1988 YAMAHA YFZ350U Banshee, This old Gal is in great shape and ready to shred the dunes! Pipes Paddles and tuned just right. Runs great and sound great. Come see for yourself. You will not be disappointed with this budget dune rider.The Yamaha YFZ350 is more commonly known as the 'Banshee' in the ATV community. It is the only twin-cylinder two-stroke ATV available. The Banshee was designed to be a high-performance racing ATV with no equals. The Banshee was introduced as a 1987 model and it continues to be the longest-offered high-performance ATV of all time. The Banshee has undergone, relatively, few evolutionary enhancements. Beginning in 1991, Yamaha improved the front suspension by incorporating a double wishbone design. Prior to 1991, the upper lateral arm of the front suspension was composed of, what was nicknamed, 'J-arms'. These J-arms represented a compromise between available space for the engine and strength of chassis. By slightly re-arranging the exhaust pipes, the upper wishbone design became possible. The easiest way to distinguish a Banshee's model year is by its colors. For the most part, Yamaha revised the colors of the Banshee almost on a yearly basis.The basic engine design of the Banshee was shared with Yamaha's RZ350 street bike. These two engines appear to be the same from the exterior, but differences in gear ratios, connecting rod lengths, and cylinders set them apart. Most notably, the RZ350 has the YPVS 'power valves' that was omitted from the Banshee engine.The Banshee remains, to this day, Yamaha’s greatest-powered ATV. Even 600cc ATVs from Yamaha can not match the sheer power offered by the Banshee's high-revving two-stroke twin.Standard YFZ350 features include:High-performance, twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled, reed-valve, two-stroke engineRugged manual clutch and 6-speed transmissionStrong, lightweight aluminum rimsTwo 30/30-watt halogen headlights with high and low beamsModel years this data is valid for: 1987-1990Manufacturer: YamahaModel: YFZ350T BansheeWheelbase: 1280mm, 50.4'Ground clearance:135mm, 5.31'Maximum load capacity:Overall height: 1080mm,Overall length: 1855mm, 73'Overall width: 1100mm, 43.3'Seat height: 780mm, 30.7'Footpeg height:Fuel capacity: 12 liter, 3.17 US gallonsEngine weight:Engine type: twin-cylinder, t
