When it goes "dead", is the push rod lever (the attachment on the other end of the clutch cable) still engaged??

yea thats off of toomey's web site. I think the boost bottle is a waste of money...time....space...and everything else. toomey makes it sound nice and convincing here lol.

The is an anomaly in the intake tract of the Banshee. What we think we have discovered is, because there is a sonic wave at work in any confined space, (like the exhaust pipe or intake tubes) this wave must be timed to help you with that which you are trying to accomplish, as with the exhaust pipe. There will be some rpm range where the wave will be most out of phase, and an area where it will be most in phase, hopefully we can arrange the in-phase part while the pipe is having its in-phase part....! That is why you feel the big burst of power when the pipe kicks in, because these waves are working in harmony. On the Banshee the most out-of-phase area is right before it synchronizes with the pipe.... so 4000 to 5000 rpm, then at 6000 it starts harmonizing it's pumping action and you feel the pull in the handlebars! What is happening actually is that this wave is being reflected back and forth inside the intake tube (tract) regardless of the fact that the air is only moving in one direction, the wave, which has little if any mass, can travel in both directions and does... Each time it does, it passes the needle jet and when it does, it pulls fuel. When this happens there might be a piston stroke with several helpings of fuel instead of just one, therefore it is rich. The intake tract is too short, and this is one reason why it is a bad idea to put the little K&N filters on the back of each carb, effectively shortening the intake tract even more. It is also a GOOD reason to use our 2:1 filter system because we add about 3 or more inches to the length of the intake tract, helping to lengthen the time it takes for this wave to propagate from one end to the other, and to keep the resultant mixture confined so it may be used and not spit back into a filter.... Because this is an RPM specific phenomena, it cannot be "jetted out" because conditions change in response to RPM, not throttle position. If it was at a particular throttle setting, then we could easily say, that at this setting, certain circuits are active and make adjustments accordingly, but it is not. Raise the rpm a little and it goes away. This is one of the reasons Yamaha chose to put the "cross-over" tube between the intake manifolds. This makes one intake tube think it is larger than it really is (as far as sound propagation goes) therefore lowering the frequency of the sound wave, dampening the effects. You can try this experiment yourself, just remove the crossover tube and be sure to plug up the holes in the intake manifolds from which the tube came, then ride it. You will see the difference! This is also where the "Boost Bottle" argument comes in.... Yes, there must be the cross-over tube, but the engine couldn't care less how big it is.... this tube is used to communicate the volume information from side to side, not to magically "store-and-forward" mixture for later use, as some have alleged. Nor is it able (as far as we can detect) to allow mixture to be drawn from both carbs at once..... So the "Boost Bottle" as a performance product is a complete placebo and only serves the manufacturer's pocket, not the customer's needs. Beware of companies who sell this kind of thing, they are not being true. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is....

it sounds like your adjuster (inside the clutch case) is out of wack. Check out this link, its for a "toomey" clutch but at the bottem the adjustment procedure will be the same. http://www.powerbrokerz.com/docs/bansheeclutchkit.pdf

NEW PRICE!!!!!!!!! $1800 cash takes it home. I want this thing gone guys.

Theres a guy on here ( I think his name is RIPPEN) wth a red and black scheme. Plastics are all gloss red with a black strip right down the center. Sickest looking banshee on this site in my opinion.

I'm about to start the process on my newest shee too. Not sure to paint it or just refinish it. Has anyone had any luck refinishing?

I'm about halfway between detroit and flint too..China Twp (port huron area). Know of any good riding spots?

Im gonna have to go with..haloween costume. notice the wig and glasses on the chair behind him. Classic halloween move. Damn I should become a detective

I have an 03 i want $2000 for. Scroll down the for sale posts and you'll see it listed as 2003 Banshee. Let me know if you need any more info.

NICE!!!!! I'll be there. About time we have a new place to ride in S.E. Michigan.

I have a 2003 Yamaha Banshee for sale. The machine is in great condition and runs perfect. I just went through everything with a fine tooth comb and had the carbs perfectly sync'd. This machine also has a few aftermarket parts. --K&N air filter --Boost Bottle --Durablue axle --Toomey Clutch --Direct Drive Lockout with pancake bearing --Toomey T-3 Pipes and Silencers --Vito's Pistons --Douglas aluminum wheels I am the third owner of this Banshee and took care of it with pride. Like I said above, the machine runs great. The plastics do have a few scratches but you don't buy a banshee because it's pretty. Everything is perfect and ready for the trails this weekend (even have an ORV pass good all year). I do NOT have the title for this machine (ran the VIN and all is clean). I will however provide a full BILL OF SALE including my Name, Address, Phone number, and Drivers Lisence number. Please contact me to come and take it for a test ride. Email me or call me at (810) 908-3315, if I don't answer please leave a message and I will call you right back. I want $2000. Price is firm. ---Located in S.E. Michigan

Hey guys. Looking to buy another SHEE but it has no title. Is there a way to check the VIN to see if its stolen? I'm in michigan (don't worry its not the last post before mine lol). Anyone have experience with this? Thanks.

Make sure your pressure plate is on the correct way by lining up the arows. Then use the adjuster screw.

Hahaha problem solved... I was actually thinking about getting the shed ported over the winter. What do you charge??

I think all the motors are the same from 86-89. Shouldnt matter what year it is, they only made them for 4 years.

Hey guys, I have a Direct Drive lock-up on my clutch and i'm not sure I need it. I only have a few mods..Toomey pipes, K&N pods, and Boyeson reeds. Is the lock-up a bit overkill? I know they are adjustable but all I do is spin when i get on the throttle (doesnt matter what gear). I mainly ride hard-loose gravel roads and dirt trails with the occasional dune trip. Should I leave it on and fine tune it, or take it off ll together? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

LOL sorry. Not to take any business away from the sponsers here but Vito's just happens to be right down the street from my house. The Vito's one is made by cascade and DOES have the allen head, I just installed mine last week.

Vito's has the pancake bearing for $34.99. Cheapest I found when I was looking.

I am thinking about doing the same thing. I have a K&N oval filter right now with the stock airbox with the lid drilled out. Would I have to change jetting as well? Also, how do the pods hold up to the occasional puddle or rain. I try to stay out of the mud but it does happen sometimes.

wow! i thought it was a lot more work than that. We'll see how adventurous we are feeling and decide if we want to take the challenge. Any special tools I need before we get stared?

Hey just curious about how much money it costs to split your case? A friend wants to add a new crank. How much have you guys paid in the past? Thanks.
