omar1412 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hi guys I finally bought a brand new Yamaha banshee, and the motor hardly kicks in It takes a long time to start What should I do? or Is this normal? ( There is only half a gallone of fuel). , How long do the plugs last before I need to change them? and How do I replace them? This my first Banshee so I only have little knowledge about It. Thank you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar1412 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 if you just bought a brand new shee from a dealer, i would be returning it if it didn't start on the first kick. and i assume you dont live in the US. Hi, I add a fuel mixture today and it started from the second kick but lots of smoke is coming from the exhaust (26.1 ratio for braking in) I think this is normal due to the oil being burned Isn't it? I dont live in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omar1412 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 run 32:1, 26 is too oil rich. go for a lil ride, see if it clears out. Yeh I am going to run it at 32 on the second tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous039 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 26:1 is to much oil for the motor, even for break in. Most of us guys on here have done several Topend Rebuilds and Break In Periods. We are giving you proper first hand advice to run 32:1.Dont listen to the dealer, im sure they dont have more knowledge them the guys on here. Yeh I am going to run it at 32 on the second tank.

LS3 Machine Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Yeh I am going to run it at 32 on the second tank. I'd go closed to 36:1 to 40:1. Omar are you in KSA? The dealer adds way too much oil here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I am not going to follow what the dealer say because they told me to do 20:1 and clean the plugs every 10-15 hours of use and thats too much. I am know at 31:1.

Jereme6655 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Yes, I am. Actually, I am not going to follow what the dealer say because they told me to do 20:1 and clean the plugs every 10-15 hours of use and thats too much. I am know at 31:1. yes.....way too much oil. You should be running it at 32:1. If you are running a god quality synthetic 2 stroke oil you can even run it around 40:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS3 Machine Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Yes, I am. Actually, I am not going to follow what the dealer say because they told me to do 20:1 and clean the plugs every 10-15 hours of use and thats too much. I am know at 31:1. Good job Omar. The dealers in the KSA or the USA for that matter dont know what they are talking about. I guess you got in in al khobar, where I got my 2009 this year? Enjoy the banshee!

omar1412 Posted November 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Good job Omar. The dealers in the KSA or the USA for that matter dont know what they are talking about. I guess you got in in al khobar, where I got my 2009 this year? Enjoy the banshee! The dealers dont care about your banshee in the long run because the warranty is only one year. I dont live in al khobar, I live in Riyadh. I have heard that they do sell 2009 banshees in Jeddah and Al khobar and Dammam for a 18000 Riyal which is 4800 Dollars, very nice price because I have got mine for 23000 Rials which is 6100 dollars. By the way, How do you find Al khobar? and Do you ride your bike on the beaches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uf21 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I also own a 2011 banshee and my guess about why it's hard to start and blowing a lot of smoke is because you need new spark plugs. I changed my spark plugs on the weekend and it's started first kIck and smoke cleared up in seconds where as before I changed them it took like 6-10 kicks to start and was blowing a lot of smoke.

Uf21 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Also about the oil. 20:1 ratio is recommended by yamaha(in the book) for specific brands of oil. From memory one of those oils were Castrol R30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
