maier's silver plastics are charcoal. i really wanted silver plastics.

Thanks for the info pimpeinkc. I'm not sure of all the mods to the bike but from the receipts and talking with the old owner all that was done was exhaust(t5's), k&n filter and a boost bottle. I have read some other posts and there seems to be a lot of different problems related to the tors i think i will try removing it and see if there is any change. I am not much of a mechanic so the idea of opening up the head scares the piss out of me!!! However, if the tors fix doesnt work i may come knockin at your door for a little lesson in piston checking. Thanks again

I bought my 1996 Banshee about 2 months ago. I have taken it out about 7 times since then with no problems. This last weekend i took it out to pismo beach and the bike was running fine for about 20 minutes then the chaos began. The first thing that happened was the bike stalled out with no warning in the middle of the powerband. After that i could not get the bike to reach the powerband it would just lug along without reaching high rpm whether i was going downhill, flatground or uphill. After about 10 minutes of this, it began running normally so I brought the bike back to camp and let a friend of mine take it out. He had no problems with it during his 20 minute ride. When he brought it back a few more people rode it and one of them had the same thing as i did happen to him. When I went to ride it again I kicked it over, revved it up and when i started to engage the clutch the bike sounded like it was going to die so i gave it more gas, it stalled out anyways. This went on for about 10 minutes then suddenly everything was fine. These same problems happened off and on for the whole weekend !! HELP!!!!
