ssskipeee Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 My mate bought a 03 banshee the other day, between all of us who ride we`ve had a few of them and have been great but this one is rather slow, I checked the compression and am getting 120psi both sides, the plugs look good and cleaned the carbs. The whole bike is stock and is in pretty good shape, when we picked it up it wasnt idling either but I sorted this and it now idles fine. After cleaning the carbs and checking the reeds, putting in fresh fuel and 2 stroke it seemed a bit better, popping wheelies. We went a run and it was just crap, screaming but going nowhere slow any ideas. Quote

ssskipeee Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Posted July 27, 2009 Just took it out of the garage let it heat up and it goes loke it should then after a few mins it shit again. Quote
fastrthnu Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 sounds lean or could be clutch slipping,.... or both. Quote
Jeffyboy Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 Sounds like clutch is slipping on it once its up in the revs in the powerband. I recently had this issue new clutch solved it. Quote
ssskipeee Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Posted July 27, 2009 it goes like stink when its just warmed up but the more its used the less power it has, would this mean its the clutch? Quote
350scabarat Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 Sounds lean to me. . . Itl be obvious if ur clutch is sliping though. . .at What rmp range is it crap? U can check that way if its pilots or mains. .try droping the needle clip to richen it up abit. Mayb itl be beta then u know its to lean Quote
slopoke Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) this may sound dumb but the sure way to ck the clutch is warm it up till bike loses power, come to a dead stop and put it in like 3rd gear, rev it up and dump the clutch, if it goes nowhere or barely the clutch is the issue. If the bike dies, prob not the clutch. If indeed it is lean do NOT run it till problem is solved. PS check for the simple things like the gas cap vent. Edited July 27, 2009 by slopoke Quote

Mayb itl be beta then u know its to lean its just slow all through the revs when you actually get it going, makes all the right noises but just doesnt go like a banshee should. it was fine when i had a spin at my garage but like i said when it gets out it seems to slow down.
