when i rev in 2nd my shee stumbles alil like its not getting any gas or something why is that im new to a banshee my other bike is a raptor350.. i was wondering if this is normal in low speed for the shee and damn that kick start how hard is it to flood the carbs and do i have to remove them everytime they flood ,,didnt wanna start so i was giving it some gas ...should i give it gas or not whats the best way to start the monster.. and also the rear of the shee hits alot of shit in the trails cause it kinda low and feel bouncy should i tighten the reaSHOCK I KNOW I NEED A GOOD SKID PLATE ANYONE KNOW WHERE I COULD GET UNO FOR CHEAPO

man it sounds to me like it could be one of 2 things. have you done any mods to it? if so list them. if you are just chugging along in secong gear then pin the throttle it probably will bog just because its a 2-stroke and a stock shee has no low end at all. if you have some mods on it you might want to check to make sure it is not running lean. one easy way to check is to warm it up real good then run it with full choke. if it runs better then it is lean. you can also do a plug chop to figure out what is going on inside there. let me know how it turns out

oh yeah i gorgot your other questions. lol. no you do not have to completely remove the carbs if they are flooded. you can let them sit there for a while and it will fix themselves. or you can pull the choke out i believe it is and pin the throttle to start it. if that doesn't work right away then stop so you dont make it worse. when i start it cold i pull the choke out and give it a lil gas. they are really easy to start once u get the hang of it. make sure you keep some extra plugs around in case you foul them out. tightening the rear shockwill not keep the bottom of the swingarm from bottoming out. that is controlled more or less by tire heighth. the shock jsut controls your preload and rebound. about the only thing you can do to fix the bottoming out of the swingarm is to get taller tires and run alot of psi in them. any questions jsut holla :shoothead:

not true. first off a stock banshee has plenty of bottom end , and even if the bottom end was crap putting around in 2nd then pinning it wouldnt casue it to bog, its bogging out becasue you have loaded up the carbs with fuel by putting around. 2 strocks are in no way made to run at low rps. 2 strokes are made to run at high rpms and have fuel movment constantly. when you putt around the carbs load up fuel trying to push it to the cylinders and to overload them when you suddenly dump the throttle.

As far as starting your 'shee, my '04 has always started on the first kick provided the choke is pulled out to the first notch. Don't give it any gas and take a stab at the kicker. I dont know, works for me in any spring/summer temp. Thats with a cold engine, warm I use no choke. This is the only one Ive ever owned, and they say theyre all different.....lol

same with mine i pull choke and kick it hard if it dosent start i kick it 2 more times and push the choke back in and barley crack her open and give her a kick , works every time.

man i am in no way calling you a liar but when i got mine i really really had no bottom end. you would have to slip the clutch bad or jsut pin it and dump it. maybe its like i say i am the poster boy for murphy's law. and yes i forgot to even think about the carbs loading up. you are exactly right. thanx for correctin me man.
