bansheerider420 Posted June 21, 2009 Report Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) Hello, i am new to the Banshee forum. I just picked up a 1999 Yamaha Banshee 2 days ago for $2k It has the following mods: t-5 chrome tommeys, dual K&N filters, cool intake tube, v-force reeds, and ported heads. Bike fires up in 1-2 kicks! I have a few questions they are: My left pipe smokes when idling or low rpms and the right pipe doesn't blow smoke. What could this be? What oil to fuel mixture should i be running 40:1?? The bike has not been ran much in the last 2yrs the guy i bought it from said it was his wifes bike. I'm not a racer or interested in drag racing it. Just bought it to go out once in awhile with the wife and cruise around. Any help would be much apperciated thanks! Here's a pic of it with the bald dirt tires it came with lol. It did come with a NEW set of aluminum wheels and skat trak extreme paddles. Edited June 21, 2009 by bansheerider420 Quote

TwistedSheeRida Posted June 21, 2009 Report Posted June 21, 2009 Welcome to the HQ check out the site and different forums and youll find a lot of useful info. I would do a compression check on those cylinders and take those carbs off and clean them out. i would run 40:1 thats what i run with amsoil interceptor. Quote
bansheerider420 Posted June 21, 2009 Author Report Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) What should the compression be? The bike runs and goes great. Doesn't cut out/hesitate or miss a beat! Just worried about that right cylinder getting enough oil. Edited June 21, 2009 by bansheerider420 Quote
dragbanshee Posted June 21, 2009 Report Posted June 21, 2009 Depends on where you are normally about 120-130 stock head. Have you put in new plugs, checked the plug caps and wires, and cleaned the carbs? Have you adjusted and sincronized? A lot of little things to check, 1st thing I would do is new plugs, then carbs, may even be gummed up. Quote
bansheerider420 Posted June 21, 2009 Author Report Posted June 21, 2009 Thanks guys for all the help! Quote
bansheerider420 Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Posted June 24, 2009 Ok, Did a compression test. Both are 112 PSI on compression. Put new NGK spark plugs in it, and took my air cleaners off and checked the sync. I could see the line threw the little window on the carb... Could it need the carbs adjust or have the jets adjusted?????? Quote
