I adjusted the pick up and unwound the wire harness and all the wires look to be in good condition. I have given up at this point. I will hopefully find a good mechanic to get it fixed.

I replaced the stator and still have the same problem. I have checked all the wires for continuity and they all check good. I bought an ohm meter but I am at a dead end as to what I should check next? This really sucks

Hey Ben, Thanks for the reply. I did use my friends coil and CDI, I also ran an additional ground to the frame right off the coil. I am probably going to go buy a Ricky Stator and install it. I am fairly certain that is the problem. Its funny, I own 5 2-stroke street bikes, a CR250 and 4 quads and this is the first time I was actually thinking of taking something to a shop

Last trip to the dunes on the last day my 96 Banshee started to run a little rough in one cylinder. I sprayed some lube around the reed cages and the idle changed. After trying to make a quick fix The bike would no longer start without starting fluid so I thought that maybe some top end damage had been done. I took apart the top end and had my machinist spec everything. He said the rings were a little worn but everything was in good overall shape. He honed the cylinders and I put in some new pistons/rings. The bike still wouldn't start without starting fluid and runs poorly. I cleaned the carbs and checked the spark. It is there but very weak. I took apart all wiring connections, cleaned the run/off switch and basically made sure everything wiring was clean and connected. At one point I was checking the spark with the plug in the boot and it was great, then it went back to weak. I thought maybe it was my coil or CDI so I borrowed my friends coil/CDI from a running bike. The spark is still weak and the bike won't start. At one poing again while checking for spark it looked great then back to weak. I am at a loss. I have a feeling that it is the stator or something under the side cover at the end of my crank but I don't know how to test for that. Everything under the stator side cover looks clean/dry and nothing appears loose. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. I am hesitant to take it to a shop for an electrical problem but it may come to that. BTW, the bike is mostly stock with pipes and a filter.

I am looking for a good set of exhaust clamps. The rubber hoses don't seem to last very long. I would prefer a Billet set but.... I will be using them on my T5 pipes Thanks!

Hopefully I will be able to edit my post but its not looking promising. Paid 80overShee for a Hush kit April 5th. First Jeff said he mailed it but it came back as a wrong address. Then he said it was mailed but I never recieved it. Now he won't respond to the Paypal resolution email, my PM's on this site or regular email. I have been very patient waiting for 2 months and I hope he follows through with the deal or at least returns my money. If we come to a resolution I will edit this post.

I bought a Hush Kit from him 50 days ago and never recieved it. All I got were excuses as to why it wasn't mailed

Thanks John!! Item as described, cheap shipping and fast. A+++ DOH, I accidentally hit submit new topic instead of new post Admins can delete or whatever.

I will buy the black grill. You take paypal? Throw me a pm with info. Thanks!

Codsider them sold I sent you a pm.

I would replace it. A cost of a new helmet is not worth the chance of having to wear a helmet full time.

I just bought a 4" extended swingarm so I need to extend my chain. It is a 520 oring chain. I am also looking for a set of Nerf bars with Red, yellow or black netting.

I am interested in the Nerf bars and the front bumper. How much for each or both?

IMHO the word "Divorce" should never be said in a marriage unless the marriage is heading that way. I own several streetbikes, and while my wife doesn't like them or ride on them, she knows they make me happy so she puts up with it. If there ever comes a day where my wife threatens to divorce me for something I enjoy or want to try out, I will gladly have the papers drawn up as the relationship would be over anyway. We only have so much time on this planet so use your time doing things that make you happy and ditch the dream killer. I have been happily married for 12 years and neither the wife nor I have ever said the "D" word when talking about our relationship.

I forgot to mention that I am on a budget so the bikes will most likely be 4-10 yrs old. It has to be straight auto. My wife doesn't really want to ride and if there is anything at all complicated it won't work, and no, its too late to trade her in for a different model
