another banshee newbie

[matnash]

hey guys( and girls)

i have an 06 banshee which is totally stock except for an aftermarket air filter, it will start first kick 95% of the time and idle nicely and rev out nicely,

my problem is i can be riding along on the dunes and on and off the gas and it has a tendency to die , almost like i hit the kill switch, and then wont start for a couple minutes and then its fine agai,n any ideas? also, with the stock pilot and main jets, can i take the snorkel off and have it still run at a good mix? could it be the useless TORS making my riding a little painful? cheers for the input in advance matty

First off you will need to bump up at least one size if not more by removing the snorkel as it does let in a lot more air. As far as the bike dying, the first place I would look is as you mentioned the TORS. One of my shees also an 06 was doing the same thing...dying as I would let off the throttle so I unplugged the tors unit (small black box mounted above the cylinder head next to ignition coil) & have not had a problem since. Problems with TORS are very common and are on the bike to begin with primarily for the lawyers. The TORS eliminator kits that you may have seen are to get rid of the clunky junk on top of the carb which I would also reccomend however simply unpluggign the unit will eliminate it 'electrically'

cheers for that sandman, i returned from a great session this arvo, snorkel off, id didnt skip a beat although did sound a little lean, will look at getting new jets this week, im also looking at doing the exhaust soon so i may just waity and then up the jets from there,

as for the tors, is it as simple as just unpluging the "brtain " module?

yes you can JUST unplug it.....but then you still wind up with all that stupid crap hanging ontop of your carbs and getting in the way. You can get the TORS removal kit which will replace the caps on the carbs to clean up the carb area and make the bike that much easier to work on...

What kind of vent is on your gas cap?

Make sure it is working.

i actually thought that could have been part of the problem, like it kept getting air locks , its just the standard cap with a shortened breather tube to be replaced with a billet one shortly,

cheers
