01 Blue Screaming Banshee Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Hey, I need a 5 or 6 gallon and a 1 gallon gas can. I also need something to mix my oil and gas. I just got my banshee today. The guy has the carbs drained out. What should I do before I ride it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frocashmoney24 Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 before u ride it, just put some gas in the tank, turn on the gas, and idk where u r but if its cold open the choke, if not dont, and hold the throttle like a quarter open to get some gas in the carbs, then when it starts let it idle for about 4 mins and let her rip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Hey, I need a 5 or 6 gallon and a 1 gallon gas can. I also need something to mix my oil and gas. I just got my banshee today. The guy has the carbs drained out. What should I do before I ride it? Thanks I use a Maxima mix bottle to mix with. I put in the amount I need and put on the cap. When I'm ready to mix, I just pour into the jug and then the fuel. The cap is nice and you can keep it in there until you need it. Of course, I don't store oil in there, but if I need to transport a little bit for later use, it's way easy. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonman Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 I use my ratio rite, and 5 or 6 gallon cans. I keep my race fuel stored in VP fuel jugs. Or, in a 55 gallon drum. Then, I have a 6 gallon can to mix oil and fuel in. I also have a slew of 5 gallon cans that I keep 94 octane in. I just use the ratio rite for 2.5 gallons, and dump it twice for a 5 gallon mix. Got to do it twice, but it's not a big deal........ Oh yea, FYI, I mix my fuel of VP C-12 50/50 with 94 octane pump fuel at 40:1 with Klotz Super Techniplate oil.

blk02banshee Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 As far as gas cans, The VP jugs or similar ones are definately the way to go. They're not that much more in price than the normal gas can you buy at wal-mart, but they are DEFINATELY worth the money! After owning one, I don't think I could ever buy another cheap gas can.

Ducman Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 The ratio rite cups are cheap to buy, simple and straight forward to use. I like the race style 5 gal jugs with the large screw cap and the 2 ft. weenie style spout. You never spill or drip putting gas in the bike and they will also put the fuel in faster. There about $25 though but well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
