When you took the banshee out to the field and started throwing dirt at the camera, I felt like I was there. I could smell the earthy smell. Loved hanging out with you for a few minutes. Thanks.
I bought a brand new black and red one in 1997. Actually my dad bought it and i mowed lawns and graveyards to make the $81 monthy payment. I was 14 and the envy of everyone i rode with!
I’m old enough to remember when these first came out, there was just nothing else like it! I jealously sat on a brand new one in awe at the dealership as dad was at the parts counter getting stuff for my 1973 Yamaha dirtbike 🤣
I saw one while out trail riding in like 1987, I was 10, on my 78 yamaha ty80b, dad had an 84 it490.. this banshee came out of the woods, onto the road we were parked alongside.. dude rips this wheelie and was crackin gear changes down the road! I was mesmerized! My dad and his buddy went on to talk about how that engine came from a cafe bike etc... I rode one way later in like 2001.. fckn crazy machine.. even bone stock.
We raced one my friends son had... They " felt" and " sounded" faster then they were.. My Suzuki450 four stroke, and his dads Yamaha 650 were both faster..
@@ricksmith4736 sure these days, I’m talking back in 1987 when they came out. The only thing faster might have been a quadzilla but you’d never seen those around, not around here anyways.
Runs mint after changing those jets... heck, ran good before. Lol. I had a new 2001 when I was 18. Miss it.. what an adrenaline rush! Got my blood pumping just watching it. Awesome 👌
53:48 AMen. mine too, Joe. I was lucky to have a pal with a Banshee, back in the day. we’d temporarily swap rides when out ripping trails & that 350 blew my mind every time. I kept my 250 Fourtrax & had many Blasters, but I never owned a Banshee. they were rare & always special.
Absolutely agree on nothing beats a Banshee. Once you ride one your done. Everything is slow after that. To bad they are so spendy. Thanks for great video again.
Got out to shop this morning for another day of the Warrior from hell and my guys watching this one. Love the new finds. Weak spark, but it can clean up easy. Great find and vid...Dolores OHV, approved!!
This was without a doubt the most bad ass quad you landed. It bought me joy just hearing that thing scream. I remember these back in my years when I raced a 250 Suzuki quadracer. These were undefeated.
Dude you scored. Great job as usual. Vinnie is quite the dog to have around. He's been there to run with you every build. My question is...What about a live chat? This would be frickin insane. You couldn't keep up with the feed. Have a reminder to set for everyone. Have Vinnie, and even Jade to tell us how much she supports you and puts up with the noise. Would like to know how building and fence is going and how far is your land from your house? Even see more responses to people's comments. Take care from Waukesha out!
oh yaaa i remember wife and i bought matching red n white first year banshees. 87s i think, toomey pipes, boost bottles, ported n polished, twist throttles, nerf bars. friday rollin in to st joe state park flat river, mo. with the fastest machines on the entire planet!!! till bout sunday afternoon somebody spanked us. on the way back to illinois we were plotting the next mod. we will show them next trip. rode them over 10 yrs. so much fun.
I was a die hard ATC 250R guy for years, wouldn’t touch a ATV, until I rode a Banshee.. now I’ve had prob 50 or more over the years, love them to death, my only complaint was I wish they had set it up with a single carb from the factory, would have made life much simpler.. the aftermarket 2-into-1 setup worked ok, but for anything that wasn’t built super heavy (Stroked) the factory carbs always seemed to work out the best.. Nice Find, been watching your videos for quite awhile, good content & God bless!
Lt 250 and banshee races! I appreciate your hustle finding these old death machines and resurrecting them. Brings me back to when I had fun on them! Thanks Joe!
Fantastic two stroke, reminds me of my youth - As far as that Husaverg is concerned - The electrex stator has been reported by some to damage the CDI unit, and it needs a MOD - The consensus is to have the original stator rewound and/pr modified - Also try spraying the stator with electronicspray to get the water out - Other obvious issues to check are the kill swith or ignition swith to see if it has got short circuit to ground and check resistances in the stator are OK - Also, make sure grounding wires have a good connection - But the consensus of opinion is (Having read forums), is that you need a MOD which stops a surge of voltage found on the electrex stators so it doesn't damage the cdi - Coils are an obvious one too, but I would start with the stator and CDi.
Love your vids..have watched you since you started your channel. Have watched you learn and watched you grow as a mechanic and i thank you for the oppertunitty to watch.keep up the good work. You take me back a few years.im still wrenching on anything that catches my interest.wanted to share what i do to rubber intakes and actualy any rubber on my project.soak it in armour all no touch tire foam!! Good stuff...ive had intakes boots that were weathered severly and actualy leaked slightly so i would warm the intake and spray heavy on it and spray it heavy every 10 or fifteen min. Keep it dripping for awhile .ive used that stuff by the cases........thanks again for the content...keep it up!!
My ‘97-‘98 banshee All Blk & Carbon edition with red radiator shrowd had a computer located on top the dual carbs,. I can’t remember but , seems like it was to do with fuel,air, electronic adjustment of the carbs??
What a killer find and deal on that Banshee. The prices of those are getting ridiculous. So for $3k.......you definitely gonna make a profit if you decide to sell it. Excellent work..... Excellent video..... Excellent Content. Looking forward to the next video
