fishbag Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 (edited) I just put on a boost bottle on my 02 Banshee that is jetted and has pipes, now it seems to really hesitate when I take off, especially in first and second. Does anyone know if this is a common prblem and what can be done to fix it?????? Thanks Fishbag Edited July 24, 2006 by fishbag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chronicwatson Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 ya if i was you i would take it off just cost me 80 bucks for new intakes due to the pos cracking them just my 2 cents.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel3190 Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Mine came with one so you just take it off and leave the holes were it went open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRI4life Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Mine came with one so you just take it off and leave the holes were it went open? yea if you want to blow your motor.. plug those!!!!! and boost bottles are not junk.. if your bike is tuned right then they work great with response.. dont know about you guys but i run the pro design with the intake manifolds.. and it runs perfect, and iv never had problems with them.. my vote is keep it and make it work to your benefit..

Dinner Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 My boost bottle put too much stress on my intake boots causing to get a cut in the right hand side. i went to go ride one day and notice it was sucking in air, but it wasnt a few days ago. So i found it was the boot, so i got all new boots and just the stock crossover tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if this is a common prblem and what can be done to fix it?????? Thanks Fishbag Mine came with one and after time it cracked the intakes where the bottle goes. When I took mine off it ran better. I just plugged the holes with some copper caps I found at lowes. I also noticed that both sides would smoke evenly with it off. Before the ride side would smoke more then the left. just my O2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRI4life Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 what clamps are you guys using?.. if you run the stock clamp and not a hose clamp then it should be fine.. iv had that problem.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squish Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 You must have gotton the lower model, mine added 23hp. Its too bad you cant get a keg to fit under the gas tank. Weld a couple of little tubes to it. Imagine the power increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animalman294 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Ya, I can't believe I am admitting this but back when I bought my shee I also bought a boost bottle for it. Ya, I know it was foolish and naive of me :yelrotflmao: , but now I know better and seen the error of my ways. Which is why it was never taken out of the original plastic. E-bay here I come.......................... Hello, my name is Tim, and I'm a Bansheeholic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheeryder21 Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 I have one on mine, but after looking at all the posts on this thread, majority rules that they are junk and just cause problems! I'm getting rid of mine! What should I do, put the stock cross over tube back on, or plug the holes? I don't even know if I have the stock tube?
