@@Floridawoodsbanshee the thing that sucks is the sprocket location. That whole assembly on the back of the motor moves the sprocket into the centerline of the machine to line up with the rear sprocket assembly with the independent suspension

@justinmochi7323 Oh, I was wondering what that was. Lol 🤣 I just like the fact that this bike doesn't have a solid axle. Would be an ideal bike for rocky conditions. My banshee didn't work too well in the mountains

@Floridawoodsbanshee yeah that's why I got it. Very rocky in New England. As much as I'd love an ltr or raptor I kinda need the ground clearance

@justinmochi7323 Yeah, I totally get it because I destroyed the bottom of my banshee riding in the mountains. The banshee sits so low. There's not much ground clearance at all!

@@Floridawoodsbanshee got in a fight on the internet about this tool

@@justinmochi7323 😆 🤣 😂

@Floridawoodsbanshee who knows. Got 33 since the top end rebuild, and that is just a season and a half. It's 16 years old original crank. So by that math maybe 350?

@justinmochi7323 Wow, that's a bunch of hours. It was due, for sure

@@Floridawoodsbanshee yeah I was planning on doing it this winter anyway

@@Floridawoodsbanshee thanks man. It was a good rip! Goal is to be back on the trails in October

@Floridawoodsbanshee about to order everything. Doesn't look like any back order just working up the courage to spend 900 on bearings

@@denniskuenze659 glad you like it! What year is it?

20012. I’ve had several machines prior to this one. It runs as good now as it did the day I bought it. Never had any issues at all. Maintenance is the key to keeping a machine running. Good luck with yours. Do you have any trouble finding service centers to work on it? That’s why I went with Arctic Cat.

@denniskuenze659 no there is a good dealer that I drive by frequently. Honestly there is no arctic cat atv dealer anywhere near me. Sled dealers yes but not atvs

@@justinmochi7323 Yeah finding a dealer can be a problem. I used to live in Pa. There were dealers all over. I’ve since relocated to Western North Carolina. The few dealers in my area don’t work on Arctic Cats. The closest dealer for me is an hour away. But they specialize in Arctic Cat so it’s worth the trip. Good luck with your machine. I just subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to catching up and seeing your new videos.

@@denniskuenze659 thanks! Looking forward to talking in the future

Ehhhh maybe

@@ghostrider1244 yeah IDK I've been poring over the parts lists and can't find it anywhere. I've been in that side cover twice and never seen it there before

@@Floridawoodsbanshee kenda kutters they are okay

@@Floridawoodsbanshee thanks!

@Weyland-Yutani my girlfriend is 4'11 and I had the same issue. Unscrew the pegs, find bolts that are about an inch longer, then put something between the peg and foot board as a spacer (I put two oversized nuts on each bolt) to add the amount of height you want. Then screw them back on. Mine are about an inch taller and it hasn't given me an issue for over a year now

It's awesome. Working on getting the rear shocks but apparently elka no longer makes them. Working with race tech to make a custom set but haven't heard back from them in a minute now

@@justinmochi7323 getting parts is taking longer and longer. I feel like something is not right. It shouldn't take months to get parts.

@Floridawoodsbanshee the machines are getting older, there are fewer people doing build projects on them like back in the day. The banshee probably still has another ten years or so due to its popularity, but it'll start to really peder off eventually, just like the xx, zila, etc

@justinmochi7323 and more people are getting out of the sport. That's not gonna help! My DWT bead lock rims have finally shipped out. It's been 3 months.

@@Floridawoodsbanshee I just ordered some dwt red labels, came in as blue labels... SMH

Yes it's ugly lol but I'm a tree guy and this was my first weld job

Thanks! More in the future

@@justinmochi7323 yes please;-)

Yes. Air is rather cheap.

🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭🤫

Long travel all the way

I'm a hair over 50. I thought I'd be around 48. I don't race so I'm not concerned with it

In the process of editing the video now

@@justinmochi7323 sweet! What software do you have

@@Floridawoodsbanshee capcut lmao. If you have any recs lemme know cuz it was a fight

@justinmochi7323 I have zero experience. Just bought a gopro 12. Have not opened up the box yet.

@@Floridawoodsbanshee I got the same thing a few months ago. Great picture bad battery life

Very huge, very heavy, but honestly not super complicated. Not bad compared to a canam or polaris with all their adjustable engine braking, adjustable power steering, visco lock bs, million inch displays, GPS, etc etc. But yeah it ain't for everyone! Plenty of smaller machines out there. Kawi just updated the brute force it looks pretty sexy

You can't do a hybrid on this chassis. I've thought about it with a t7 or ktm 690. But the sprocket on this motor comes out in a completely different spot than anything else. So unless you did something like what bvc does with their fat tire bikes than it's not feasible

​@@justinmochi7323oh I didn't know that. Well it sure is a cool looking machine

@@Floridawoodsbanshee thanks!

