sheerider11 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 I went out last night and burned up the harness. Could I have blown out the CDI or coil? Quote
#1JUANstunna Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 Let anything is possible. What caused the harness to burn up? Did you melt it from an outside heat source or did the harness short out and ground out? Quote
sheerider11 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Posted January 26, 2012 It was up against the exhaust. Bike shut down to one cylinder, let out a huge back fire then that was that. So I'm getting a new harness, but it won't do me any good if I fried anything. So I just wanna know it any one else went through this and fried something else. Quote
Bkm2006 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 same thing happened to me but i seen it in time.. lucky i had plastic tubing stuff you get at auto parts store around my wire harness, didnt melt my harness just the plastic. i zip tie it to the cross over tube now. sorry to hear about your luck though, buy another off ebay or post in the wanted.

#1JUANstunna Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 See if you can pull all the wires apart that are melted if there not completely broken in two. Make sure nothing is touching and tape them up and check for spark. If you have spark than get a new harness and tie it up. Quote
sheerider11 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Posted January 26, 2012 I'm getting a used one for cheap. I still got spark. I'm not sure if is strong enough. The melted wires might have to much resistance. I'll keep updating. Good thing I have Thursdays off Quote
#1JUANstunna Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 I bet you'll be fine then with just swapping the harness. Quote
sheerider11 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Posted January 26, 2012 I hope its that simple. I'm leaving for Costa Rica Sunday would be nice to at least have it start. Quote
sheerider11 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Posted January 26, 2012 just replaced the little pieces of wire harness with some new wire, still no start not to sure where to go from here. I'm done for the day. This thing is gonna piss me off Quote
#1JUANstunna Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 Do you still have spark? Anyone with a banshee that lives close that you can swap electrical parts? Didn't you say it back fired? Maybe check your reeds and make sure it didn't break a reed when it backfired. Quote

#1JUANstunna Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 I bet you have a broken reed. Quote
sheerider11 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Posted January 26, 2012 AND YOU ARE CORRECT!!! Quote
BUILDER Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 We had the same thing happen to 2 of my buddies bikes one weekend at the coast. As Yamahaman said I am sure your reed is broke and once you fix that and the wires it should fire right up no problem. Quote
