to convert decimal to fraction simply take the first number divided by the second.. so 3/8 is 3 divided by 8 which equals .375 your 1.375 decimal measurement would lead me to believe you have 35mm carbs (:

Picked up a K&N Air filter, and some carb boots, he also threw in a boost bottle. Kept in contact over a holiday when the post office was closed and kept me informed. Everything arrived just as represented! Will buy from user again

Thanks guys, just picked up some parts from baker, namely things to get the air box and such back to the way it's supposed to be. Everything arrived just as he represented it. As for them being money pits i'm sure its like anything else.. I have a boat and we describe a boat as a fiberglass, wood, or metal hole in the water into which you pour money. A quad could be described as a rolling metal and plastic hole in the dirt into which we pour money

AND Kickstartmyheart Posted Today, 04:17 PM OMG!!!! I just passed out due to the fact it has no filter on it!! Well it has no boots from the air box to the carbs... Thus it could have had an awesome air cleaner on it and still made no difference hehe... Anyhoo i've got got the boots & air cleaner on order from a member... The times I ran it it was wet and nasty out there wasn't any dust flying around... How long has it been run without boots/air filter? No idea.

Okay guys more pictures here. I want to apologize for the images you're about to see here as they're horrific but for those of you whom don't have a weak stomach here you go... This is a top down view looking into the air-box with the seat removed.... There is no lid for this box and the clips that are there indicate that there should in fact be one. As for spacers and plates and such so let me know haha! I apologize for the dirt and nastyness but i do like to ride (: Now for the doozy... I so didn't want to post this picture lol but here goes... This is the side view of the right hand carb... The zip ties are securing a thin bit of rubber wrapped around the throat of the carb going to the air-box.. I know this does no good without a proper air cleaner but the idea was to keep water out of the carbs while I was riding. Which it did despite looking like complete garbage. Theres also what appears to be a port where a hose should possibly be connected right near the center of the carb to the left of the large phillips head screw. NOTE* one other thing i've noticed... there are two plastic things attached to the carbs that have large knobs on top of them (visible from above with the seat removed... They say IDLE ADJ on them... HOWEVER; there are wires coming out of both of these devices and both wires have been cut..... (visible in the carb pic) I promise it cranks second or third kick every time lol and it runs like a champ! It just looks like absolute hell

Perhaps..... I paid $400 for it fixed a loose wire at the coil and it runs runs runs! I don't mind putting some time/money into it really as I don't have a ton invested right now.

Hi guys, new member/owner of a 89-90 banshee. So far i've had quite a bit of fun on this thing spent last weekend riding and playing in the mud.. Anyways i've got some questions / comments after playing around with it and was hoping someone here would be inclined to share some insight or advice! See picture(s) for hopefully clarification on anything I refer to. 1) Tires - the tires that are on this bike don't do well in snow/ice at all.. Spin spin spin, where as my sisters 300ex goes pretty good with its stock tires.. Im pretty sure it's just the tires. Anyways we don't get a ton of snow here in central NC but I would like a tire that is good for trail riding and crossing streams/mud holes. 2) Carbs to Air Box.. There was a gap between where the carbs stop and the air box starts, which I assume there should be something here to make the transition.. For riding purposes since it was muddy I fashioned this out of some rubber material.. There also is no air cleaner inside the box under the seat recommendations on a good one would be appreciated. 3) Plastics - the plastics are white with the frame of the bike red, I think i've decided to paint these as they're not the best looking if you used any specific plastic primers / paints with good success please advise... For no more than I paid for this bike I don't see spending as much to on plastics to replace them. 4) Lighting - I was sad to learn that this being a two stroke doesn't have quite the electrical system some other bikes would have, thus i've looked at the forums and seen people adding a rectifier / battery for dedicated 12 volt accessories. Where did you mount your battery? Would you recommend just going with a battery and charging it if you ride in the dark often? 5) Headers... My headers are attached/suspended with what appears to be a small length of coat hangar wire.. I'm quite sure this isn't a standard yamaha part and probably was held in place via a spring if anyone could provide me with the proper photos of how this is supposed to be attached it would be a big help.. (Note: i've downloaded the electronic manual hopefully it will shed some light here) 6) Idle... It just doesn't idle well, before I go adjusting crap on the carbs are there any pitfalls to be aware of? should I wait until I get a proper air-cleaner to start dicking around with the idle ? The bike has some other small issues namely bolts missing where the plastics attach to the frame @ the tank, and a missing gear clamp / where the header attaches to the exhaust pipe but those are easily fixed it's also missing the plastic the covers the radiator, which should be here today hopefully.. All in all the shee starts easily and runs great gives me a nice kick in the butt when I crank the throttle wide open through all the gears. *playing around in some puddles after a day or two of heavy rain *washdown after playing in the mud a little *note the tires!. Arrow #1 -- What is this cover called? It appears to cover the water pump.... I haven't really found one in a couple searches online because I didn't know what it's proper name was... Arrow #2 -- This is the area where the gap between the carb & air box is... Is there a part that connects these two items? If so what's it called? Arrow #3 -- Exhaust hangar/spring etc.. The exhaust here is secured using coat hangar wire... What is SUPPOSED to be there? Arrow #4 -- Tires.. Not particuarlly aggressive I drift and slide through corners riding trails the back tires break loose frequently and start spinning.
