old roost

Thanks i will check into them.....do you know our bolt pattern?

It is for the full set of 4 brand new. Very nice polished 5 spoke alum. Didn try to get into the deep mud LOL. It didnt look to bad until i tried to ride the ruts and the Texs Soup just sucked me right down into the crap LOL. I will check the link you sent thanks for that.

Well, took the Banshe out this past weekend for the big test. Shee ran absolutely perfect all day (5-6 hours) besides stopping to shoot the sh#t with other riders. The only issue that ended the day was an exhaust hanger broke and ended the day. Shee never stalled once except when the wife dumped the clutch with no throttle but other than that i am HOOKED. Now my question, the area we were riding is a mixture of terrain hard dirt / sand / and very very deep mud ( i actually got very stuck in the mud) I have to get new tires what is the best all around terrain tire for these areas i will be in and what is the banshee's rim bolt pattern??? i found a great deal locally for brand new take off rims and tires for 300 but they are from a polaris pattern is 4x 156.? Let me know because i do not want to loose this deal if they will fit.

yeah carb are the way they should be, yes the connecting tube is there. |How would i do a plug chop?

Ok so I have a new rebuild .60 over stock head stock pipes, v force reeds, boost bottle. Here is the problem; it took me forever to get the carbs right ( idle) now the only way to start it is to use a little spray of eather. After that Shee will start and run perfect all day as long if dont let it sit and cool down. While it is running power is all there hits power band when it should,(i am 190 lbs and the front end wants to come up in 1 2 3 gear) and no dead spots or sputtering through the entire RPM range. My choke plunger will not work at all; could this be the issue? I am stumpped. I am supposed to go for the maiden voyage ride next weekend and do not want to have to carry a can of spray with me the whole time. or worse yet have to get towed out by a |Kawasaki LOL. Thanks guys. Oh stock carbs and k-n filters, I am also at sea level.

Ok quick question, is it possible......or has anyone had the problem of the tors system affecting only one carb???? I have spark on right side brand new build with about an hour of heat cycles and a burn up and down the street then it stopped running on right cycl. if i spray a little bit of either in it will run on both??????compression is good on both sides. carbs taken apart and cleaned perfectly. The only thing i can think of is the tors, or my throtle adjustment? Any feed back would be great.

that is what i was thinking........any ideas on the carb? it has got to be the jet because worked with spray guees i will rip it apart friday night. as always thanks guys

for what puttin a stroke in a banshee? if so you can do anything with money and time..... i ahve seen a few videos of Honda cbr motors in banshee's i also saw one of a suzuki hyubusa in banshee.....just time and money

Yeah Hang on LOL.....just kidding. If you have never ridden a 2 stroke the power band could take you for a surprise!!!!! I dont know if you know about the differance of 2 and 4 strokes but if the largest you have ridden is a honda 90....be carful your first time out until you get used to the banshee. I am also new to the banshee but i have had a have ridden plenty of other 2 strokes. The easiest way to describe a 2 stroke powerband is that it is kinda like a turbo on a car not much down low but when you get into mid to upper rpm's ( the power band)the power kicks in all at once. Good luck! and have fun

Any Ideas?

Ok guys here is my problem....... basically a new motor, fired right up after sitting for 2 weekes after i did the intial heat cycles and slow ride down the street. seemed to run ok. let it warm up pulled in clutch went to put in gear and POP. stalled out WTF..... put in neutral and it satarted right up. Now the clutch lever just flops around. The cable itself is ok and the arm and spring on top of the motor are ok. i let it cool down stated it up and cletch seemed fine drove it down the streetpulled front off the grond in 1 2 and 3. lthen it went loose again. I have not pulled the cover yet kinda afarid to any ideas of what to expect when i pull it off...... i am kinda thinking the rod lock bolt came loose. also after trying to get the carbs 100% synced i noticed it started running on only the left carb. yes the right side has full spark...... when running i shot the right filter with a little either and ran on both cylinders!!!!! i suspect the right carb has a clogged jet has any one had this issue. and does any on e have a single carb set up for sale????????? I HATE DUAL CARBS thanks

Ok guys, i am new to the banshee esp the twin carb. When i finished the assembly. It started on the second kick ( on complete rebuild )The weather here in texas has been a little cool. and damp the last few days. Shee has been very hard to start.... ( choke knob will not stay out ) anyway if i spray just a little either with top end lube on the K&N,s it will fire right up. Then after that it will start all day long on the first kick. It is just the initial start up after it has been sitting and cold. Is this a fuel/carb issue or maybe choke issue.

sorry man,from your post looked like you were asking the kind of head in your pic lol it is a pro design cool head with 22cc domes. good shape just needs a good polish.

???? your asking me? looks like one piece from the pictures......mine is a 2 piece.

I will try to send pictures when i get home tonight. thanks

sorry no pipes, i had the left pipe t-5 perfect shape i had posted a while back if anyone wanted it for free just shipping no replies so i chucked it. right pipe had a very bad dent..... i think 75 is to low domes are 50-60+ new and these are like new.

Hey guys i have a cool head with 22cc domes that came off the banshee ( i went back to stock head and pipes) pm me if interested with reasonable offer and i will e-mail you pics

hmmm droppingit LOL. I already did that. How about opening the nips and let it gravity drain?maybe put a balloon over the res and push it to help the fluid move? Like you said the vacume pump is only $20 but that is $20 more towards the banshee futur fund LOL

Nah not really Just wated to test clutch and trans( put under a load). Didnt go obove 20mph.

Well guys after waiting for parts, and a couple long weekends, The Banshee is running!!!!!! Finished all electrics yesterday added fuel oil coolant etc. Stated on second kick......I was amazed. Performed about 10 heat cycles then took for a slow ride up and down the street, didnt go above 3rd gear (no plastics seat oh and no brakes yet LOL)I was really amazed how smooth and well it ran after basicaly a total rebuild. I still need to get the idle set up when it comes down to idle it will want to die if i just feather the throttle slightly it run perfect. Now i am having an issue bleeding the front brakes it is taking FOREVER any advise on that would be great. I have to figure out how to post a video of it running.

x 10 for kanoodle for the time he took for the great right up!!!!!.........

valin are you sure? you may be right... I know i saw it some where it was a list of thread size torque and next to that how many ex. 8- 15mm 1.25 x4 I will check when i get home. I kind of compiled all kinds of info about the banshee in a binder for referances..... being this is my first one.

Hey guys, i am almost 100% sure the service manual that you can down load off this forum gives a complete Bolt list. If anyone needs help I found a nut and bolt shop near my job in houston tx that has everything you can think of......... youu just have to tell them what you need. I picked up 10 new grade 8 head studs yesterday and saved about 50 bucks ( from yamaha dealer) I only paid $5 for all 10. So if any one needs something, i would be more than happy to run there on lunch break. Just give me notice.
