thers a guy on ebay and i believe he is a member here but his ebay store name is motor city atv he has a ton of parts and prices arent that bad

ok lets try the 1 thing no one has suggested yet take the seat off and look between the carbs and see if there is a small (like fuel line) sized hose going from 1 carb to the other not to be confused for the actual fuel line if its not that may be your problem becouse the jacka$$ that had it was so stupid he may have pulled it off for some reason. also its not hard to clean carbs get a manual or ask a friend im sure you dont ride by yourself im sure someone you know has some kind experience with it or just spend the money and take it to the dealer becouse banshees are to exspensive and complicatedd to get blown up becouse someone wants to be cheap or just say no thats not it everyone is trying to help to the best they can and im sure that some of the best banshee people are right here and have given you there suggestions its a trial and errror thing and if your not willing to try you may as well give up and get a blaster back or buy a 4stroke becouse these things are the best but also the best at being a pain in the ass also. also my banshee makes almost the same noise becouse the snorkel is off that is the sound of 2 carbs sucking in alot of air to feed a hungry beast you can put your hand over the inlet to the air box and hit the gas and feel it pull your skin so maybe thats what your problem is or maybe the jacka$$ that had it chnged the jets or needle and leaned it out already you will never know till you dig into it so roll up ya sleeves and get dirty it aint gona do it itself

well mine did kinda the same thing and i checked it over and over again even used carb cleaner lookin for the air leak and finaly one day was just discusted with it and sat on the ground while it was ideling and it caught my eye as the motor shook and rattled around like they do i seen that the intake boot was riped on the bottom but u could only see it if the carbs were pushed up becouse the weight of the carbs and airbox would keep the boot pushed down till the rattlen caused the carbs to move down and opened up the crack and it would suck air so u may wana check that also if it has a boost bottle check the lil plugs it slides into

unless u are riding on gravel or dirt roads i wouldnt run 18s any kinda ruff trail or deep rut or even worse big mud hole is gonna kill ya fun time. its not very fun always haven to yank the rearend off a big rut or outta deep mudhole i run 20s but sometimes wish i ran 22s becouse the utility atvs around here have killed the trails hope this helps

well of course a yamaha gasket is good but pricey also i had good luck with cometic on an old 250r i had and suprisegly the last one i put on my banshee was the only one in town and its a namura it seems to be doig good but on gaskets id ask an engine builder like FAST or any outher site sponsor they have built thousands of motors im sure they have more experince in the long term results

i went through the same thing a while back after askin on here and a few other people this is the suggestions that worked for me thanks HQ 1. torque the head in 3 or 4 steps and after u reach final tourqe go back around and test to see if any backed off a lil 2. fill radiator with coolant and only put the cap on to the first click so the pressure can get out if need be just to let it burb the air bubble out shouldnt take but a minute or so 3. start and let it run till it warms up shut it off let it cool and retourque the head 4. take it for a ride 20 30 minutes or so turn it off and cool and retourque the head again 5. go out and BEAT THE CRAP OUTTA IT LIKE BANSHEE"S LOVE LOL thats what worked for me i also got some bad tips ranging from coat the head gasket with indian head gasket sealer or spray on copper seal doesnt work and makes a big mess for u when u gotta replace the dang thing again LOL also u gotta make sure u have it the right way up most gaskets have it marked and use good quality gaskets GOOD LUCK

just go look at the 2 forsale and pick the best one and fix what ever may be wrong with it and deffenetly dont pay 3300 for it thats his asking price u gotta talk him down a little. and unless he has just rode the crap out of them i doubt if u have to do a bottom and topend rebuild at the most it will be a topend basicly if u can start and ride it the bottom end is most likely good to go till u leave for school. if u buy a new banshee u may get by with just lubing the chain and stuff like that but that all depends on how hard u ride it and how well u maintain it u could get by with just the lil stuff.

yeah i have razr 2's on my 400ex and it seemed like that thing could go through anything with ease till they got bout half tread and then they would still hook good but wore very fast i got gncc's on my banshee and love them too but it just seemed like the razrs cleaned out easyer looks like i may have to take a trip to bowling green LOL im just outside fort knox in a small town by the drag strip maybe this summer we could meet up somewere for a ride like royal atv trails or somethin so what did u all do just stop in one day or did u know someone there that let you in man id love to meet bill ballance just to see if he is a regular guy or like most other famous people a stuck up a$$ LOL actualy i need some new back tires now i was thinkin bout tryin out some called slingshots cus they kinda cheap till this spring and get some new razr2's but dont know may just run bolagna skins on da back till spring lol

just checked the clymer and it says 20 to 22mm toomey says 21mm so its your choice

it could be when u hit the water it splashes up onto the tors wires and crosses the circut activating the tors system till the water droplet dries up away from the two wires then it starts running better cuz the circuit is no longer compleated and the tors system is no longer activated

hold up how do u get that lucky to just pull up to bill ballance's shop and load up free tires and get hardly used tires for 20 bucks u must have some major conections or something huh lol can u hook da rest of us up lol by the way what part of ky u live im in the good ol bluegrass too

you also have to keep kickin it till the needle doesnt move any more its about 10 times usually
