hi, you can view a banshee manual here http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/service/...rt_manuals.aspx

Incase you do not have a owners manual, yamaha has them available here http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/service/...ehome/home.aspx thought it might help. Cliff, in San Diego

well i found out it was the clutch. there was no play when the clutch was released, so the clutch must have been on slighty when in gear.I just popped a couple wheelies out on our street thx everyone P.S. I got the paddles off with a 1/2 inch drive and deep sockets.lmao

I use the plugs too, also a bottle of (tubless) slime wiil work. I tried to fix my sons friends paddle tire out at glamis last weekend, but it had too many ripps in it. Then I find out he rides it like that (flat) all the time without problems. lmao, not recommended by me.

Last night I noticed that switch wire on the clutch was disconnected, so I connected it but i could not take it for a test ride(fast enough) because I could not get his paddles off. Why he tightned those nuts like they are holding up a bridge I'll never know. I'm plenty strong enough, my rachet wasn't, and as usual he had stripped some off the nuts. I"ll let everyone know if that (disconnect) was it or whatever else it was when I find out. Appreciate all the replies. Cliff in San Diego

My son's 2003 banshee suddenly has no power , boggs way down when in gear. In nuetral it will rev way up seems fine untill you shift it in first gear and it bogs. New gas , plugs same thing. He just had the clutch redone, and will talk to repair guy. I'm thinking it might be the clutch as the clutch on my 2005 shee feels better or more the way it should than his. Any ideas?
