bansheeman1988 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Is this a common problem on banshee's? My throttle is about three times as hard to push as my buddies 400ex, whats the deal!! maybe a new cable would help? any suggestions would be appreciated!

Dave I. Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I dont know if there are any for stock carbs but for my pwk carbs Jeff at Fast sells springs called (easy springs). Might be worth calling him and see if he has some. They made a big difference on my carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I bought my bike it came with a honda thumb throttle already on it. Its really easy to push. I have ridden a few stock banshees and the honda throttle seems to be way easier. Plus its smaller and looks nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzai272 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 my first time out riding my brand new banshee was sore as hell on my thumb. I removed TORS and installed an extended billet thumb lever and its much much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
