[Can’t launch in second]

My lightened flywheel split and caused me a days ride. Never again. Now if there was an added weight version, id try it to maybe tame down the power and gain a little traction.

[Motor blew up next build ideas]

Id do regular stamped pies and put the money toward suspension and tires. If you already have that, then save the money. I would get with driveline if that's the cylinders you want. They can tell you which carbs and pipes will best suit you.

Super nice machine, always liked this bike! More pics of it.


Sounds “louded up” run it. Set pickup gap with business card?

thank you. I used and always use a feeler gauge.

Max file size for attachments is 100kb so I cant upload pictures. It looks the same besides I fixed the stripped gas tank screws last weekend which really isnt noticeable with the seat on.

[Will not kick start]

May be a long shot, but make sure the cross over tube is there if it's stock carbs.

[not responding well to idle adjustments]

The flywheel cracked so I replaced that with an oem flywheel, fixed the crank, set pickup gap etc. I don't remember if this was an issue before that.

 

edit 8\12\23: Dropped the pilots from 55 to 52. The idle did not drop nearly as much. I still need to adjust the air screws. I guess rich pilots were the issue. It also passed a leakdown test before i changed the pilots.

[not responding well to idle adjustments]

I'm having issues setting my idle correctly. The idle drops too low once it warms up.

I put the dynatek ecu I had lying around to see if it's an ecu issue. I also cleaned the carbs, made sure pilots and mains were clean as well. I put new spark plugs too.

I screwed in the air screw a half turn at a time and no change. I also am able to screw in the idle screws in and it barely makes a difference. I can screw in the shifter side idle screw all the way and the bike barely idles higher to around 1250ish. Very strange. I don't think this is the ecu. The bike does have a slight bog off idle. Other than that, she runs nice and crispy. The issue has to be me and i'm over looking something simple.
 

[New build advice]

My stock swing arm always worked fine and was easy to adjust. I run a yfz450 front master and raptor 700 front calipers. They do not look like stock banshee brake components but in a way look OEM. You could get some fox or elka shocks and have them power coated to match the stock shock's colors.

Twice I went with a turbo chassis swing arm due to no logos or fancy stuff on it. It does not look stock or close to it.

[DC vs Ac on a banshee]

I kept blowing leds when the bike reved on a stock system. I now have a DC conversion with no battery and it's been fine.

[Should I loctite slingshot lock up screws?]

I never did and I never had issues. I take my modified stock clutch cover off and it's easy to get to. I just added some weight last weekend.

I don't even know if you can take the pressure plate off a sling shot with a lockout cover.

[Favorite games]

PUBG on pc. Until I get tired of that, there's no point in buying other games since I always go back.

 If you are thinking about trying it, dont. The average skill level is insanely high and you will die, a lot.

[Banshee Clutch adjustment not lining up]

Id attach a picture of mine so someone can see if I have a spacer but the max file size is far too small. I'm not sure if mine does.

[Banshee Clutch adjustment not lining up]

I posted a video in your hq facebook thread. If that's how yours is adjusted, then get a oem clutch cable and clutch lever. Then you'll see what the issue is.

I have an ASV lever, motion pro cable and a lock up. I'm not sure how the manual says to adjust it. Mine works fine.

(FYI: Base off of what some responses were over time in the FB group, some "off brands" pancake bearings wont allow the clutch to be properly adjusted. But if you bought something from a supporting vendor, you should be fine.)

[Finally established a trust]

I finally got tired of the stupid brace on my Mossberg Shockwave. I went establish a trust about a month ago. I should be getting the tax stamp within a week or two then i have a Magpul stock ill throw on to see how i like it. Pictures to come when that day comes.

[Elka long travel shock length]

non LT are 14 5/8". fireball says 18 1/2 - 19 1/4 for their long travel. Source (page 10 and 11): 

 

[Brand new sniper pipe dented need help]

I was coming ask why wouldnt gary fix this. There we go.

[Banshee vs raptor - expectations]

Depends if the 4mil hooks, how much power it's making and if you can ride. I got my ass handed to me by a lot of stuff when i have 4mil stock cylinders due to spinning.

[Striped the threads for the bowl cover]

^ From a supporting vendor since there's so many knock off's....

I have 17,40 and I’m about to put 15,40 will I lose a lot of my top speed?

If your engine was able to top out with 17/40, then yes.

You can use this calculator. You can look at the dyno section to find a combo close to yours to see how much rpm yours pulls.

[New Engine ran well and now is un-driveable]

Many years ago, my yz250 would only run well on choke. The pilot jet had a tiny rock or whatever in it.

[Mild rebuild repair 2002 Yamaha banshee]

Take the fancy air breather off the gas cap line too. Those can get stuck and starve the tank for air which starves the carbs for fuel. Just a run a regular open line.

[Shifting issues]

Ceramic ball or pancake bearing on clutch pusher or both?

 I refuse to run a ceramic because they can shatter. I dont understand the point of risking ceramic shattering when pancake bearings w/ OEM steel balls work fine.

Took the shee for a rip this morning. Coming out of a corner in either 3rd or 4th cant remember. Got on the pipe went to grab the next gear hit for a second then went into neutral. No grinding or banging, pulled clutch down shifted and went through the gears no issue. Never had that happen before short shift possibly? Stock trans with easy springs and shift star and shift shaft modded from fast

What helped me dramatically was lowering the shifter one spline.

[Timing]

The pick up is connected to the stator. Rotating it moves the location of the pick up. So the moment the flywheel magnet passes by the pick up is advanced or retarded. I am also nearly positive my terminology isn't correct.

[Polished Dogbone]

Mine has two grease zerks but i put grease were it's metal to metal. and id pack bearings if it isnt sealed.

[421 cub cylinders replate??]

13 hours ago, mike0chek said:

 

Hey guys, tore my cub down to install a pro mod tranny and noticed a couple spots on the cylinders. Do these need replating? Had 137-139psi compression right before I took it apart with pump gas domes (24cc) second set of wiseco pistons had some minor scuffing on them so I'm replacing them for sure. Otherwise the bike was running strong, just had shifting issues.

Off topic but what shifting issues did you have?

 

Also please report back once the pro mod is in. I went from an override to pro mod so i dont know how much better a pro mod is over stock.

Lock out clutch cover. I dont have a lock out, i want easy access to the clutch

I have a lock up clutch but with a stock cover. Very good idea to get the cover. It's so much easier. Plus they look cool. I want to get one as well as the stator cover with bearing support. I been putting it off for lets see, 10+ years now.

Tyler Faith in the bansheehq fb group wrote a lot of long post about proper suspension set up. You could always check this post for info.
