cobra_steven Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Well the 1997 banshee runs perfect when the lights are off Once it gets dark, I turn the lights on and it starts running like poo poo Almost even dies out....I'm assuming stator is going out? ? Is how to test or is it something else?? But then again...air filter was clogged pretty bad and I've had it run bad from a clogged filter before....just wanna try to cross my T and dot my I before I do this big ride Saturday! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks do you have aftermarket light maybe drawing to much power from the stator? or maybe your stator is starting to get weak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra_steven Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I'm really betting on the clogged filter...well hoping..I've got factory headlamps. I will eventually ride in the daytime to pinpoint when it happens but advice or tips are always good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheesandrider Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 For starters, the lighting circuit and the ignition/CDI circuit are totally seperate in the stator, so the lights cant rob power from the ignition. However you might want to check all of your grounds are good and clean. If the additional load from the lights can't get a good ground they could keep the ignition from grounding properly. It's kind of like on a trailer the turn signals work OK by themselves, but when the taillights are on the lights do weird things because you don't have a good ground.