Wow That thing rips like none others ..crazy machine !! Look like you had fun with it and was giving you everything you asked from it !! Those are mytical machines like those elsinore , sounds from my childhood !! Values will only go up !! Big score i'd say over pretty good haha !! Well done !
That's the stock color scheme for 1995. The original owner just removed the stock tank and tank shrouds and put a high-capacity fuel tank of the same yellow. I don't think the yellow seat cover is stock though.
@@anthonyrowland9072 Indeed. The same goes for some dirt bikes. They weren't afraid to throw out some colors on their machines. Now they keep regurgitating the same boring color schemes. You could tell something was new for the year because the colors changed to show it. Now all model years look the same.
@@anthonyrowland9072 Yes. The gold wheels make everything look awesome when done right. My YZ465 still has its' original gold wheels. Sadly the front one has a small crack forming on the side of it. I'll probably invest in some modern replacement gold Excel wheels for it when I finally get around to tearing into the bike and rebuilding it. Right now it's just a pile of parts. :)
It was difficult for you to separate yourself from him, but it's understandable. Blaster,Trx,Raptor... Whatever the brand and model, this gem will never be manufactured again. Whoever has driven or owns a Banshee knows what I mean, it represents a culture. Congratulations for bringing one to the channel.
My man you find some great machines for great prices a banshee in tht condition for 3000 that’s a steal and that frame looks money being a barn find absolutely love it banshees def my favorite machine of all time
You better keep this one Joe. They are getting harder and harder to find every year. I love it though I have two identical to that one. And I love both of them. Awesome video bro. 👍👍
When I came home from the army my childhood friend had to of those with various aftermarket parts, what a fun time, he took me to some trails and hill climbs!
I just started watching your videos a couple weeks ago and I'm enjoying them and you have so many to go through where the answer to my question might lie, but I'm just curious what your background is are you just self-taught or are you an actual licensed small engine mechanic.
Think you got a good deal on this one not to bad of a repair. Think you do a lot better when people that don’t know what there doing mess around with the bikes trying to get them running then your stuck fixing what someone else messed up or took off before they sold it. Thanks for the post still waiting to see how the old Yamaha rides and turns out. Love watching the old dirt bike repair videos
Nice work! I’m glad you checked the oil and washed it first this time. You never do that. Your sucking in all that dirt through the carbs when your doing your donuts.
On this particular carbuerator you screwed the air screw 2 1/2 turns to the clockwise. After cleaning and inspecting you will put it back and screw it in all the way and back off 2 1/2 turns. How do you know if 2 1/2 turns was set correctly in the first place?
He turns it in all the way and counts the turns until it bottoms out to see were it was set from the last owner assuming it was set correctly in this case it wasn't and he readjusted it after the first startup because it was idling high u can find how many turns it was set in a owner's manual for the bike and I think the pro circuit website has it as well
I wish I found these deals , great channel been addicted since I found you , sending love from another rider/wrencher , have a 2010 xcr 450 I just rebuilt runs like a top, that banshees 7k all day where I’m from in any condition
It literally is a $3,000 fine. But totally worth it. Joe you find some of the BEST machines where you live.. couldn't have worked out better for you man.. Gosh I haven't seen one of those in a LONG time. What a blast! (there's a spot south of me, a little area called Atco, it's the Pine Barons, Jersey Devil stuff) where you can find some crazy outdoor stuff, but the things you come home with.. man
I'm surprised that the grease zerk fittings aren't stuck shut. Jerking the grease gun tip off the fittings before the pressure subsides will prematurely wear out the grease gun jaws but buying new grease gun tips shouldn't be a big deal. I greased the concrete trucks I've driven for 35 years and it's a pain to use a grease gun with worn out grease tip jaws. More grease on the outside than in. Just saying
A couple of years back I had saved 6000 for a quad... I had the tuff choice between an 03 Banshee or an 06 Raptor 700... I flipped a coin on it and the coin chose the Raptor 700... Though I loved the Raptor 700, Im pretty sure I would of loved the Banshee 350 also.
I think you do a great job on your videos and purchases not alone the repairs you do. I tried watching this video this week along with another the 250 Elsinore video and MY GOD THE COMMERCIALS!!! UA-cam has made it almost impossible to watch any content without constant interruptions . It was painful to watch your videos and I am sure anyone else's video with the non-stop commercials. I think I watched your 30 minute video and there must have been over 50 commercials . so long youtube,
Thats one sweet quad , sounds great now it fully revs out with the new jetting , I would deffo get an airbox and air filter for it those K&N pod filters are great on road bikes but no good for the dirt
I don't know if you know this or not but if the plastics on your bikes or scratched but not cracked you can take a heat gun to the plastic and get rid of all the scratches just make sure you don't put the gun too close to the plastic and it will slowly make the plastic scratches go away and make it nice and shiny again anyway I love your videos I learned a lot you're awesome take care and have a great day
Wow those carbs were mint, my buddy passed away 8 years ago and i just got his mint 94 trailboss 250 2x4off his momand got it running, the carb on his was filled with about 1/4 inch of green crap, had to put it in the ultrisonic cleaner 3 times

