well its an 89 so it has j arm up top and i noticed a tie rod was bent so im getting the tusk chrome alloy ones from rmatv

just my luck...riding it today and the lower left a arm fell off from the ball bearing...the only part of the bike that hasnt been redone lol...im guessing you have to buy a hole new arm right?

the ones that go to the kill switch and there were two splices in the ground wire for the coil and i redid the plug caps as well

found the problem had some loose wires got them fixed up and she is running like a champ thanks for.the help jesse!

ok from plug boot to plug boot it ohms are 16.91

id mail it back once i tested it i wont steal it ill send a check that covers shipping back with the cdi

im leaning towards and electrical problem still...does anyone have a cdi that they know works and could mail it to me? id pay for shipping both ways? i dont want to buy a new one and have that not fix the problem..if not its fine i understand

yeah it follows it...i havnt ohmed it out im gonna do that tonight. the compression shouldnt be bad i would. think with a fresh top end it starts first or second kick everytime.

well i think i got a couple.bugs figured out...got to looking at ignition coil.and the ground was spliced in 2 spots so i got rid of one splice and cleaned carbs again real good. i can hit wot 3rd 4th and doesnt cut out but 1st and 2ndi lose a cylinder and it follows the plug boot when i move it. havnt checked pickup gap or done compression test thats next on my list and i also might move my main up to 290-300

ill check that too it might have gotten bumped out of time while working on the engine..i think i remember seeing the plate for it if its out of time what should it be set at?

i got a new coil for it ill ohm it out and check the spark thanks for the help jesse ill let you know what happens tomorrow!

im leaning towards a jetting problem might go down to 270s on main

see what i dont understand is that it uses the same amount of fuel wot in 1-4 as it does in 5th and 6th right? it doesnt sense what gear it just knows throttle position ill have a chance to take a look at it tomorrow and im gonna try and build a leak down tester or see if the shop by me has one. might have the guy that owns the shop take it for a spin and see what he thinks

so would that limit the powerband?

pickup gap is where? down by stator?

also it doesnt have enough ass to pop a wheelie either? my old banshee would pull up the front through 4th...the one i have now doesnt have as much done to it but it should still pull up some...its been an ongoing battle with this thing for awhile just need some help guys...it has new reeds as well and got rid of tors forgot to put that in post above

need some help guys..just a few things about my banshee t5 pipes fresh top end uni air filter with lid vents 280 mains and stock pilots...it doesnt have the pull it should in lower gears i tried to rip it up.a hill in 1st and 2nd and it just bogged out but when im on a straight away it opens up and hits powerband through 4th sometimes 5th and 6th it falls on its face..just replaced ignition coil...im in jerseyville illinois and it was 75 degrees yesterday when i rode it...could it be a clutch issue? or main jet?

make sure your emergency brake isnt engaged...had that same problem my emergency brake cable was stretched so it looked like it wasnt on when it actually was

well i took the plug boots off the coil cause the right cylinder has been back firing and the ignition wires in there fell apart.the bike is an 89 and the coil looks like it lol so im gonna order a new coil and go from there its all screwed up

with the 290s 5th and 6th are flat but with 280s fifth gear comes along 6th still flat...im starting to think i have a coil issue i redid the caps awhile ago before i got it running and the right cylinder keeps backfiring so i switched the boots and same problem

carbs are clean but the gap is a good starting point what is the correct gap size? and i was told that moving needle clip position might help but im not sure which way to go ive never had to adjust it on my old banshee

im having trouble hitting the powerband in 5th but mostly 6th gear..i think ive got the mains dialed in 270s to lean 290s rich 280 is what i have in it now and the plugs are golden brown but when i shift into 5th it bogs a little and gradually hits powerband and 6th it falls on its face i cant remember what i have the needle set at but could moving the needle up or down fix this problem? it is just broken in with t5s and uni air filter with airvents installed
