Banshee wheelin' Posted May 1, 2005 Report Posted May 1, 2005 Ok yet another new guy question i bought a 98 shee about a month ago. It runs real stong and rides great i only have one problem i have been drag racing with my riding buddies and have been leaving in second gear but if you throttle it all the way and domp the clutch it will bog its also like it will only rev so high before you let the clutch out its not like a rev limiter it just won't rev past a certain point.I'm wondering if isn't the tors. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks Quote
superchicken Posted May 1, 2005 Report Posted May 1, 2005 unplug the little black box under the gas tank.right next to the coil.youl find out if it is the tors then Quote
BANJO Posted May 1, 2005 Report Posted May 1, 2005 well if your starting off in 2nd gear from a dead stop... its a banshee.. the powerband in almost half way through... if it bogs its probly because it wont kick in.. just ry starting in first.. when i drag race.. i always start in first cuz i think its funny ass hell when i snap it in 2nd and rip past who ever is next to me..lol.. oww banshees are the best.. peace devin Quote
white trash Posted May 2, 2005 Report Posted May 2, 2005 (edited) I agree with banjo to a point. Your probly not able to get it on the pipe because when you dump the clutch, its got too much gear to pull. Thus its bogging. Gear down a tad and that should solve it. I never start any race in 1st, way to short, and way to much wheel spin. If your only going 300', that split second it takes to get from 1st to 2nd can make or break ya in a close race. Gear a a bit different, and rev her to the moon before you leave the line Edited May 2, 2005 by white trash Quote
Banshee wheelin' Posted May 2, 2005 Author Report Posted May 2, 2005 That's what i'm saying it won't rev to the moon its like it will rev to a certain point but no further but it is not popping and cracking like a rev limiter does.I'm not sure what to do about it. Maybe it needs a shot of spray!!!! Quote
white trash Posted May 2, 2005 Report Posted May 2, 2005 Jetting got to be off then. Maybe your really rich on the main and cylinder is getting flooded with fuel, or really lean, and its starving. COuld also be a broken reed. When i had a broke reed it wouldnt rev clean, had absolutly no power, and i could hold that bitch pinned in neutral, and only get her cranking about 7000 rpm. Do a plug chop and see what they look like. Quote
