Mattsbanshee Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 I was driving my banshee and it didnt seem to have power? i was in 4th and pretty much to the handle and was going only 30km? but it would somtimes kick in and almost send me off the bike, what could possibly be wrong? Quote
rjdgriff Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 Was it cutting out? Or just not kicking in? Or what? What's your air filter set up? Post more details Quote
Mattsbanshee Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) everything is stock but my pipes! and not just cutting out completely it would have no power and then kick in and take off then die again, i think im only fireing on one piston Edited February 20, 2012 by Mattsbanshee Quote
Boston Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 do you have tors? what jets are in it, elevation, and temp? Quote
Mattsbanshee Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Posted February 20, 2012 I'm not sure about my jetting, and I live in Newfoundland and its winter here now so it's fairly cold! I'm also new to a banshee I've heard and drive them before and seen them scrapped but never owned one to have a problem so if I have to ask question please bear with me! Haha Quote
rjdgriff Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 Ok well if you havnt changed your jetting ever you may have been running to lean in the cold weather. What do your spark plugs look like? Quote
Mattsbanshee Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Posted February 20, 2012 My plugs are good I cleaned the caps as everything but still runs bad! Quote
rjdgriff Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 Using airbox and lid? If so clean your filter and don't put the lid on your airbox, give that a try. Eliminate the easy stuff first and if that fails then start thinking bigger Quote
Mattsbanshee Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Posted February 20, 2012 Well thanks for your help guys but I broke down an took her to get looked at today! I'll post what was wrong with her when I find out Quote

Larry's Shee Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 16 hours from first post till it was in a shop didn't give much time to solve the problem. Hope you didn't get the infamous mechanic Ben Dover. JMHO, your results may, and will vary. Quote
rjdgriff Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 Tell us what your mechanic says b4 you let him jack somethin up Quote
Boston Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 hopefully not because they didnt jet the carbs after the pipes where put on. Quote
Mattsbanshee Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Posted February 21, 2012 For the news today! She works and runs better than ever, the only thing wrong was that the timing chain and somthing to do with my coil was out of line! Quote
rjdgriff Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 Good, glad to hear its running good for ya now Quote
