Vincip92 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 I recently bought my first banshee for almost nothing. Its bone stock and after changing plugs brakes and clutch cable it seems fine although someone told me that banshees normally have lag when you try to take off, can anyone tell me if this is true or do I need to do some more work to it?

special06shee Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Its a two stroke. They almost all have some sort of lag. Should not be too excessive tho. Invest in a compression gauge and see what kind of #'s of have. Chances are if ya got it for next to nothing, it needs a rebuild. Quote
Vincip92 Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Posted October 2, 2014 Its not to bad maybe last 1-2 seconds at most but after that takes off like a bat out of hell. Quote
Larry's Shee Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 No 2s has tractor like low end (4poke) List up your mods and settings/jetting. It might only take cleaning carbs, setting floats, sync carbs, tweeking air screw/needle to make it better Quote

03DMshee Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 I see you are new here.... Listen to these guys they know what there talking about...even if you have a dumb question dont be afraid...better to ask then to blow shit up...if you ask a question "genuinely" people will help you But...when someone gives you advise dont question it...follow it...you are new they are not.... And theres alot of ball busting that goes on here so take it with a grain of salt. ..if you have thin skin this is not the place for you...welcome to the addiction. ... Quote
trickedcarbine Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 ^ a bone stock bike should hesitate just a fraction of a second if you whack it from idle to full throttle instantly. Any thing more then a slight hesitation is a bog. If it bogs, you need to do a long list of trouble shooting. 1 Quote
Vincip92 Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Posted October 2, 2014 Ok thanks i guess ill start with the carbs and go from there Quote
Larry's Shee Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Do the carbs one at a time as parts are different, but will fit wrong carb. Don't forget to install choke crossover tube between carbs. Either get a Clymers repair manual or find the download on the forum. The boost bottle does nothing for performance. It does cause cracks on the intake boots, which causes air leaks, which causes melted pistons. Dump the bottle. Get either the stock crossover tube or pvc caps that fit the boot. Install with sealant and hose clamps. Quote
Larry's Shee Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 If you have TORS system on carbs, atleast unplug the brain, left frame tube by tank, 3 wire plug Quote
Brian Mcgowan Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 could be compression? could be rich? Quote
Vincip92 Posted October 3, 2014 Author Report Posted October 3, 2014 cleaned the carbs and one of the floats was sticking removed boost bottle runs mint now thanks for the help guys Quote
