Are you sure that they used to be Turf TAMERS and not Turf SAVERS? Skat Trak used to use lawnmower tires for casings. To me this is unacceptable because lawnmower tires are not made to handle the speed of a Banshee.

I don't know about NY, but in Oregon you are not required to have insurance for off road use, but you are liable for all damages cause by you on your ATV. ALL on road vehicles are required to have insurance.If you do have insurance on your ATV, it probably won't cover you on the road because you are operating your ATV illegally, just like insurance won't cover your car when you are street racing. As for not having a license, do you have a properly endorsed one? In Oregon there is no ATV endorsement, just a motorcycle one, there is an off road operators permit good for off road use only, so you weren't properly licensed. You admitted it to the cop so you are guilty of hittig the car and leaving the scene of an accident.If I was the car owner, I would give you a very short deadline to pay for the damages and then if you don't pay I would turn it over to my insurance company so my ride gets fixed and let them sue you for the money. That's if I was in a good mood, if I got ANY attitude from you, which I sense you have, I would just contact my insurance company and let them get the money out of you while I am going to your court appearance to make sure the judge knows all the facts and hangs you. You are a real piece of work to have an accident, flee the scene, deny it to the cops,then admit it to the cops, and then when ticketed, say you are pleading not guilty and think it will get thrown out of court. Because of people like you, ATV riders get a bad reputation. I would love for you to go to court and get your Banshee taken away, that is what the car owner should do, slap a lien on your ATV and/ or impound it.

You need to check your shift shaft, it sounds like the claw on the end of it has gottten wore out and is too sloppy to properly engage the shift star.

Go with the stock one. Motion Pro cables sometimes are not the right length. I replace my stocker every 3 years and that way I always have a useable cable to carry as a spare, although I have never broke a stock cable.

If you want the exact factory ones, go to a Yamaha dealer, or an OEM parts website. But, you might be able to find some 6mm J nuts at a GOOD hardware store.

If you need to replace it, make sure you get a flange nut so it spreads the load out on the flywheel properly.

Go to Honda and get one for a TRX250R, they use the same rear brake caliper. If you look up brake pads from an aftermarket vendor you will see they take the same pad. I believe it is Honda number 45133-166-016, but I am not positive about that. They used to be only a couple of bucks apiece.

X2, that is exactly why it is there, it is left over from when the cases were used on the RZ.

Yes, you can fuck it up big time, like sieze it or melt a piston, etc. A melted piston could lead to even bigger damage, like a crank. My wife's bone stock 96 with a 2 into 1 AIR FILTER by Toomey with a K&N element, and FMF Fatty's with Cascade silencers ran a 290 main, 27.5 pilot and clip in the middle, and was jetted perfect.

Talk to Cascade, I bet the problem is on their end of the package. Toomey's are mass produced from stampings and every pipe should be to spec. The Cascade stingers are made one at a time and are more likely for something to be off.

If the locknut is properly tightened you won't need the loctite, I have never used it on idle screws on three different Banshees in over 20 years. Also, the instructions are awesome except that he did not mention that on the right side carb, the one WITHOUT the choke, you need to drill the hole on the outside of the carb, opposite side of the fuel inlet.

Those won't work. A stock stator won't run 50 watt lights, the limit for a stock stator is 2 35 watt headlights plus the taillight. Also to run HIDs on a Banshee requires a DC conversion- floating the ground and adding a rectifier/regulator in place of the stock regulator. Also, where can you get a HID light for $20?

Since it has a twist, has the TORS been eliminated? Depending on if the TORS was eliminated, you may need a stock cable or you may need the cable from a TORS elimination kit for the thumb throttle. Are your carb tops just a round screw on cap or do the have an odd shaped box that the cable goes into? If it is a round cap, then the TORS has been eliminated.

The Ultra Flow impeller is wider than the stock replacement impeller and HAS to use the cover that comes with it to have enough clearance to operate. That is why it is sold as a kit.

If you are buying the Ultra Flow, you will need the entire kit because it will not fit under the stock type plate. If you go with the stock replacement billet impeller, it will fit under the stock plate or a plate from ProDesign or Modquad or some of the others.

CheapCycleParts.com or RideNow Powersports. I would only use a genuine Yamaha stator. I would(and have) buy a used Yamaha staor before I would buy a new aftermarket one. If you insist on an aftermarket one, look at Moose or Electrosport, I believe Electrosport is the supplier to Moose and some guys have had ggod luck with Moose.

Did you get the float bowls back on the correct carbs? They are different.

If you have the factory service manual, it will give a tooth count of every gear in the exploded tranny diagram. I don't know about a clymers manual as I don't use one. Or go to cheapcycleparts.com, go to the OEM parts section, input your info, go to the transmission picture and the bill of materials will have the tooth count of each gear.

All of the above are good, there is also Apache Motorcycle and Ridenow Powersports. Also, your local dealer may not have them in stock but can still get them from Yamaha. Hell my local deale did not stock much for the Banshee when it was still in production and he was the largest dealer in the Portland Metro area.

By reputation, I would go with Stellar, but there is also Dave Moore Racing.

Yea, but if you use the 90 weight you will be worried about the not shifting AND the slipping clutch. I would pop the clutch cover off and look at the shift mechanism to see if anything is loose or has come off. Also, check the adjustment of the shift shaft eccentric, and make sure the hooks on the shift shaft aren't sloppy, they should be centered over the pins on the shift star.

Pretty much, it has to do with the ancient design of the Banshee transmission and shift mechanism. Make sure that your clutch is properly adjusted, both at the pressure plate and at the lever, and run a good oil. Some people claim that grinding the shift star will help, but I have had a ground star in mine for over 17 years and I have a hard time finding nuetral. But I don't really need to find nuetral when it is running because I don't let my bikes sit and idle except when I am first warming it up. If I am stopping I shut my bike off, either because I want to talk to someone or because I don't want it to roll off, no parking brake.

Most manuals are wrong on how to test a Banshee coil, most manuals say to check from one plug wire to ground. That is correct for a single cylinder coil or a coil used with a distributor. Banshee coils need to be checked from one plug wire to the other plug wire. If your white/red and white/green wires don't give you a reading, then your pickup coil is bad. When you install the new one it needs to be gapped to .017" or the thickness of a business card, to the nubs on the flywheel. Check it on both nubs to be sure there is not a runout problem. If you decide to buy a new stator, DO NOT buy one from Ricky Stator or RM Stator- they are junk and some are even bad brand new out of the box. I would buy a good used Yamaha stator before I bought a new aftermarket stator.

I bet the cast cases will break before the stamped steel bearing retainer.

Rod length WON'T tell you a thing, they do make long rod stock stroke cranks and they do make stock rod 4 mil cranks. So that is not a reliable way of telling. You should be able to compare a known stocker to what you have if it is out of the cases and tell. Iff you dont want to split the cases to find out, you are going to have to put some pistons on the rods and put the pistons over them and measure the stroke the old fashioned way. They dont have to be the right pistons for a 4 mil, the just have to fit in the cylinders so you can measure at TDC and BDC and do the math.
