Hey all,
I just bought my 1998 banshee from a friend of mine out here in utah. brought it home on friday and im loving ever bit of it
Any of you utah guys might no me as all my buddies ride and im good friends with the muchmores and such. I also spend alot of time at the track racing my 02 Z06 which im sure some of you have seen around.
Anyways.. good to be here!
Now for the first Q... i bought this banshee from a friend who bought it from a guy unloading it. I really no no idea whats done to it. I was told the top end has been rebuilt very recently and the compression is indicative of a good running, almost too good running for my taste bike.
The compression is a solid 130 PSI on both cylinders! i know domes on the coolhead could bump up the compression that high but i find it hard to believe somebody would throw the smallest CC domes in a mostly stock bike ya know? like i said im up in utah so elevation is pretty dang high which is why the compression makes me wonder. Also kinda stinks because i am forced to run race gas all the time.
Here are some pics.
