I’ve done all of my business with Larry from Fireball. I have their older gull wing style LT a-arms w/rebuildable ball joints. Setting up your camber and more importantly caster is kind of a pain in the ass, but doable with a $30 digital angle finder from harbor freight. Out of the box I had 10* of caster. Great for high speed stability, but absolute shit to turn the bike. I dialed in caster to 6* and now I can turn the bike on a dime. Another awesome aspect is they can set you up with tie rods that use the heavier duty Raptor 700 tie rod ends. The tie rod thread is a M10 rather than the Banshee M8. 19.25” is the length eye to eye. BVC Racing hooked me up with custom valved Elka Stage 5’s. Do I need Stage 5’s, hell no, but at the time they were the only Elka’s offered with the plastic spring guards. Anyway, $1,500 shipped from BVC Racing. MSRP is $1,800. I also have their +2+1 chromoly steering stem. And a +2 gusseted swing arm. All very top notch! FYI, Fireball makes a ton of suspension components for many different brands... https://app.photobucket.com/u/strm_trpr/p/9c31bbd9-86ae-49a8-9636-37ad570b8b75

Question: Just so I understand: Is this a hit and miss issue? Does it sometimes run fine with no missing and then all of a sudden start cutting out? You said it is at different points on the throttle, 1/4 throttle and up but then you say from 1/2 throttle down, thats pretty much everywhere all the time. Sounds like you have checked almost everything but there are a couple things missing from the list. First: Have you thrown a new set of plugs in the old girl? Second: Have you checked the stock carb boots for cracks or leaks? Third: Is your parking brake still connected? The parking break can be havock on you machine if it is adjusted to loose or too tight. Either way can cause the bike to sputter at different times. The plugs, had to ask. Carb boots for leaks, long shot but maybe. There are people on here who know the Banshee inside and out, most likely better than most dealer mechanics. Someone is going to have dealt with this before. Good luck. RJV
