I am not sure on the hours. I have put about 15 hours since I got it and the guy I got it from said that it was a fresh rebuild but he has proven to be a lying s.o.b. about some other stuff so theres no telling.

I have been running the same jets for a while with no issues. I let it warm up idleing and then rode it easy for a while and never really even ripped on it at all today. I went out to the shop after I posted earlier and noticed a small puddle of coolant but could not tell exactly where it came from. Would that have anything to do with it? And also, it was not sputtering until right before it locked up. I mean about 10 seconds give or take, other than that, it appeared to be running fine, but like I said, I never got on it. Was just cruising in 4th or 5th when it all started going to shit.

Unloaded it and rode about 2 or 3 miles and it was running fine. About a half mile after that it started spitting and sputtering and then locked up. Got it towed back to camp and then tried to kick it and it wont budge. It had plenty of coolant and the gas was mixed at 40:1 with H1R synthetic. So my main questions are.......what would have caused this and about how much $$ am I looking at to rebuild this thing. I know its hard to estimate since I havent torn it apart yet, but some estimates would be good enough to see if I even want to mess with it. Thanks

Stuff was packaged good and shipped very fast. Thanks for a pleasant transaction Tony.

The 17's are the smallest that will fit. They only clear the caliper by a 8thof an inch or so. The aftermarket 17's I put on my megacab were even a little closer than the stock.

Was riding today and the part of the cable that goes from 2 into 1 fell on top of the head and melted just enough to sieze the cable a little bit. After everything cooled down I tried to turn the throttle and it was stuck and the damn cable broke inside the housing next to the grip. So my question is: can I just buy a new cable and hook everything back up the way it was? I am not sure what brand of twist throttle I have since it was on there when I got the bike. Here's a picture of the top of the housing and a link to the cable that I found that looks like the one that is on there. Thanks again guys. This bike would be a huge paper weight with out you guys and this site. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-Yamaha-Banshee-Twist-Throttle-Cable-Vitos-CR-Style-/200278971925?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2ea18e9615

great info guys. thanks for the help.

I am sure that it is for adjusting something but I dont know what and dont want to mess with it until I find out. Thanks

Ok, so I got everything pulled apart today. The claw that engages the shift star was in a little bit of a bind. I pulled on the shift shaft a little and it freed the claw. The spring is still in good condition and everything looks good inside. The only problem is I tried to run it through the gears while everything was still apart. 1st and 2nd went great. It then went into 3rd and then would not up shift any further. I tried spinning the rear wheels and it eventually "clicked" and then would go into 4th but then did same thing all the way to 6th. Looking at the shift star while ddoing this it appeared that it was not engaging the gear enough for the claw to grab the next peg until you spin the hell out of the rear wheels. Is this normal? Thanks again. Also, could you guys recomend the best oil to put back in the gear box. Thanks

Ok, Thanks for info. I guess I will go pull the clutch cover and go from there.

Ok, so went to our local ride spot this morning and rode a very light trail for about 15 minutes. When I got back to camp I could not get it to go into nuetral. I then realized that it would not go in 1st at all. I can get it to shift into 3rd but when I do, the shift lever does not return to level position. It stays up like when you pull it up to shift. I did not hear or notice anything out of the normal on the ride. No pops or grinding. I can not hear anything rattling around when I role it. Any help on this is greatly apreciated. Thanks. Kevin

I was riding this past weekend and every time I crossed the river, the bike would run like a car would when you get water up on the distributor. It would still run and still hit the power band but felt like it was only running at about %75 with alot of "pinging" coming from the front of the exhaust. The thing that gets me is it takes forever to get it to clear out, and most of the time I have to go over to the straights and air it out before it will clear out. I was crossing through about 8"-10" deep water. The first couple of times I went through kinda fast but after words on the way back, I went through about as slow as I could. Is there anything I can do to keep this from happening? Thanks

Here's my MegaCab

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the 4 allen bolts that hold the rear brake rotor to the hub are reverse thread by chance. If not, anyone got any tricks to get these off. I already stripped one then used my dremmel to cut a slot in it and still could not get it off. Thanks
