Mattsbanshee Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I was driving my banshee and it didnt seem to have power? i was in 4th and pretty much to the handle and was going only 30km? but it would somtimes kick in and almost send me off the bike, what could possibly be wrong?

rjdgriff Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Was it cutting out? Or just not kicking in? Or what? What's your air filter set up? Post more details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsbanshee Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) everything is stock but my pipes! and not just cutting out completely it would have no power and then kick in and take off then die again, i think im only fireing on one piston Edited February 20, 2012 by Mattsbanshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 do you have tors? what jets are in it, elevation, and temp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsbanshee Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'm not sure about my jetting, and I live in Newfoundland and its winter here now so it's fairly cold! I'm also new to a banshee I've heard and drive them before and seen them scrapped but never owned one to have a problem so if I have to ask question please bear with me!

rjdgriff Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Ok well if you havnt changed your jetting ever you may have been running to lean in the cold weather. What do your spark plugs look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsbanshee Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 My plugs are good I cleaned the caps as everything but still runs bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjdgriff Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Using airbox and lid? If so clean your filter and don't put the lid on your airbox, give that a try. Eliminate the easy stuff first and if that fails then start thinking bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry's Shee Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 16 hours from first post till it was in a shop didn't give much time to solve the problem. Hope you didn't get the infamous mechanic Ben Dover. JMHO, your results may, and will vary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
