Thank you. Im sure its the gauge. I will see about getting another one.

I want to check compression in my banshee. We have a gauge and the end fits into the spark plug hole but wont register any pressure when kicking it. At the top of the threads it has a green gasket. Just seeing if there is a different tip i need or maybe gauge is bad.

If I go down 700ft in elevation will it run richer or leaner?

I have heard it has all kinds of riding style places to go. I would like a nice ride in the mountains, no huge rocks and little to no water to cross. with some fun playground like spots throughout, like doing rainbows and little jumps etc. Im too old to get hurt on these things but I love riding and going fast on them lol

me or zilla? I havent but my brother has. I would like to but right now its just me, no one to ride with. We have a off brand polaris type vehicle that my husband is currently trying to fix. Carb problems. Then we can go places i hope.

Yea totally!!

wow so the consensus is it would work but performance would be better with a lower octane non ethanol fuel??

Thats awesome. I work at the courthouse, stop by lol That would be crazy.

Im in sevierville but it was in lebanon. I ended up getting it with a gallon of that klotz oil and 2 sand tires and rims for 3500. Its hard to find one that hasnt been modded to death or junked out.

Nope. Wasnt in as nice of shape as it seemed in pics plus when we got there it wouldnt start. After deciphering the vin it is a 99 not 02 like advertised. After we left he found out it was the spark plug boot had come loose from wire, but after that i was leery of it. Also the shocks were worn out bad. We had one more to go look at if that didnt work out and it was beautiful and in great condition so I bought it. The one I got had exactly the upgrades i wanted, fmf pipes, k&n filter and razr tires. Only thing i dont like is the nerf bars. I prefer just the pegs.

I called the local gas station and it sells 104 octane. I ran it in my previous 01 stock banshee 10 yrs ago and it seemed ok but I only had it a year.

great info guys. Thank you.

ok, thank you.

I just bought a 99 banshee yesterday. Its stock except fmf pipes/silencers and k & n filter. He said he uses klotz benol in it and gave me a gallon of it. I have never used it before and it has a pretty strong smell. Is this good oil for a stock banshee or is there something better I should buy. He also said it is running on non ethanol gas. I love the smell of race gas so when it is due for a fill up i intend to get some of it. What oil would work good with that kind of gas? I havent had a banshee in 10 years so seems like i forgot everything lol thanks

Found one. Please close this thread.

WOW, way too many Portlands

Nope, he meat Portland, Tennessee i think lol.

Ok, going tomorrow to look at it.

They dont make them anymore. The funny thing is I had the exact same graphics on a j arm over 12 yrs ago. Nostalgia to me. I think im going to get it, if it runs good. Going tomorrow or wednesday to get it.
