Wallrat Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 Temp gauge should be the first thing. All the mods in the world won't help shit if you end up overheating and killing your engine. Its nice insurance when you start messing with air filters and pipes so that you don't run it lean and overheat. You can buy em for $30-80 or you could make your own using a meat thermometer for about $15. Quote
mrmatt Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 Once you get that Clymer's manual, take the Banshee apart and grease a few key areas! This isn't really a mod, but it should be done as early as possible to a new Banshee. You'll be thanking yourself in couple of years. There are a few design/assembly flaws in the Banshee that allow components to rust together. If these parts are coated in Grease or antiseize, the rust will be minimized or stopped completely. The key areas are: The long upper A-arm bolt: Just remove the bolt, cover it with grease and re-install it. If you don't do this, the bolt will be rusted to the sleave with in a couple of years and you will only have two options to get it out: BFH (big friggin hammer) or Sawzall. The swingarm pivot bolt: Same thing, remove it and cover it with grease. Then reinstall. Rear axle carrier: Disasseble the rear axle carrier and coat everything with grease, including the splines in the axle. You can even put a grease zerk in the carrier to keep is filled with grease. Otherwise you'll need a press or BFH to get the axle out after only a couple of years. Quote
akpopeye Posted November 11, 2003 Report Posted November 11, 2003 you guys say just romove the TORS and the airbox assembly......you can just take the tors out totally????? how so..i dont know much.....but is there anything else to do than just simply remove these two things?????? thanx guys Quote
EmpirE231 Posted November 11, 2003 Report Posted November 11, 2003 dumb question! but whats TORS? Quote
akpopeye Posted November 11, 2003 Report Posted November 11, 2003 yea.....somebody clue us idiots in..what is tors..and do you just take it totally out???? thanx Quote
Banchetta Posted November 11, 2003 Report Posted November 11, 2003 TORS=throttle override system Its basically the stock computer that stops the motor from revving when the throttle is stuck wide open. Eventually they fail and makes the motor do different things like not rev out or no spark....some people will also call the carb tops the tors.....To disconnect them, disconnect the parking brake switch on the handlebars and follow the wire towards the gas tank to a wire connector, Disconnect it. There is also a little black box above the left exhaust w/ a 3-wire plug, disconnect it.. Mods: K&N w/ flange and air box mod Pipes to YOUR riding style and terrain Cool head Shorter swingarm if your running knobby tires. All the power in the world is useless w/o getting it to the ground. A lot of people on here cut and reweld the stock swingarm. Do a search, good info. Boysen petals +4 timing key or adjustable plate This is what I'd suggest to anyone to start w/ then keep reading and learn on here. There is a ton of info.....Your shee won't even be close to the same w/ just these mods.. Quote
brollins23 Posted November 11, 2003 Report Posted November 11, 2003 I ordered the K+N Filter for my banshee, now were do I get the flang? Also I'm considering buying a coolhead. Which one is the best for the money? My pipes are Gnarley's so i would like to do a something to boost my mid range a little more. Quote

oldbanshee Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 Pro design pro flow, or the noss machine adapter, and a k/n air filter. Next mods, different exhaust, eliminate the tors, nerf bars or different pegs. Different handlebars, water pump impellar. Then maybe some different front shocks. Quote
