I posted another topic about spitting and cutting out at full out....... not sure still whats going on......... The bike spitts and cutts out at full throttle and nothing except race gas was the change for the last ride.. Any chance a worn out or bad reed would cause this? FYI, the bike runs great at iddle and mid band, but full out is choking out .. Also, its seems to get much better after it warms up. Thought?/ thanks ya'll

Whats sg ? I have been running Klotz bean oil for ever.. at about 35-36/1 never had this problem before with the oil mix the bike runs perfect all the time, the only thing I changed was the race gas........... does anyone think it could be the REeds?

Did not try jetting the plugs where a perfect tan, and a little wet.......plus I hav used the same set up at the same place a few times............ so either bad gas, or something else any chance it might be a reed.......would it act like that?

I had just bought some race gas at the dunes......... so, it was fresh.......but someone else mention maybe some bad gass, ya think that might have been itt? never had the problem with pump gas..

Hey all, I have a small problem......... Went to the dunes this weekend and had aproblem with the bike sputtering and spitting only at full out throttle. The bike iddles perfect, and even mid throttle runs good, just wide open did it. I cleaned the carbs and new plugs...jetted perfect cause it has never done this before with the same set up. Was wondering if anyone had a thought on it...... I did replace the plugs and it seemed to go away, but the returned shortly. I also should mention that when it gets warmer it seems better, when its cold it is really bad.. Could this be a reed problem? They are still stock and it is an 2003. Thoughts Thanks

So, 1st. whats your elevation? If its close to sea level, you should be around 320 mains and 30 pilots.......I think FMF recomends a 32.5 pilot, but I could not get it started with it, so I run the 30........stock needle position and 1 1/2 turns out on the air mix...... lid off air box and K&N filter.......... runs like a raped ape:) have fun

hey all, I was at Sand Lake last weekend and there was a guy with a Banshee that had some small neon tubes zip tied to the frame and they looked bad assssss.........he said it was a stock stater........can this be done without issues to the stock charging stater? wanna do this....but dont want to hurt my shat....... thoughts? thanks

running my banshee at 320 and 27.5 pilots..........runs like a raped ape.... elevation sea level in portland oregon. air mix screw at 1.5 turns out:) good luck by the way, I tried the pilot at 30 and it would not even start, so.....I would try the 27.5 if I were you

where do you ride now......wher are you from? and what works there?

dang those are freakin' awesome so, those are thermacoating? were they chrome before or what did they look like before? nice bike man.......

so ...yeah it got wet............but what does that mean? I mean, if it gets wet, what is the thought on the problem yo? I pulled both carbs apart and they are cleaned and dialed.... any other ideas man? thanks

just a thought, but call your dealer and ask them the stock sizes and boom.............you are there.. also www.exrider.com is good for honda boys

yo icemam. how can you be a pro and not have done this? anyway... dont drill the carbs.........all i did was adjust the idle and boom your dailed just follow the cable replacement and the carb thing and you are home free have a beer 2:)

cool I have some older fatty's that need something

dude... the slided are in the wrong carbs.... been there before..........make sure the to look in the air box to see the curved side of the slide is facing the intake ............and in sink too pm if ya need more help and have a beer.......it makes it easier to fix heehee

can we see some bling pics............ please:)

where do you live? but for me, with the same set up.... replace the pilot jet to 32.5 and 340 main, especially with the the lid off and k&n... and pipes then..... the air mix... maybe 1 to 1 .5 out this runs like a raped ape for me portland oregon 200 feet elevation good luck

thanks for the input everyone......i cleaned the carbs real well and will fire it up tommorro.........to late for the burb naybers:) and I am a little drunk to fly around the hood......heehee I think it was a dirty jet but one of you mentioned a exhaust thing,, i took on some water a week ago and it seemed to go away after a few, but can that be an issue? I went in some water and it bogged down for 3 minutes, then seemed to clear out.......then this new problem.,............ dont know..........just know i like beer.......and this is true thanks banshee freinds:))

hey all, I rode my banshee last night and was running strange......I rode last week and it ran great and has been running awesome.... but last night it would start fine and idle, but a soon as you hit the gas it was bogging or acting like the carb was loading up.......I tried to open it up on the road and it would never hit full power...... could this be a dirty carb, stuck float.....clogged jet.....any thoughts ??? thanks ya'll

i always have the bling....just wanna be different man........ya know? everyone has the chrome shat.........maybe black could look cool and i am cool:) heehehee lol

hey all..........does anyone have an opinion on the black rims on the market. I am thinking of buying the ITP C-ceries black rims but do want them to look like crap in a couple months from chipping......I know the limited banshee had the black rims, did those hold the black good thought??? anyone???

hey guys, I was riding trails with lots of water last week and took on some water into the carbs, It ran strange for about 2 minutes then started running great again.......should I be worried about any problems now, or did it correct itself? thought? thanks

I am curious why someone would shorten the swing arm, when everyone wants to lengthen them..... what is the benefit of a shorter wheel base, its gonna be really unstable that way, especially when ya hit the throttle up a hill.... sounds strange why?

dude......15/41 thats like a sand bike 75 mph.........i need the low end.......almost always in 1st gear where we ride......all tight trails, i should really be riding a 4 stroke, but i cant do it...........2 stroke make me happy.......but i want more low end torque... like a 4 stroke.......... love my banshee though:)

so, jmorre, sounds like you have the same set up as me, without the shaved head and timing and lightened flywheel........... do you ride sand only or some trails? I ride mostly tight trails and always kicking my freinds ass on a honda450r hehehee but I want more low end now.. so I thought shaving this head would be a good start I do have the sprockets done at 13 front and 44 rear.....but i need more:)
