I'm moving to Warner Robins, GA and was wondering where some good places to ride were. Thanks!

Here are some pics... I ordered a new stator from Ricky Stator 100v.

Mark- Thanks. I don't have the pulley remocal tool to remove the flywheel, so I am letting it sit in teh garage opened up tonight with my heaters on it. I am sure theFlywheel/stator were sitting in 1/2-1" of water with all the water that came out. I'll dry it as good as I can then see what happens.

WOW Guys! I took the stator cover off tonight and all the water came out. There is rust on the flywheel points and also pickup. I'll post pics of the nastiness when I find the USB cable for my camera. I guess my question now is... is everything salvageable or is everything shot? Thanks

That's one of my main problems... I have no friends right now. Well, I have no friends close by that aren't busy with their snowmobiles (although we have NO snow). I'll find a manual though, and check it out, thanks. I'll tear it apart today and check the stator. I assume it is below the black cover on the engine. If not, I'll be checking out something else.

I checked my connections and pulled the coil off and cleaned the connections. I also checked for continuity to ground for the ground wire of the coil and it was good. I checked for spark again and had a very faint spark every now and then. Is this a clue to a certain component? Thanks for any input.

Have any more details on this? I am tors ignorant? Is there a way to check it out?

I'm not dumb, but I HAVE tried starting it with the key in the OFF position.

That actually happened once before. The connection was disconnected. Of course, I checked spark plugs, adn tried starting it a million times before checking out the obvios.

I had to leave my Banshee outside for a couple days during a move and it got pretty wet. I tried riding it, and it wouldn't start. There is no spark on either cylinder. Where do I start troubleshooting? What can be most effected by moisture? That is what I was thinking would be the probable cause. Is there a way to check my ignition to ensure proper resistance? Thanks in advance. John

So, when I ride, my thumb gets all cramped up from holding the throttle... I wear gloves, but the ones I had made it worse. I thought I saw some with a special pad or gel in the thumb to help reduce the stress on my thumb. Help me pick a nice set of gloves.... What do you guys recommend? Thanks!

I'm running the 89 octane stuff we have at the pumps. Anything else up here has ethanol in it. I also use the Yamalube R oil for mixing.

Thanks for all the help and resommendations.... BTW. This started out of the blue. That is what boggles me the most. I haven't adjusted anything on the quad since I got it. I'll check it out tomorrow. Neighbors won't be to happy if it starts by chance at this hour.

When you say topend, are you referring to the head or just a new piston set? Thanks!

Kinda a two stroke beginner here. I understand where/what they are. But will I screw anything up by checking them? I was kinda thinking it could be them also. I was looking to do a carbon fiber upgrade, so now might be the time to do it.
