Well before I had a ported shee with stock carbs and I would probably ride for an about 2 hours before I would fill up.Now with my new setup IM expecting maybe 45 minutes on a stock tank.Probably less.With your shee I would say you can ride forever lol

about a gallon a mile haha.  No but banshees suck gas down so quick.   2 of my friends have them and they always have to fill up a few times during a day when i am still on the 1st tank.  Witout mods much less but my friends with toomeys he went through 5 gallons o gas in about 6 hours.  it was rediculous

...I have a banshee at home in germany where it is legal to ride them on the street and usually I have to stop and fill up between 100 and 120km = 60 to 75 miles but off road it sucks it dry even quicker ;) depending on your riding style ;D

its a 2 stroke. and on top of that its a twin cylinder (i believe, correct me if im wrong) it sucks it down quick. 2 strokes suck on mileage. that run such a high rpm. that engine is sucking air/gas in twice as much as a 4 stroke.
