Ahhh... your the guy in the australian quad bike mag !! I think.. I'm from Canberra ACT. Its nice to meet you.. I had that magazine in at work telling every one that there are other Sheebangers here in oz. lol Nice work dude.. How do you find those pipes? Im in the market for some and am wondering what other riders like. Any way.. Good work on the bike. Ill see you round yeah :-) Im looking at coming up to stockton one day... Might see you there ! Shane

Hey thanks.. lol The Rodeo is my first born child... lol The Sheebanger is my second.. lol Yes I am an OZY... lol Yeah every thing seems to be solid. nothing wants to move. So I guess Ill give it a days riding and see what I think.... Thanks for your input. Nice bike by the way... Are you ozy?

Hi guys, I have an 06 model Banshee thats stock standard. I'm working on it very slowly with upgrades and other stuff that I want done. I was mucking arround with the pipes and pulled the ends out with the little tubes that curve down. I started the bike and it has a better note and seems to run fine. Is this ok for my Sheebanger? I like the look/note/little bit of performance upgrade but dont want to kill it. every thing seems to be intact and looks like its not going to fall out... Do you have any advice?? (Except new pipes... They are on the way soon)

Hey Hey Hey, Well... After Two Weeks of the Mechanic looking at me Shee, I decided to go in and talk to him about it. The guy had been scratching his head the whole time. I told him what you guys recomended and he had the problem solved in half a day!!!! IT WAS THE TORS ! T = Piece O = Of R = Shit S = System Thanks to you guys Im back on my Shee and am blasting away all day. I will be removing the tors ASAP. I think I might take a few pics and link them for you guys. It still looks the same on the 06 model. Just in case... Any Way... THANKS YOU GUYS ROCK ! Big Shanus (MADCAT) ROCK ON Banshee HQ !

Yeah looks good hey.. I just painted them with white model paint. It was really just for a few photos while it was new. It lasted about one ride and all was gone. Worth the pictures though... :biggrin: For that other reply: I have checked the pressure out of each pipe and all is good. Its currently in the Yamaha Dealer. They are checking the electrics. Only problem over here in oz is that they are a little rare and not many dealers know what they are doing. I think Im gunna unplug the TORS and give it a blast. The shit of a thing is brand new. It shouldn't really be much.... I'll be shitty if it is. :: Cheers guys

I run 95 octain unleaded fuel, with Motul 710 at 33:1 ratio. Does this mix sound ok to you?

Hey Guys. Let me start by saying that you are all a wealth of good information. It is just awsome to read the threads on this site. Just Two months ago I bought an 06 Banshee brand spanking new. On the first ride it went hard all day and then died. It kick starts first go and idles like a dream, but as soon as you open the throttle it just boggs hard and stops completley. The first time I cleaned out the carbs and it ran fine again for 3 hours and stopped again. It has done this every time I ride it. Some times I'll come home, kick it over and its fine. Other times it stayes the same and needs attention again. Do you think its the TORS or what ?? Any help would be apreciated. Cheers guys :shoothead:
