thinking about trading for a banshee

[derek2113]

i have a 2005 blaster that is in perfect condition plus some aftermarket parts and i posted an ad in cragslist to trade for a 2 stroke dirtbike or 250r atv, well anyways a guy offered to trade me a 1988 banshee that he says only needs rod bearing? i am sceptacle because i dont want to trade my running atv for something that isnt even going to run he also says he's never ridden it and hes trading it becuase he has 3 other banshees that are nicer. should i do this do you think it would be worth it. is a rod bearing that expensive and hard to put in?

 

[1997blaster]

idk about the bering but sounds fishy why does he want a blaster if hes got banshees and gonna trade you one for it idk but id take a shee over my blaster any day so why would someone downgrade if its something small to fix idk but id have it cheked out by someone

 

[samolia]

you should be abile to get 1500 out of your blaster so i would go that way....
that and i highly dought anyone is ganna trade a running 250r for a blaster like said above no one down grades....
im not trying to be mean im just giving my honest opinion

 

[derek2113]

yeah thats what i was thinking it sounded fishy i dont think im gonna trade anyways ill just save up and buy a banshee or sell the quad and buy and older banshee.

Most of the time its more of a pain to replace the rod bearing than to just replace the whole crank!

i got another offer a 1999 rm125 fmf pipe pro circuit silencer ufo plastic plus $250 do you think i am getting a good deal the bike looks like its in nice shape and my blaster is in really good shape.

 

[derek2113]

does any one have an rm125 and are they nice bikes it would be faster than my blaster right?

It will blow a blaster away,post some pics.

 

[blaster01]

it will be way faster than u blaster!! 2 wheels and its a 2 stroke

 

[derek2113]

i tried posting the pics but their too big i guess it has new plastic on it tho. yellow and black i just feel that im getting the short end i wished i would have said 350 instead of 250 i even have an extra set of rims and tires i want to get rid of

Trade for the banshee and get an a-arm frame for a couple hundred bucks and throw a 4mm stroker crank in with the rebuilt engine. Itll only run you 500 or so and you will have one bad ass quad.

 

[derek2113]

i decided to keep my blaster where i live i cant ride dirtbikes on trails or even atvs in some spots so ill just keep my blaster and make it faster! I:I

dude its a HUGE job to replace a rod bearing on a banshee engine. not to mention alot of money to rebuild or for a new crank.
