BansheeBibs

well i drained the transmission oil before that, the old oil looked pretty black. i believe the engine ice issue is that i didnt fill it up at all, didnt realize there was more space in the radiator for it i think the oil i am using might not have been the wisest choice though; if i have the quad in gear and i hold in the clutch it almost wants to lock up a bit, its a bit tough to move versus when its in neutral. however after it has been running for a little bit it has no issues whatsoever. and when the quad is actually running, it tries to move a TINY bit (when in first and holding in the clutch). it seems kind of strange that this issue doesnt occur after the engine is a little more hot

what does this mean? engines getting too hot or something?

thanks guys!! i will probably pull it apart this weekend before my next long trip up. on a side note, i noticed the coolant was empty when i bought it so i topped it with engine ice today, drove for about an hour, its empty again. this isnt normal i presume? i must have a leak somewhere

hi i'm new to this forum so please move my post if this is the wrong section i recently bought a banshee and my knowledge of 2 strokes is almost next to nothing. the guy i bought it off told me a shop tuned it for him to the elevation of the beaches in portland, but i live around 1200 ft. above sea level so im a bit higher up and he said i would have to tune the carbs. now so far i havnt noticed anything irregular about the banshee. the idle is good, never bogs, runs really fast and smooth and i dont even notice any issues. ive even gone further up the mountains a thousand feet or so without noticing any changes. when i was around 2500ft up i turned it off and see if i could kick it first start like usual and it did without any weird sputtering or bogging.. now my question is do i still need to get it tuned? it it something that precise? i know it was bored over; but not by how much and i also dont know the size of the jets. it has tomie pipes, cool heads, and k&n filters thanks everyone
