I'm originally from Grand Rapids and have been in the military since I bought my Banshee so I haven't been able to explore yet but I get out soon so I've been searching the net and have found a few places. http://www.fishweb.com/recreation/orv/ -This site has trails that aren't close to you but are legal for ATV use as long as you get an ORV sticker from the DNR. Also go to http://hometown.aol.com/motocrosslinks/MichiganMX3.html -this one has a listing of tracks around the state and you might find one there near you I have a few other sites not with me now but I'll transfer them to you when I get them figured out. You might also try a couple local Yamaha dealers and ask them where they ride at. Lucas Sgt USMC

Try doing a search for "banshee parts" on google and look for a place called xtreme powersports, they have an OEM parts finder that has the diagram breakdowns of all the parts in different categories and then a parts order split screen below. Actually here you go I remembered I had it easily accesible: http://216.37.204.206/xtremepowersports/Partsfinder.htm hope it helps Bull

Thanks for the tip Boonman...I was going to break them down yesterday but the auto hobby shop on base was closed down so I couldn't use the compressed air and solvent tank. I had looked at the little rubber type needle that the float opens and closes but didn't see any dirt, it might be up in there so I'll take and blow it out real good and get a thorough cleaning done on it. Thanks again! Lucas

I just got back off of deployment and have run into some problems with my 'Shee. I had it out at the track and ran it fine for two days in somewhat muddy conditions and then last Friday as I took it for a spin and it died and wouldn't start again. We tried replacing plugs, tapping on the bowls to loosen floats and nothing worked. I trucked it and left and a half hour later it started up but then bogged down and stalled after about 10-15 seconds of running and wouldn't start again. When you try to start it will somewhat backfire out the back and try to start but never quite get going. Here are some of the things I've tried: -New Plugs -Drained gas and remixed at a little leaner mixture (32:1 stock, I went 36:1 with mods thinking it might be getting too much oil) -Took the carbs apart and cleaned them, didn't really see any dirt though -Air Cleaner is clean -TORS equipped Whenever I empty the carbs out by tipping the 'Shee up and kick it to flush everything out, she will start for a few seconds and then die and then it's back to kicking it over and over and watching fuel come out the hose at the bottom of the bowl. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions or has had the same problem and might know how to fix it. Thanks in advance! See ya out there! Lucas
