Hey guys just a quick question,
mate of mine just bought 2nd hand shee with Toomey pipes and Vforce reeds. thinbk that the only mods.
First ride on sunday riding in mix of sand and hardpack limestone,and while me on 700 rap and other mate on rm 250f 2 wheeler used only bout 1/4 tank each the shee used nearly 8 litres of fuel and had to nurse it back to the car so to not run out. is that normal usage or is something not quite right with the shee. any help appreciated as i got no clue with the 2 bangers |

Racing speedway I used to go through 20L while the 4 bangers used 4L, sounds right to me

Mines fairly thirsty when you ride it hard & that's the only way to ride a Banshee

That's right they like a good drink, don't forget 2 carbies at full noise pushes a lot of fuel out especially if your in the powerband all the time.

Thats normal the only way to get mileage is put the stock pipes back on an then youll loose all the goodness of a banshee an then you wouldnt want one either its somthink you have to put up with in less you go to a four stroke.

and the worst thing (or best) like everything he will want more power and then get even worse mileage haha my big 3 raptor sucks quite a bit more than when it was stock... price of power i guess!
