How much roughly do those Fireball a-arms run? Any other suggestions?

What about some aftermarket A-arms? Any recommendations?

Hi! I have the 450 shocks on my Banshee and I was in Glamis and had a hard time turning...due to the length of the shock. I was wondering, other than the 450 A-arms, what could I go with that would make the ride better? I ride a lot of trails and a little bit of sand. Thanks! Angie.

I recently put the YZF450 shocks onto my Banshee and the bike totally sits differently due to the length of the shocks. I rode it out in Glamis and it feels like the bike wants to roll and turning is really difficult. What should I do? Thanks! Angie.

I have the following: Stock Carbs & Cable - $100 Front Shocks (white) - $80 Rear Axle Hubs - $50 Air Box - $40 Intake - $20 Reeds - $20 I can ship them to you or you can pick them up at my shop in So. Cal. Thanks! J's Racing 15517 Chatsworth Street Mission Hills, CA 91345 (818) 830-0626 [email protected]

I have a PJ 34 Carb in my Banshee that is used for trail riding at around 3,000 ft. My main is 145 and slow is 55, needle jet is 48 (the clip is on the second groove from the top). Is this right? Seems rich still, bike boggs slightly. Thanks!

So...I changed the carb back to the stock carb and it will idle now. When I try to rev it, it's doing the same thing...making that bogging sound. It seems like it's starving for fuel, but it's not. I had a question with regard to the stator. I have checked all the wiring and that looks fine, although when I check the lighting coil resistance and it was zero. There's no continuity. I also checked the pick-up coil resistance and it was 148 (out of range according to the manual). The charging coil resistance was 18 (which is on spec according to the manual). The flywheel for the stator looks to be okay. There are no cracks and it doesn't look fatigued at all to the naked eye. If I buy a new stator, do I need to also buy a new flyweel? Is the stator what is causing the problems with the Banshee not being able to rev? I tried to test the ignition coil, but my ohm meter does not read RX-1. What is the best way to check to see if the coil is functioning? I also did a spark test and the spark was a little weak. Some more background: I was riding over in Dove Springs (CA) and the Banshee suddendly died. I was trying to gas it and then it started to make the same bogging sound as it is making now. Once I took the motor apart, I found that the right cylinder had seized. So, I ended up changing everything and had the cylinder bored to 65mm. Not sure if this incident (the bogging) is realated, but thought I'd give you guys some more background to work off of.

The plugs are very wet. No black smoke, but a lot of white smoke. any ideas? What bout my compression? Is it good? I've haard from some people that it's low?

I have a Keihin PJ 34mm carb. The adjustment screw is on top of where you pull the choke. Here's what I did: I turned it all the way down and then I backed it out three clicks. I'm not sure what exactly "lock it down" means. One more question: why does it sound like the motor is flooding? Thanks for all the help!!!

This is my first time building the motor for the 'shee. I have a 2001 Banshee and recently put together the motor with the following: +4 hot rods and stock stroke crank from Wiseco, 65mm Wiseco pistons, 34 mm PJ carbs, billet alumnium intake manifold. When I bought the carbs, they came with a pilot jet 55 and the mains 155. The needle jet has a total of five grooves and was set to the middle groove. I've changed it to put it all the way to the top since I wasn't able to idle it...but it still won't. After putting everything back together, the Banshee starts up but will not idle unless I'm holding the throttle in a little. I'm using the stock reeds and I've ordered the V-force reeds. It sounds like it's flooding or bogging. When I try to rev it, it seems as though the carb is trying to suck up a lot of fuel...making a funny choking sound. :sad: I checked the compression and it came out to be 140 across on the stock head at a little above sea level. Any help in diagnosis would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need to know more information.

So, we took it in and here's the verdict. The piston sleeve/cylinder wall was loose on the exhaust side, which caused it to rattle.

Not sure what happened. I'm thinking it leaned out, but why though? We didn't make any adjustments from what the previous owner had. It ran great last weekend.

So, I just bought a used 2001 Banshee last week and now the motor is gone. The pistons broke. Not sure why? Any ideas? I took it out once and it ran great. Checked it up, changed the oil and spark plugs. So sad.

So, bad news...the motor blew up. I've only had it a week! Changed the plugs and the bike wouldn't start up. Pistons broke. Any idea why?

Hi guys, I just bought a used '01 Banshee. I was wondering what I need to check and to replace just because I don't know that much about the history of it. The bike has a few mods: pistons, fatties and an FMF exhaust. I'm new to the whole two-stroke thing, so any advice would be appreciated! Thanks a bunch! :biggrin:
