nightmarebanshee

hey guys got an 89 banshee and it needs a new flywheel and stator...my question is is it worth putting that money into it? ive looked around at flywheel and stators and oem seems to be the only way to go but brand new they are super expensive...just wondering if its worth buying just those 2 parts or should i go ahead and buy a newer bike that has more work done to it than my current one and use the 89 for parts? im kinda leaning towards buying a newer one down the road just wanted to see what you guys think..also been thinking about selling/parting out my 89

89 banshee toomy t5 uni air filter stock pilots 280 mains...well it was running pretty good and it started cutting out and sputtering wouldnt hit powerband in any gear... went through carbs cleaned them up and put new plugs in...starts 1st 2nd kick always idles fine carbs are synched choke tube connected tors eliminated spark seems to be fine coil ohmed out correctly it has always had a bog in 6th wot but it had been running fine through 5th needle position is in middle. im just kinda stumped and would like some advice/opinions on what it could be and if anyone has came across the same problem thanks guys!

well...basically how do you put that return spring back into your carb cap? does it attach to anything? kinda stumped thanks for the help guys

ok thanks

ok what? lol mods listed are the ones i have...just want a few ideas of what to get what kind of port,head, crank etc...my bike is kind of a pooch lol i want some more power

kinda kickin around the idea of sendin my motor out to get ported etc. i want to stay on pump gas and i ride alot of open fields and back roads. also i want to get a new crank as well...i have some ideas of parts to go with just want a few opinions...mods are toomy t5 weisco prolite pistons and uni air

ok thanks for the quick reply guys!!

one of the nuts that holds my footpeg in broke off the frame...my question is do i need to do anything with the electronics on the bike before i weld that part back in to place

ok ill check that tomorrow and let you guys know what i find out..thanks for the help guys i appreciate it!

magnets are still there...on that pickup coil i had to cut away a little bit of plastic though so it would actually magnetize

i bought the bike off a friend it wasnt running when i got it but the only things i added were toomy t5s and uni air filter and rebuilt the top end with weisco pro lite pistons main jet is at 280 ive been narrowing down electrical issues with this bike and its getting closer each time...just have found multiple splices in spits etc and its alot better than it was before but ive owned other banshees and i know this one isnt quite where it should be..very close but not there yet

ok i dont really know anyone that has a banshee but ill figure somethin out

rebuilt my banshee a few months ago and i was trying to remove the flywheel without the proper puller but one that had worked previously...and i kinda gouged up the holes in the middle and im cutting out up high in 5-6th gear...could i have made the flywheel out of balance by doing that and if so would that be my problem? new coil pickup gap good jetting correct

forgot to mention that now 5th gear rips.like it should but 6th still worthless...stock sprocket size have anything to do with that or is it a jetting problem?

great...lol i dunno ill mess with the air screw some

it doesnt really bog and die it just doesnt completly open up like it should until im on flat ground then it rips...its just weird how it wont spin real quick on that slick garage floor or climb a hill

yea i got real lucky it dug into the road but not enough to launch me

im.not sure what his name.is but the top j arms still seem pretty good but im going to bother lower a arms...kind of startles you when bottom arm falls off the ball joint in 3rd gear lol but i dont have the money for brand new ones just a broke college kid so used ones on ebay seem like the way to go for now

thanks once i get my a arms ill be able to do it

280 main stock pilot and i cant remember what the needle is set at

and also to give a better idea of what its doing...if i go in the garage and hold the front brakes and gas it..it spins the rear tires but not like it should lol and we all.know how slick the garage floors are lol might sound silly but it should rip on that floor

has a fresh top end toomy t5s weisco pro lite pistons uni air with air vents and super stock reeds..once it hits the power band its fine but if i go up a slight hill it bogs in 1st until.i get to the top of the hill? what could cause that? pilot jet? flat land it runs just fine.

well i checked out some prices on lower a arms...thinking used ones iff ebay from a guy that has tons of banshee parts is what im gonna do ive bought a few things from him already and havnt had a problem

use a big socket and a small sledge hammer...on mine previous owner didnt install seal on brake caliper side so i had to break out the torch and dremel....but basically get a socket that will fit around the ring of the old bearing and smack it out you will have to do that on each side...it can be a pain

i think the j arms are ok they still se rather tight
