on my face...

[@user-wr9ql9ni4x]

In the process of duplicating this banshee build, Rocky Mountains been a huge help over the last 2 months. Ran into a problem with the Uni filters hitting the FMF exhaust. Any suggestions?

Some people will use velocity stacks to get the filters further back and hopefully get the clearance you need.

[@onegoodturngetsmostofthebl7499]

The Yamaha banshee is the most exciting sport quad the company ever produced. Compare Yamaha’s propensity for cutting edge performance in the 80s to the sleepers they produce today. Case n point - the market has been begging for a modern Sport/Utility quad based on the Grizzly platform in twin cylinder 100 horse 850 cc UTV twin. Sadly big departure in Yamaha culture from bleeding edge to comatose sleeper in 2020.
