blaster2006 Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Fuck that dude and his bike.You'll prolly be sorry in the future if you buy his bike. Banshees have come pretty far down in price lately. I bought my 1998 in 2005 for just over 4k. It was in good shape, ran great, looked good and all and since then I have done alot of mods to it. I see them all the time for 500 to 1k less than I originally paid with more mods than I curently have. Hang in there and buy right ! You'll be alot happier. BTW, I have seen a couple nice ones in the BHQ for sale forums that are not that far off in price than what you seem to be willing to pay. Most of these guys really take great care of their bikes. Check it out......... :thumbsup: i wish i was in the US. i drool on all the insanely cheap banshee prices on ebay. its cause of the financial crisis imo. it ddnt really hit us here in the middle east, so quads are HIGH. if that shee was like 2k$, i woulda bought it without thinking, its casue he wanted 3,800... and thats the median prices of shees around here. the 07 and 08 shees are like... lol.. like $5,500... with pipes and filter. when i can buy brand spankin new at $6,500. retarded pricing here. but HEY, i sold my blaster for $2,200 xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have patience!! trust me, there is SHITLOADS. i really mean shitloads, in the very small country i live in, i guess theres maybe about 100 for sale, but not all of which i know of, but many many of them really plain out SUCK. alot of them dont even start, they look mint but dont even start.... i ignore those. going right now, soon, to see the first shee i saw, for a second time, i kinda forgot it, but from what i rememebr, like isaid, its the best one i think, other than the rear axle being rusted, aswell as chain, motor wise, its very mint imo, if he gives me a good price ill buy it. ill keep you guys updated. that one, i remember, took 3 kicks with choke to start, knowing that he ddnt ride it for about 3 months, from what he said, and i think i beleive him.

blaster2006 Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) update:: just came back, shee was ... it seemed good... took 2 kicks to fire it up... i rode it, everything was mint, other than the same problem as i had before... in 1st and sometimes 2nd gear, it sometimes like, turns off, i then quickly push the throttle in ( after it turns off), nothing happens for 1 second... (even after i pushed it in) then it quickly like jumps and pulls and turns back on... so it basically turns off for a split second... then turns back on... but on high revs it never happens ( notice this is not from mistakes in take off from idle, once im moving and the clutch is fully out it also happens), it mostly happens when im driving slow on 1st and turning,, it like slightly turns off like i said, i give it gas, and still for 0.5-1 sec its still off, the jumps, all the other gears and the rest of the ride is pretty much great, and accelerates fassssttt... on the higher gears... smooth ride too. So tell me guys, is this problem easy to fix? imo its a carb problem, what kind of jet is it? pilot? needle? the thing is stock so i dont think he ever changed any jet in it... if its easy to fix ill take it tomorow then lol. ive got some pics, of it, which cant really tell anything, but for the hell of it ill post em up. oh, and for some weird reason, he sprayed the whole thing with WD-40, everything, pipes carbs cylinders. everything. if it looks really clean, thats why hehe, just thought id say. oh and, one thing is, if this might help, he is leaving it in his garage, and he isnt riding itm, he had it there for manybe 1-2 months not riding it, with the fuel petcock on ON. just to let you guys know, cause ie heard thats bad for plugs or something, if you keep the fuel petcock on ON and leave it for a long time?

The cutting in and out is the TORS messing up on it. I am 99.9% sure because mine did the same thing. If you go up under the left side under the tank and unplug it this will stop. It's thinking the throttle is stuck open so it cuts it off. As for the WD40, that's an old trick that I do as well. WD40 on the bikes will protect it, make it shiny and mud won't stick to it as well so cleaning it is much easier. I've never put it on my pipes but I do apply it to the plastics and motor. I got the tip here on HQ back in 2001 and have done it every since. I say go for it on that Banshee, it looks nice to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonsBanshee Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 i guess since its a jetting problem id be better off posting in that section.. ill make a new topic, and hopefully get answers I don't feel it's a jetting problem. It's the TORS. At least it was on mine. If it's turning off, it's electrical. Easy fix, just unplug it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy fix, just unplug it. come to think about it, i think its really not on low throttle, cause if it was it would happeon on all gears, its low RPM, cause, on 3rd gear + you cant really be on low rpms or it will turn off form bog and being too slow on that gear. here is the post i made describing it better http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=106779 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
