MILO Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 welcome to the HQ, and welcome to the world of the banshee. there's not a thing wrong with your shee if it's tryin to buck you off of her. you just need to hold on a little tighter, that's all. what kind of riding do you do, trails, open country, dunes? either way you'll get the feel for it soon and learn to manipulate the power band, a little slip of the clutch here and there and that low end bog will be a thing of the past for you. sounds like besides breaking in the motor, a little rider break in is needed too. just don't rush into things. pace yourself and know your limits. a banshee is a hell of a ride for a 1st timer, but don't let it intimidate you. if your afraid of it, then you're in trouble, maybe it's not the ride for you. take your time and grow into it, before long you'll be addicted to the speed and wanting to mod it up for more. it's never fast enough and this is the place to come to bring it all together.

y2kbanshee9187 Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 (edited) it says on the back 12oz With 5 gallons 52:1 for optimal performance 16oz with 5 gallons 40:1 For Severe Conditions 16oz With 5 Gallons 64:1 For Slower Conditions Any Sugestions? 341302[/snapback] You could get a mixing cup if thats what youre asking...
