[Yoko]

I'm owning a 99 banshee and live in Quebec, i ride my bike even -20 celcius but the gaz get stugk when full open. Don't know if it's because of the condensation or the cold and the hot temperature of the engine...Anybody have an idea to stop that problem??? Thanks

First, make sure your cable is in good shape and not kinked or routed wrong. Then I would lube it really well with WD-40 as it will displace water. Make sure the carb slides, springs, and main bodies where the slide contacts are not worn or coroded. Check for the same in the throttle housing.

The carbs internal have been cleaned up after christmas and jetted for winter but the cable seems to travel freely but when it stucks i use an hairdryer on the carbs and i hear something like (took) and the cable and the internals of the carbs return in place. I'will try to get a new cable ,lube it right and route it correctly,maybe it'll be helful. Thanks

Sounds like water in the cable is freezing. Use a cable luber and lots, and I do mean lots of WD-40. WD stands for Water Displacer....that's what it was originally designed to do.
