Kendrick81 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Hi all, I have a 99 shee that is pretty much brand new in every aspect. Was riding the hills one day several months ago and it died, dead...nada. Took it to a local shop that was recommended by my roommate . Guy said stator, replaced it with a Ricks....started up idled beautifully. It runs, but is very limited on revs, makes it to about mid range then stops increasing in revs and sounds like the left cylinder goes out. If you have your hand at the exit of the left silencer no more air gets pushed out when it reaches its new unwanted rev limit. He said CDI box....I said go ahead......same damn problem.....I said ignition coil, he said not even remotely likely that one side goes out and the other works, I said why not, he explained, I said if the lead is bad the lead is bad. I'm gonna stop by again in the morning and see if I switch sides on the plug caps if the problem moves sides as well. If it does, new Ignition Coil right? If the problem doesn't move dead cylinder on a brand new motor? I sure as shit hope not cuz my builder is in Vegas and that would be a major pain the ass since I m in rapid city now. Any coherent thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I have video of it on my phone and will try to upload it if at all possible that way you fine folks could have a better idea of what I'm talkin about. Thank you in advance, have a great day.

Burt Reynolds Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 How far will it rev? If it starts up easy but wont rev it could be something as simple as your parking brake switch. Trouble shooting by buying parts is never a good way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfrjag Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 did you say ricks stator?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendrick81 Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Thanks for responding.......parking brake was taken off before I even had the bike....plus it ran fine before the stator went out. Yeah Jag, Ricks stator, guy said he's had pretty good luck with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papa-smurf Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Ricky stators are notorious for not being the best quality brand. Do you have a stock stator to switch out? Maybe a buddy can lend one? They go cheap on here all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jereme6655 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 go buy an OEM stator and DO NOT COUNT ON SHIT AFTERMARKET STATORS! All sorts of fucked up electrical problems can be had by shitty quality stators. Find a buddy with another banshee or ask the guy to pull a stator from another bike and try it on yours. Bet it clears up.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendrick81 Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 So the consensus is that it's definitely not the ignition coil or CDI, and has to be a bad new stator? Could it be anything else besides the stator that is doing this? Thank you guys so much for the help! I wish I had someone that could switch me out but I'm new to the area and don't know anyone with another banshee. Thanks fellas....I'll report back. Bob P.S. should I have the guy go back to the original CDI box as well and get rid of the ricks one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Does the bike still have the TORS system and parking brake? Those tend to get screwy after a bit some times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general_lee_banshee Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I got the same problem with mine let me know what it is if you find the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendrick81 Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 No Tricked....the parking brake and TORS were gone when I bought it.....and I have 34 mm flat sides as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
