Hey guys, I'm new here. I'm from Appleton, Wisconsin. I just bought a Banshee. I had the bright idea today to get a toy, so I set out to buy a KX125 dirt bike and on my way, I just happened to find a Banshee sitting on the side of the road. I thought, well hell, why not check it out.
It's a 2004. I ended up getting it for $1500. I thought there was no way i could pass this up. But, hold on, there is a catch. It does not run well, if at all.
Heres the deal. The guy said he bought a twist grip throttle and tried to install it himself. He never got the throttle to work properly, so instead of paying for some help, he decided to deal without it. He installed the thumb throttle again. He said every since it has not ran properly.
It will start, pretty easily. It doesnt idle very well, unless you hold the throttle down a tad. Once you give it a gas it just dies. I also notice that if you push in on the medal "park" switch it will run a little better, but not much. It still will not run for longer than a minute.
Any ideas as to where to start?
Thanks guys.