What machine is it?

​@justinmochi7323 I have a banchee. If you make it down to Florida, let me know. We have awesome trails. Gonna put up another video tonight.

@Floridawoodsbanchee I'm in New England! One day I wanna do a big riding trip with my gf once she gets good enough to ride her own machine

I just wish it had like a foot long extension so you could get some more height

@@justinmochi7323 lol i think at that point you would just get a cordless pole saw.

@zachmoyer1849 oh my family runs a tree business we have all the goodies. Just got this to make it easier for my dad (who has a bad arm) to prune) which it does great

Yeahhhh. I'll make some more videos with it idk why it struggled so much on that one cuz it was doing great on everything else

Yeah I was in the snow today. 4wd let me rip through anything, and a quick switch to 2wd let me whip around in very tight stuff

I think pipe and piggyback tuner gets to mid 80s. You really don't need any more this thing will do wheelies and go over 70 all with a passenger

@@justinmochi7323 thanks man for the advice

You can!!!

You can get it pretty close to 90 hp to the crank not the wheels. All atv's rate the HP and tq at the wheels. The good news is that the new 1000 touring models coming out will already have 91hp at the crank.

nice news @@jrminate

The new 24 has 90 from the factory,should tear itself apart in about 10 minutes,my 22 1000 makes 79 HP and it's broken after every single ride, and it's not been beat at all, rear differential and drive shaft now something in the transmission,,do your self a favor and spend the extra on a canam

@@keithbelz2346 you know we have all types off can am here in dubai but its not that popular the most common one is the maverick i think its called so that i ordered one thanks for your advice

I believe it was a white but I can't remember. And thank you lol

You gotta be stupid to get burned. I'd say mild discomfort on very long and slow rides in the summer.

For the money it can't be beat. But it isn't the right machine for everyone. Very large.

@@justinmochi7323 ya I hear ya iv seen videos of people rippin it on the cf1000 but. Like you said it’s not for everyone. Neither are the brute forces. Idk why more people ain’t on a brute force they’re the titts

@Ridin-Dirty589 yeah they're a solid quad. It's just in a weird class, not competing with the grizzly or the 850s. Anyone who wants a v twin also wants a ton of hp, which the brute force doesn't quite have.

The grizzly would sell more if it wasn't so damn ugly up front!

Wear riding pants and boots. Or put more insulation inside the plastic

yeah it gets very hot. you can get aftermarket headers so it flows better. i put more heat shield on the inside of the plastic. i have a video about it. but hey, atleast its nice in winter lol

Best thing to do is buy a canam ,,I have a 22 overland 1000 and it's broken after every ride, started with what I figured was my fault,,CV axle,,now I've replaced the rear differential,drive shaft out of transmission,and now it's got a hellaous noices in the transmission

I may eventually get spacers. They just add stress to suspension components is all

@justinmochi7323 yea they do, that's why I went with the 1" and not the 1.5" or 2" to try and minimize the stress, and the extra stability is noticeable

Yeah it's a tank! I think the headlight switch doesn't line up bc it may be the same as the 800 but it also has the accessory lights which may have changed things. Idk. Thanks for the kind words

That’s what I’m saying. I’m a brute force guy. I just sat on one (cf moto 1000)yesterday and man. It’s huge and it’s heavy and all the storage makes it feel cluttered and crammed into the handle bars.

@@Ridin_Dirty589 it’s a nice riding machine but I regret selling my brute force to by this one the brute force was paid for 2 it’s way more fun to flick and ride aggressively with that said the cforce rides better is faster but it’s a tank it ride rough trails like a Cadillac but after having it a bit it’s just to big and makes me worried about what if cause I have almost flipped it and it would take a hulk to turn it back up right

Love it. Putting up a full length review of it.

Shell still get taken out a bit in mass, but Maine trails close in November until June (the dumbest thing that state does)

​@@justinmochi7323Maine sucks close trail in November,close trail for mud ,close trails for washouts,,I find all the trail closure to make for better riding with less traffic,,,

Maine opens up Memorial Weekend

@@woodenyasayso3101 yeah last weekend of May

Maine opens may 15

Thanks for the compliments. Sounds like a polaris 525. I was gonna get one of those before the xx but I've had issues with polaris quality in the past

It is an ims 4.8 gallon tank. With the fuel pump it is about 5 total. When I'm riding hard I'd say I'm getting a little under 20 miles to the gallon but I can definitely squeeze 100 miles out of a tank if I need to

@justinmochi7323 I had the 3.2 on my KTM 450. If I was exploring I could get about 110 miles but I just got Clarke 5 gal. For the banshee. Have not tested it out yet. Frame is about to be powder coated. Just waiting on more parts.

@dudeinshorefishing6829 powder coated frame is end game for me. In a few winters I'll send the motor out for a new crank and transmission and while it's out I'll do the frame too. Good luck with yours
