Check your wiring harness to make sure it’s not grounding out anywhere and check for broken wires or loose connections. Also if you have a friend that has a banshee try swapping out the ignition coil. Even though it’s new they can’t be trusted especially when it comes to aftermarket coils. When it comes to electrical parts it should only be OEM.

Check with these guys for a rear oem shock. I bought from both these companies before and they are great people. https://westcoastatvparts.com/ https://redo-parts.com/

That looks like some kind of a front shock that is put in upside down.

J-arm Banshees were produced from 1987-1990 then in 1991 Yamaha introduced the Banshee with A-arms. Can you post a picture of the area where the VIN # are ? I got an idea what the previous owner could have done.

Leave them at the length they are and just fold them back against the harness and then wrap them up in electrical tape.

According to the diagram in my clymer repair manual it says the yellow wire with red stripe and the plain yellow wire goes to the light dimmer switch.

I know that this isn’t a Banshee it’s my neighbors Blaster that has son rides. What do you think caused this? I know what caused it. But do you? The top end was just rebuilt at a local dealership 3 weeks ago. Carburetor is jetted a little on the rich side and the engine was properly broken in with a 24:1 ratio using Motul 710. The dealership did a bore .040 on a OEM Cylinder installed a Wiseco piston kit. They called the dealership and told them that the work they did failed. They told him that they must of not broke it in and must of rode it balls to the wall and they are not covering it. So I took on the job to fix it the proper way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They both work great if they are installed correctly.

If you push on the stuck clutch push rod does it move inside the Mainshaft? It’s more than likely that the end of the clutch push rod that makes contact with clutch release lever is mushroomed. If the clutch push rod is severely mushroomed then you will need to split the cases to get the clutch push rod out.

What does it look like when you look into the mainshaft where you have to slide the clutch push rod and clutch ball?

Get yourself a good pair of vise grips and try to clamp it on what is sticking out. Try to lock the vise grips on as tight as possible then try pulling it out and wiggle it as you are pulling it. A few months back I was working on a neighbor’s Banshee with a clutch problem that was almost similar to your problem and I did this to get the clutch push rod out.

Take the clutch release lever and look at it for any type of damage. If there’s no signs of damage then put it on the side for now. How much of the clutch push rod is sticking out?

What you need to do is disconnect the clutch cable from the clutch release lever (the lever that’s down on the engine under the left carburetor) to to release the tension on the clutch release lever. Then check to see if the lever moves left to right. You can also try wiggling it left to right and at the same time try getting the clutch push rod out with the magnet as you are wiggling the lever. If the clutch release lever doesn’t move then remove the bolt and hold down bracket and then release the spring and try pulling lever up. Just be careful because there is a seal and a bearing under the lever.

With the clutch taken apart now does the clutch lever pull in ? If it does then have someone pull the clutch lever in and release the clutch lever and then look at the clutch rod and see if it’s moves in and out. If it does then pull the clutch lever in and that should make it clutch rod move outward then reach in with a pair of needle nose pliers and pull the clutch rod out or you can also use a piece of 5/16 rubber hose and use it to remove the clutch rod .
