'shee

ok.... I went out and switched the wires and it still did the same thing. I was going to tear into the intake manifold and take out the reeds, but as a last thought I decided to check my air filter. So I removed my outerwear and ran it up the street and it ran perfect. So to make sure i wasnt imagining things i checked it again with the outerwear on and it misfired (or sounded like it) so I will be getting a new outerwear because my old one is worn out. I hope you guys dont cast me out of the banshee hq for overlooking such a stupid thing like an air filter.

Is the bike going to run ok with the plugs switched around?

I am currently running Yamalube 2R. And I was advised to run a synthetic oil, i thought about running klotz. If i do is this the best oil for it? and what ratio should i mix it at?

I have a 96 banshee, and i just made a trip to the st. anthony dunes. Anyways here is my problem: My banshee fires up on the first kick, and it idles perfectly. but on the very top end the left cylinder seems to misfire. So i went and checked my plugs, the were both fine. so then i put the spark plug wire back on and i pulled it right out of the ignition coil. I put it back in and it idles fine, but it still misfires. could it be that my coil is shot? and are the spark plug wires made to come out?

I am looking for a set of 4 yamaha rims for my banshee. I want the white aluminum rims. It would be nice to have them in fairly good shape. If you have a set for sale please let me know.

well i went out and rode it. I found out that if i let it wind out just a little longer it doesnt do that anymore, so im not worried about it anymore. thanks

well, maybe its just me, and im dreaming up crap. maybe its fine and i dont know it because i was used to my 400ex.

I refered to my clymers manual, and it said to run what i had in it. Would gear oil be making that big of a difference?

THe bike runs like a champ, i dont think it is the engine, when its in the powerband the thing screams. The only way i can explain my problem is to say that in 5-6 gear, it seems like the clutch is slow to engage fully. but when it engages the bike pulls strong.

Sand Mountain in utah is a fun place to ride. There is always someone there willing to race...I'd always lose on my 400ex, but now that I have a banshee i cant wait to take it there. I may be going on July 2nd.

Ok, I got my clymers.... I was reading it last night and it said it could be something such as having a too viscous oil. I am running 10w-50 yamalube. Could this be my problem?

I just went out and rode it... It bogged down in second and it did in third. I was on asphalt when i did it. Is this pushrod/ball assembly located on the top of the crankcase? And is it connected to the cluctch cable? How would I adjust it? Thanks

the clutch will only slip right after it is let out. but if i put it into a high gear and let it rev up to the powerband it works fine. could it be that i just need stiffer clutch springs?

what will stiffer clutch springs do?

will there be shavings in the crankcase oil? I changed the oil yesterday and i looked thru it and i saw no contaminents in it.

I just bought my first banshee last saturday. I went out and ran it today to see what it had. It screams! I have a question about it tho. I'm not to familiar with banshees so here I go... In 1st -4th gear it runs fine, but in 5th-6th gear it seems like after I let out the clutch, it slips for a second, and then the revs drop down. Is this normal? Any help would be awesome.
