Wiseco Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Hey everyone! I had my banshee for a a very short time and yet already having some weird problems. The banshee idles perfectly. But when i go for a ride.. it seems like something is going really wrong. It feels like an electrical problem.. when im in 5 or 6 gear the engine start acting weird like the gas is not going in the carbs anymore. Im not sure how to explain it exactly (im fench) it feels like the engine cut and come back really fast and non stop untill i stop giving it gas. The guy that sold me the banshee told me he cutted some wire between the two carbs .. im not sure what he was talking about exactly and what that wire was there for. the banshee is a 2002. i dont know if any of you guys will understand what im trying to explain! But thanks to anyone who will try to help me! Cant really ride the banshee like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thanks to anyone who will try to help me! Cant really ride the banshee like that What it sounds like to me is that your TORS or your parking brake switch is causing the problem. Look at the parking brake on the handle bar......if there are 2 wires coming out of it you can cut them to keep it from failing. With the TORS .....look under the left side of the gas tank towards the front of the bike....you should see a little black box.....unplug it. That is the throttle over ride system "brain" and when the black box itself is disconnected from the rest of the wiring it disables the TORS.

sleeper06 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 unplug the tors box for sure but if it lets you get into 6th and upper rpms then starts acting up could be ignition coil or plug caps,must ohm them out a very common problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheesandrider Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Whats your compression? If it is not actually cutting out and/or poppping and banging, it could just be a tired top end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
