WantABanshee

Jeff the carb bowls ended up being on the right carb it starts much much much better hot... as soon as it cools down i'm screwed

I don't have any chain rollers on my banshee.... Do you guys recommend running them?

sounds like a jetting issue to me pull the banshee slowly in 3rd gear to get it going

as stated above it runs, idles great! The DAMN thing still does not like to start!!!!!!!!!! I don't get it Am I doing something wrong?

NO i did not disconnect the control box!!!!!! Sounds like it could be my problem Jeff I will check the bowls too... Most likely they are mixed up as well Also Jeff thanks for all the parts my man!! They all fit great!! Jeff were still having trouble getting my cousin's Keihn carbs idling still Merry Christmas everyone!

I just completley rebuilt my banshee.. (bought it in pieces) It is the first banshee I have ever owned. After fixing and having the slides in on the wrong carbs this thing RIPS!!!! It runs great everywhere. However, it hates to start and sometimes when i kick it and it doesn't start it backfires. It also will not idle. I have a 290 main jet in it with a BRAND NEW 27.5 pilot. I tried to lean out the pilot thinking that its trying to flood itself when it doesn't start so I would turn the air screw to 2 turns out and it just did not run good at all. Right now I have the air screw 1.5 turns out and it runs great just does not like to start or idle. Please help me out guys.

^ please explain the heated knife?

we used the propane torch today and it made it much less noticeable!! Still can tell its there... is that as good as it gets or do we need to do it multiple times letting it cool down??

make offer guys need money for christmas

you can find any damn thing out on this website!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks guys I'm pumped to give it a try... Do the marks go away instantly with the heat or does it have to cool first? Just not wanting to melt

Seems like every blue set of plastics have them. Is there anything you can do to fix this?

looking good man.. I enjoyed the post glad you got rid of the raptor plastics.. Its soo weird seeing a banshee with fenders though

ttt i dont want this to happen to me. what happen?

that's what i was thinking. I'm glad i did not install them

I've got reed spacers laying in the garage and haven't decided if I wanna put them on yet. Do they do any good? Anything noticeable?

i bought it in pieces so there is a really good chance that they slides were mixed up in the carbs... How would I tell?

I bought this banshee in pieces and rebuilt it completley. New crank bearings, new pistons, new bore everything. Got it together finally today and rode it for just a few minutes do to having some sprocket problems. In neutral it free rev'd really nice but would not idle. I would get into it and it would bog and never really come out of it. I know its a jetting problem. I have the stock pilot, 280 mains and the clip on the 3rd notch on the needle. I'm in Ohio around 900ft. My mods are Toomey T3 pipes and silencers Boyseen reeds stock airbox w a Huge Proflow filter and NO LID Any tips this is my first banshee and am a jetting noob

that thing is sick man so its a yfz frame with a banshee motor?

ok thanks guys whats the name of that really nice case saver guys?

make sure you don't ride in any water or pods are not a good setup

center of the swingarm???

you can find everything in the bottom end for 100 bucks except the cases. When I went looking for a banshee i could fix up and rebuild i looked for two things.... Frame was straight and the Cases weren't chain whipped or damaged.

I've heard Banshee's are hard on chains and I'm getting ready to start mine up for the first time (been rebuilding it). The manual says if it exceeds 1.6in of slack to tighten but it doesn't specify where to measure from? Also I remember someone talking about the best case saver and can't remember the name of it. Thanks guys

still lookin for a good deal
