  1. Thanks for the reply, I looked into my carbs through the air box and noticed the left one was stuck open. Upon further investigation, I found out the cable was almost snapped. I purchased a TORS elimination kit from RockyMountainATV.com and everything works fine now!
  2. I found the answer on Toomey tech docs http://www.toomey.com/html/pro-ban.htm Route the cable up through the frame just like the stock one was. In case the stock cable was routed poorly, the criteria is to keep as big a radius as possible everywhere in the cable, to avoid kinks or sharp turns and to insure the cable is fully relaxed when you turn the handlebars from lock to lock, so that nothing will pull or squish the cable. Attach the cable to the thumb throttle in the same manner as the stock one. Screw the throttle cable into the upper housing fully. "Blip" (twist) the throttle a couple of times to insure everything works properly, and although everything might not be adjusted properly yet, there is no binding or unusual feel. Confirm the throttle slides bottom out fully on the floor of the carb bore too. There should be approx.. 1/4" of play in the handle end of the throttle cable too, when the throttle slides are fully down. You can now replace the gas tank and seat. With the air cleaner off the bike you can stick your fingers in the back of the carb and actually feel the slides move. What you hope to accomplish here is to feel which slide moves first, and adjust the other to match it so that they move exactly at the same time. Using the carb cap cable adjuster on the slide that moves first, adjust the cable play so there is about an eighth of an inch of freeplay between the cable sheath being all the way down in the adjuster and where it is when it starts pulling the slide. Tighten down the lock nut on the cable adjuster and slide the rubber boot down over the adjuster. This one's done. Going to the other side, adjust the carb cap cable adjuster such that when the first carbs' slide just starts to move, this one moves too. Adjust them so they open together. Again, lock the adjuster with the lock nut and slide the boot down to cover the adjuster.
  3. I have two questions dealing with throttle, as I have just removed the TORS system. 1. On the throttle valve, you can adjust the cable connecting to it. Should I adjust it so I have a little bit of cable play before that valve is lifted or should I just find the point where the throttle valve barely touches the inside bottom of the carb so if I moved the cable it would slightly raise the valve? 2. Anybody know any tricks to rout your throttle cable or where to tie it off so when you turn your handle bars it doesn't change the idle speed? The Clymer manual showed me how to synch the carbs, but I don't remember seeing anywhere on what is the proper adjustment for the tension to the throttle valve. The mark on the valve that I can see through the Carb window, that isn't suppose to be shown at full open throttle, is it? The mark is shown probably at half throttle. thanks
  4. I noticed that the inside of my rims are dented and there's a slow air leak coming from that area. I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem, and if the rim is dented and leaking air, can it be 'beat' back in to shape? Anything else I can do to fix this? Is there anything I can do to the tire if the rim is good and the tire isn't? thanks
  5. Yuck.. just checked the 10 day weather http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/USID...om=search_10day Isolated/scattered rain.. hopefully it'll scatter itself away from the dunes!
  6. Good question. We just went to Little Sahara, Utah a couple of weeks ago and the rangers told us we didn't need to have license plates anymore. Anyone know if it's the same for St. Anthony?
  7. I'm not sure if my idle is set too low, but I'm running a stock '02 banshee. Last weekend at the dunes, I noticed that if I barely push in the the thumb throttle, my bike dies. Do they all do this or could it be something with a dirty air filter or idle set too low? This happens without any choke, after it's been warmed up (not sure if it happens when it's cold/hasn't been ran). thanks
  8. Never had any problems with them and I live about 60 miles away, so my stuff usually arrives the next day
  9. I should be up there with a couple of people... all have banshees and probably 1 scrambler. Will be staying up at the Sand Hills Resort area.
