2003 banshee

Now i have another problem. i noticed that one of my needles is thicker then the other and it smokes more from one exhaust because of it. What kind of needles do you think i should buy?. my bike isnt stock so i dont know which ones to buy, and there stock carbs

You think its lean? should i clean just the pilots or everything?

hey guys ive had some trouble with my banshee back firing sometimes . it used to do it sometimes when i went riding but now its more often. i know one of my needles is thicker then the other so but i switched them and it only back fires from the same side so i know thats not it. (im going to order matching needles) also i switched the plug caps and my coil is new and the back fire is still from the same side. im thinking maybe i need to clean the carb? also i read the carb bowls could be switched? help me out i dont like having trouble with my baby.

hey man the take off in 2nd gear with that sprocket is much better. i cant keep the front end down though, now i just need to get a longer swing arm.

Alright thanks ima try the 42 then

one of my friends had told me to run 14 45 but theres other people here telling me to just run 13 42! i dont know what to do now

But hows the take off on it in sand?

So you think i should just change the rear one to a 42? because i thought i would need to change the front one right now because the take off sucks. its alot of rpms but not any take off

hey i have a 4 mill banshee and want to know what number of sprockets to run. heres the motor work, tires, andd my weight 4 mill ported milled head 65 mm pistons v force 3 stock carbs with 6 in filters cpi inframes nology coil ricks electronics cdi Tires on rear are skat trak 10 paddle haulers triple buffed 22x11x8 + 4 swing arm. i weigh about 120 pounds. i was told that 14 tooth front sprocket and a 45 in the rear would work great i wanted to know if this will work or if i need different number of teeth. it has a 13 tooth in the front riqht now and stock in the rear. i am looking for sprockets i can run on flats and uphill with out having to change them. please help me out thanks

thanks for the advise. im going to order a complete shifting rod from cascade, modded shift star, and the shift star spring. hopefully this fixes the problem. i wanna be able to race my bike again and ride it like i used too.

I've had my banshee for a couple a months and its been in and out of the shop with carb trouble well now the carbs are good but that last time i took it riding i was trying to race and it would downshift on its own. i have have gone throuqh all 6 gears on the street and hard pack with the knobbies and it will run perfect without down shifting. but as soon as i hit the sand with my paddles it runs good for a little then starts down shifting. its down shifted from 2nd to 1st 3rd to 1st 5th to fourth. and as soon as i have speed and wanna go up steep hills in the dunes and say im in 3rd gear as soon as it gets up ward it just down shifts to 1st please let me know if you guys have an idea of what it can be. i just wanna be able to ride my banshee with out having problems. 96 banshee 65mm pistons ported milled head v force stock carbs 6 in k&n pod filters 4 mill hot rod crank 22x11x8 10 paddle tripple buffed haulers

wat do you mean it doesnt fit?

wtf!?....watt part of it doesntt fit?!

why was the steering all messed up??

yeah i saw wat u mean but atleast the guy sold me the whole front end so ill use the yfz spindles. but does the brake caliper from the banshee fit on the yfz spindle?

do you think it put stress on the ball joints because it sits to low??

yes but i couldnt find them....when i searched it wouldnt let me

i just bought a set of yfz 450 a arms that i want to install on my banshee but i know that there are mods that need to be done to the lower a arms and i need help please if someone has pictures and info of the step by step installation please tell me. 1996 banshee 4 mill,ported,milled head,CPI inframes,v force, extended swingarm and more. soon yfz 450 a arms!

ok well thanks for the tip....but i took it to a mechanic today and it was back firing out of the right side and he said that the piston wasnt turning on and thats why it wasnt working rightt....so it might be the coil

ok well i just installed the carb kits on my stock banshee carbs....but before i did it was running great and never had any trouble. but now that i installed them i switched out the old air/fuel mix screws with the new ones from the kit. but now it starts right up but when i go to rev it..it bogs down and after a while starts to drip gas out of the hose at the bottom of the float bowl. i dont know whats wrong....unless i installed something wrong. please let me know i need help main jets 290 t5 pipes k&n filter air/fuel screw 1 1/2 turns out
