shogs Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 Heres the deal. I just got a new banshee about 3 weeks ago and noticed a few funny sounds and some backfiring. This being my first banshee I had no real place to turn other than a shop that sells powersports. I told them it backfired, I possibly heard engine knocking, and it doesn't show its full potential. 2 weeks and 400 dollars later I get my banshee back with new needle valves and cleaned carbs. No backfiring, but same power problem, anything over 1/4 throttle it wants to die. Its thought to have almost everything possible done to it and jetted perfectly to go along with it. It currently doesnt have an airbox lid and its runnin a k&n ( I have woods ). Am I on the right track gettin a foam filter, airbox lid, and it rejetted? Its synced to perfection and I KNOW it has more potential. Any advice would be helpful. Also does anybody know if i can find actual proof of it being an alba racing banshee without taking the engine apart? Thanks I look forward to hearing from you guys. :biggrin: Quote
shee4speed Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 400 bucks? Damn. Well I think you should keep the filter and box the way it is and find out what jets are in there. What pipes are on it? Whats your elevation? Did the shop give any info on the jets? Show some pics so we can check her out. Quote
shogs Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Posted July 25, 2008 im not possitive what jets are in it since sadly I had to buy it used...it was a decent deal though. 2,000 and 200 bucks to deliver it 400 miles the next day. Its got fmf fatty pipes, boost bottle, stage 3 reeds, possibly bored and stroked by alba racing ( HOPEFULLY : P ). Tons of other stuff that i'm just a little uneducated about. As for elevation i live in northern virginia i think its pretty reasonable weather. 60-90 through summer Quote
Snopczynski Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 check the silencers and stinger tubes for being plugged. What pipes are on it? Quote
LS1Inferno Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 yeah we really need to know the jetting to help, and get rid of the boost bottle BRABB LOL Quote

05.Banshee.SE Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 Congrats on getting a Banshee. You have now only begun to start living your life, haha. Don't bring it to the shop... I have full faith in most of the guys on here, that they can save you a bunch of money and trouble. Do what they say, and you can't go wrong. Edit--post on here first when you have a problem before fixing it yourself, or going to a shop. Quote

LS1Inferno Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 lol ill get rid of it asap if u guys fill me in with why there horrible. Fair? they make it hard to get an accurate tune. and they rip intake boots causing air leak, which leads to burning up the bike, they also rub on your throttle cable, and fuel line and anything else near it.

Is there a stock part that would replace where the boost bottle was? Im not with my shee right now and not tryin to sound stupid at the same time...lol. Yea ive had a little trouble with my throttle cable but not too much. Ill be sure to take it off the day I get my air box lid, filter, and rejet it : P. Quote
