boonman Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Advancing the timing may make it start harder. Retarding the timing will make it start easier... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDD Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Jeff my X gf could start her Banshee pretty easily even though she weighed 100#s. This might be more of a matter of kicking technique rather than actual issues with the machine. My X's Banshee was set up like yours but had the timing advanced a few degrees (3-4). She had a hard time starting it at first as she was more trying to kick straight down instead of back and down. If you have no problems starting it then maybe you need to work with her on kicking.

Rescuejeff Posted April 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Goiod idea, she was able to kick it to start with no problems before we put the new pipes on, but has been getting worse and worse over the last year. Your missies was slightly smaller than mine, nice to have small girls hu??? . Thanks for all the info I will be doing some more research on the bike this weekend.
