D-Roc Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 i was out on my stock banshee yesterday and was riding it a bit harder than i usually have been (break in period) and it suddenly stalled. The engine felt hotter then normal but not sure of temp. the bike would start up on first kick and idle but would stall if i stab the throttle. if i stabbed the throttle very quickly and it would rev a bit then stab throttle again and again i could get it to rev up normal and then ride it. it behaved like this for about 15 min. once i had the bike moving and ripping it would run fine, as soon as i slowed right down and idled then went to take off it would stall. it is not the same bog as the parking brake. i noticed very little smoke/ no smoke at all and i am running 24:1 so it should be smoking. i got all paranoid thinking i forgot to premix the fuel but i did. i checked. i washed it down and let it sit while eating dinner and took it out and it ran fine and smoked like normal. just before it started acting up i was trying wheelies, for 10 minutes straight, slow little 1st gear wheelies. do these stock carbs not like to be stood up in wheelies and let air in the fuel system or doe the overheat sensor make it act like this? any input is appreciated.

lowbuckracing Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Check your spark plugs,see if the cross over tube between your carbs is connected.Has the bike been sittting at all?If the plugs look good and the tube is connected then clean your carbs.If you still have problems do a compression test.If the compression is 120 or better then your probbly looking at electrical.Do the easy stuff first then let us know how it goes..JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Potteiger Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Riding wheelies will not affect the air/fuel since the charge is vaccum pulled, and the only overheat sensor on a banshee is when the water starts boiling out.

sandrider421 Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 they still make banshees i thought they stoped making them a couple years back or is that just in cali because of our great govener and conservationalist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Roc Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) this thing is new, like 4 tanks new. 2008 yfz 350x. it has a small hose off the head that goes into a electrical box of some sort. i assumed it is an overheat sensor????

Tim Potteiger Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) The small hose that comes from the top of the head goes back up to the top tank on the radiator. If it is going into some type of electrical box, that could pose a problem to say the least..... Oh yeah, I thought the last production year for the Banshee was 2006 or 2007??? It's not just Cali either, because I remember seeing the last Banshee that K&N Yamaha in Tulsa, OK had on the showroom in 06 or 07 whichever it was.

Canada bro, we got the banshee for two more years. I got the last one available in ontario that the dealerships could find. thanks for the input, the quad has been running fine since an i don't knwo what was causing this, it seemed like ignition but who knows.
