quadboy-55 Posted August 2, 2010 Report Posted August 2, 2010 Hey everyone, I just thought I'd say hi and introduce myself. I just purchased my first Banshee just a few days ago. Right now all I have to say is that its great! I have wanted a Banshee for a very long time and I got my bone stock '03 S.E. at a great price, and Damn its fast! It flat out owns my YFZ! Anyways, I should probably get a little more aquainted with the search bar a little better because I know what its like on other forums when every newb asks the same questions. So far the only things I have done to it was relocate the key to the fender to make room for a bar pad. Anyways, there should be some pics in the link in my sig. Quote

quadboy-55 Posted August 2, 2010 Author Report Posted August 2, 2010 (edited) give us your mods and future plans and we can recommend a pipe for you. I havent put it into a ton of thought, but my Banshee would be more of a duner/ hill climber, though I would like to see how it does on a track compared to my YFZ. (the YFZ is almost full motocross trim) As for current mods, quiet cores removed, Protaper bar pad, relocated the key to the front fender. LOL, its about as stock as can be! So far what I was thinking of doing was to maybe bump up the compression (no higher than 91) and go a little over bore, but a crank might be a little too costly (prob 400cc) If I get a little too into it, maybe stroker and 500cc around there. I'd have to see prices. Other than that, reeds, and intake, no lid, and a possible carburetor bore. With that being said, on the suspension side, deffinatley +2 swinger. The quad is going to be mostly used in the upper RPM's and going to remove the TORS sensor (I got a shop manual) but a little bottom end is always nice for a wheelie or two. Also one more thing, Lately its been getting harder and harder to start, the other day it started first kick and ran great. I checked everything and thought I'd report back to see what it could be. The gas to oil is correct, the spark plugs have just been replaced, recently did an oil change, cleaned the airfilter and it doesn't want to start! Any suggestions would be great! Thanks again everyone, your all really helpful! welcome to the addiction....congrats on shee....spill ur plans... Haha, thanks man! Plans are up ahead. Welcome to the family dude. Thanks! Everyone is really helpful here! Edited August 2, 2010 by quadboy-55 Quote

I thought my YFZ was a hand full on my wallet, now I got something that is going to eat its way well into my savings, lol. Quote

Welcome to BHQ. How dirty was that filter when you cleaned it? I may be running lean. The plugs? Did you replace them with NGK B8ES's? Quote

Did you replace them with NGK B8ES's? Yep, same plugs, after I swapped 'em it ran better. And the filter actually wasn't bad, I just cleaned it because the previous owner didn't oil it. I double checked and so far nothing got into the tract or carburetors. Quote

OK, maybe the opposite, maybe the oiled filter is choking out the engine. Try removing it (BRIEFLY) and see if it starts. Is the filter foam or fabric? What did you use to to oil it? What brand/type of filter is it? You also said "gas to oil is correct" most of us (I think) are running 32:1 synthetic or synthetic blend. Some are running 40:1 with Klotz.

Some are running 40:1 with Klotz. Filter is absolutly 100% stock (foam), I cleaned it on the first day, and It ran great, thats what I don't understand. I also tried removing it to see if it was the oil (still didn't start), there is a normal ammount of oil (I run foam in all of my quads) and It's oiled with Maxima filter oil, and cleaned it with Twin-Air filter cleaner. As for oil, I'm running 24:1 (dealer reccomended) and It ran great, just yesterday night it decided it shouldn't start. Quote
