#11 banshee Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hey guys I need help. I am new to this. I just recently had my whole engine taken apart to get it polished. At the same time I had the cylinders ported. I picked up the bike today tried to take it for a ride but could'nt.. I can ride the bike in first gear as long as I dont accelerate to much but as soon as I gas it to take off hard the bike completely dies. I tried taking off like that 3 times and same result. I got tired of pushing the bike back home. I only tried that in first gear, i assumed in all gears it would do the same when gassed hard. Banshee is an 04 with toomey t6, vforce reeds 3, port job, new cdi box. Was told by the mechanic that they also mill the head. help please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you running stock carbs? Zac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96dragbanshee Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 i agree jetting is probably your problem. Unplug the tors if it isnt already. That is the biggest pile of shit ever put on a banshee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#11 banshee Posted July 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Yeah Im still running the stock carbs and the tors have been disconnected for a long time. So you guys think its my jetting and not something electrical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#11 banshee Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 I could not take the bike to the shop today but i did speak to the mechanic and mentioned what the bike was doing and asked if he though it was the jetting. He said he did not think it was the jetting. He said that it was probably electrical because if it was the jetting (to lean or to rich mixture) that the bike would sputter or bog instead of just completely dying out. What do you guys think?

axhole Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 you can try this ,i had a problem running my banshee above half throttle to full throttle it would just die like it was running out of gas i took the stock gas cap off and took the little phillips screws out to remove the breather once the that was gone out of the gas cap i never had another problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strokersquid Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 do banshees have vacuum petcocks like rzs do ? if so make sure the vacuum line is on the tap or try it in prime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheeryder21 Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 (edited) Take it back and have him fix it. I'd be pissed if I were you! Spend the money to get your bike built and get it back in a non running state! That's some BS!!! I'd be chewing some ass for sure!!! That's my 5 cents! As for your problem, let the shop deal with it and ask for a couple free services or something for them fu##ing up!

creamsickle Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 ok so the cutting out, does it happen when ou slam the throttle? and by slam I mean go from almost idle to like full throttle. what if you try to just slowly raise the rpms until its pegged. cause if it works when you slowly rev it thenn you have a clogged jet or a faulty reed. and get back on it to see if it does it in other gears. could also be the vapor lock like the guys were saying above. but you need to narrow down the span of rpms that it happens. low throttle only or high end only? does it matter if I slam the throttle or slowly accelerate? if you punch it at the top end(assuming you can get it there) does it bog out again?