If you ever get the money Paul Turner pipes and silencers are the way to go, you can get them for mid-range or high-end. If you're riding trails I recommend the mid-range it's what I got and I cannot say enough about them!!!!
Pull them plastics and replace and new tires and pull the motor and rebuild it all! Treat this girl to her new life! I've been dying for a banshee! I'm gonna pay around 6 for one in the future while I still can I may hang it I my shop till the end of time idk....what I do know is the price is gonna keep climbing till a company figures out how to remake the banshee
I am in shock. First time this dude has EVER cleaned a vehicle before working on it. What the hell just happened. Damn.

That's the first thing I thought as well!
And @mikeymike Yep.... literally my first thought!!!! 😂😂😂

You don’t go where Joe lives on vacation. So he gets low dollar bikes at least 😅😮
That launch you did on the trail after re jetting to 152. Whew 👏👏👏
Brings back a lot of memories. Those were the thing back when I was growing up.
Before you ever pull a spark plug out, blow off around the plug to keep from dumping any dirt or sand into the cylinder.
That's why he washed it
And left water to go down into cylinder
Piss poor wash job!!!
You got me to watch because of the word Banshee. They are my favorite to build. $3k is a decent deal for that shape in California.

Considering what new quads cost these days, $3000 is a drop in the bucket, especially since there is a huge market for Banshees.
A 3000$ banshee in my area is a clapped out stolen looking one that needs engine work or engine is removed

@@ricksmith4736 Banshee r only good for sand dunes no good in the woods or mx
I think you do a great job on your videos and purchases not alone the repairs you do. I tried watching this video this week along with another the 250 Elsinore video and MY GOD THE COMMERCIALS!!! UA-cam has made it almost impossible to watch any content without constant interruptions . It was painful to watch your videos and I am sure anyone else's video with the non-stop commercials. I think I watched your 30 minute video and there must have been over 50 commercials . so long youtube,
Give rumble a try, keep in mind it’s still fairly new
So much better than any 4 stroke quad ever made now that's a machine 👏
Thats one sweet quad , sounds great now it fully revs out with the new jetting , I would deffo get an airbox and air filter for it those K&N pod filters are great on road bikes but no good for the dirt
I don't know if you know this or not but if the plastics on your bikes or scratched but not cracked you can take a heat gun to the plastic and get rid of all the scratches just make sure you don't put the gun too close to the plastic and it will slowly make the plastic scratches go away and make it nice and shiny again anyway I love your videos I learned a lot you're awesome take care and have a great day
Wow those carbs were mint, my buddy passed away 8 years ago and i just got his mint 94 trailboss 250 2x4off his momand got it running, the carb on his was filled with about 1/4 inch of green crap, had to put it in the ultrisonic cleaner 3 times
Just finished ground up build on my barn find
What is it?
@@stkyfngrszmooth 1996 Yamaha banshee 350 That is now a 4mill stroker, my next project will be putting a quadzilla together that has been in boxes for 20 years
@@alexanderharris1800 Very nice. For reasons I'll never understand I keep having the same dream that I have a Quadzilla in boxes and I've been waiting to bring it back to life. I have it at least three times a week. Strange, I know. 🤷🏻♂️
Awesome restoration build nut 🥜 & bolt 🔩 awesome machine she's a keeper for sure 😃
Another great find 2vintage love the vid keep going
If you ever get the money Paul Turner pipes and silencers are the way to go, you can get them for mid-range or high-end. If you're riding trails I recommend the mid-range it's what I got and I cannot say enough about them!!!!
Love that you washed it first!
Pull them plastics and replace and new tires and pull the motor and rebuild it all! Treat this girl to her new life! I've been dying for a banshee! I'm gonna pay around 6 for one in the future while I still can I may hang it I my shop till the end of time idk....what I do know is the price is gonna keep climbing till a company figures out how to remake the banshee
