Absolutely love the black plastics on it I had sunf mx tires, hooked up great, but the compound was super soft and showed wear very quick. Can't speak for the gbc style tho.

[@onixortiz3532]

is there a way to make a banshee semi auto. i now how to drive clutch its for something i want to do.

[@caslaurent767]

I think you should build a ltr 450 it would be so cool

[@summittcole]

Wish my dad was still around to see me build my banshee. Just picked up a 1996 pure stock from a trade. This inspires me man

[@alec4453]

I think I almost like the before photos, really screamed 90s. Miss seeing banshees like this on craigslist going for 1900-2500$.

[@CountryFreshChameleon]

I heard that!!

[@MichaelSabo]

I like the classic look too man

[@greasemonkeygarage1896]

Imho both looked good.

I can listen and watch banshee content all day longgggggg🙏🏽. Encore encore!!!!! 👏👏👏👏

[@MxShee]

I said it before and i'll say it again.. theres nothing like the sound of T5s! Both banshees are looking good. I am currently rebuilding mine, it's a long process especially during covid but it's so worth it! Gotta love those black AC nerf bars, they look awesome and considering them!

[@MichaelSabo]

I agree man! Good luck with your Shee!

[@MxShee]

@@MichaelSabo thanks man! Will send you some pics of the build to keep you updated 🤓

Epic banshee build bro! Gives me something to look forward to ✊

[@quadvloggs6876]

I think i would rather see more of your own videos then seeing 3 videos in a row of other people builds, but if your waiting on parts or something I can understand why

[@aidano7503]

I appreciate the love on my personal videos! Got some non-youtube stuff going on in my life right now but I will have my normal videos back soon 🤘

My grandpa has a 86 Yamaha banshee and the first time he got it running in nine years he parked it in his garage and stoped running.and we got a Yamaha blaster to that can start but won’t run.I like you’re videos and keep doing good work.

[@RunDownBanG]

I love em and I love the father son relationship reminds me of me and my pops

[@evanwendt5817]

SunF tires are really good. Have a set on a 400ex and they hook great and they are wearing really nice too. I’d recommend!

[@joeytaylor9296]

i liked the way it looked when he first got it tbh

[@andrewmiranda5115]

Banshees are my favorite four wheeler as far as looks. Being stupid fast is a bonus. I’m actually a dirt bike guy but if I were going to buy a four wheeler it would be a banshee.

[@backyardprojects8153]

I like the yellow plastics also but that black is awesome af too

[@chriscallas9483]

That was a great half hour Mike, I like to see & hear about other people's quads and nobody does this like u. Always learning something I didn't know from you. Keep em coming!

[@Backroadsracing.]

Bru i been watching your vids all day after u came on my recommendation, keep up the amazing work i fw you

[@JeffreyChepo]

This was a cool video! Bike of the week! Awesome story! Dude This channel is addicting!

[@lukepaul2882]

Yellow black colour scheme has always been my favourite for yammy quads

[@MichaelSabo]

Definitely a great look

[@ni_wink84]

Those are so clean!! That rip with the toomeys made me miss my banshee so bad 😍😍

[@dirtbikerider21ontiktok88]

Hi

[@msl6027]

I’ve got those SUNF tires on 3 of my bikes LTZ-400 and 2 LTZ-250’s for $185 for a set 2 fronts and 2 rears on amazon can’t go wrong. Plus they are 6 ply tires. I’m in AZ and they do great with all the sharp cacti 🌵 on the ground never had any issues. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

[@OurCreatorsHouse]

Lol loved the B peel zoom in

[@tevinslaton5294]

I used to have a banshee and I had the DG exhaust on it my dad also built a bracket that hooked to the grab bar and in the corner of the back fenders to keep them from sagging.

[@FarmerBrown420]

I would like to see more of these

[@ryananderson3856]

I like the yellow better as well. I’m keeping them clean and using the black as a Beater set.

[@MichaelSabo]

Oh damn, I got that mixed up in the video!

[@ryananderson3856]

Lmao it’s all good

[@Robboned]

Sweet builds. I have two Banshees, one that was brand-new, never fueled, and the other that still is. The one that was got stolen off my brother and found years later after it was used for a getaway vehicle during a store robbery in a town over 3 hours away. He got it back, basically totaled so I bought it for way too much $$$($800) and now I'm re-building it for a totally stock look with a not-so-stock engine...not a cheap process for sure!

[@MichaelSabo]

I hope the never fueled on wasn't the one stolen... what a shame that people do shit like that. Glad you got it back in the end though bro, good luck with the rebuild!

[@steezyondablock4856]

you and anthony panza should definitely build a quad together

[@Thewatson77]

Hell yeah man. Sick couple of banshees 👍🏼

[@tduran07]

i love banshee sound

[@xfiringsquadx]

I've used SUNF. They are just as good as major brands. I think they only come in 6-ply.

I run those exact SunF tires on my 400ex. They are 6 ply tires with a ton of grip for trail riding.

[@MichaelSabo]

Thanks for the feedback man! I might pick up a set for the 400ex to try

[@brandonlove9475]

I run the sunf tires but flat track tread. Do alot of road riding and they hold up like all seasons on a car. Pretty decent tire

[@ryananderson3856]

Thanks mike awesome video ur right about the clutch it does grab. Thanks again

[@MichaelSabo]

Thanks for sharing the build with everyone man!

[@MrThunderCunt]

My dad paid 1800 for a 1999 banshee because the clutch was smoked. It had a coolhead, t3 toomie exhaust, vforce 3 reeds, stock carb. We put a new clutch from yamaha in it. Clutch lasted 2 weeks. Bought another one. Same thing. We went through 3 clutches before we tour down the whole engine, thinking there was something wrong with the transmission. Nope. The problem the whole entire time was we didnt know it was a stroker motor and it was smoking the clutch because the stock clutch wouldnt hold the power of a 4mill banshee.

[@ajsantarsiero1808]

I ran the Sun F tires on my 400ex for a while and they held up and hooked really good but I run GBC xc masters and i love them

I have used the sunf tires on a 400ex and actually ended up going back to the gbc..much more tread on the gbc and a more squared off look on the rears. With that said if your in a bind or are having a hard time getting other tires the sunf aren't terrible, just not the quality of a gbc.

actually what we were planning on doing to straighten my frame and be able to get the tank out was to knock the tank out with a rubber mallet and then take a 2x4 and a sledge hammer onto that area to hit it into place, entire radiator and tank cover dont fit properly because of that part
