sredish Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 slow in the power i plan on checking the compession tonight do you think i would be the rings the motor is almost 4 years old and it is not like slow slow my friends just pull on me if it's 4 years old, and it's been ridden enough, the top end could be worn plenty. do check the compression and let us know where it's at. how do the plugs look, if it's running lean ,sometimes it will seem to run good, but not have as much power as it should.

nickxc Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 If your compression is up another thing it could be is your crank, A stock crank will twist if it hasnt been welded. I was told that and didnt believe it but I had a banshee that just seemed to get slower and slower and over the winter the only thing I did was have my crank trued and welded and the next spring I was pulling 3 or 4 bike lengths on my friends who where beeting me last year.
