01BANSHEE49660 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Well first of all i am new to this forum site. My name is Shawn and im from Manistee Mi. Well yesterday i got my first Banshee it's an 01. My question is that when i start it and let it warm up for a minute and try to rev it a little bit she revs way up and does not come back down. I know that it is sticking but what is causing it? Is it becuase i didn't let it warm up enough or is it becuase it is really cold outside? Could someone help me figure this out? Thanks Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcardracing Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Clean your carbs real good, moisture gets in the slide bore and will cause them to hang up and stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01BANSHEE49660 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 What is a slide bore and what does it do? I was told the carbs were just cleaned. Would some fresh gas in the tank help? It is pretty low on gas right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bansheeman1988 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Has it been rejeted for the cold weather? What he ^ said, and take your slides out and make sure they are clean and polished up. Also what jets are you running, any mods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01BANSHEE49660 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 It is all stock except for the twin pipes. Would the jetting cause it to rev way up like that though? Does anyone have a pic of where the slides are so i can check into that? (this is my first banshee) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have a pic of where the slides are so i can check into that? (this is my first banshee) They are underneath of the caps that screw on top of your carbs, after they have been apart you will have to sync your carbs again (make sure the slides are at exactly the same height and open at exactly the same time) You might want to invest in a Clymers manual for your bike, it will explain all of this.

jesse1004 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Before you tear you bike apart be sure to check your cable and make sure it just doesnt need an adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthemail Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 new shee eh? heres some steps i think of in order as to what ya should do. check that oil, your drain plug is located on the underside of th case. its a 16mm bolt i believe. drain just a bit and check its consistency. ideally, it should have close to no metal shavings in it, and should NOT be milky looking. shiny and lubey is great. (if its shit, change it!) check to make sure your airfilter is clean and properly installed. check to see your boots leading from air intake to carbs are all the way on and properly installed. carbs, take your time here and absorb everything you can about them. work slowly, clean them yourself. 1. remove the carbs from the intake system leaving the cables and tops attached. 2. slowly unscrew the tops from the carb bodies, your throttle cable will remain attached to the SLIDE, which holds the needle and such. the spring will not fly away. 3. now you have 2 "supposedly" clean carb bodies. the left side carb has the choke assembly attached, becareful not to lose the tube conecting the 2 carbs. it makes the choke work on the right carb via vaccum pressure. 4. find a nice clean work area and begin by removing the bowls being careful to not tear the gaskets here. they cant be reversed so a good idea is to write l and r on a piece of paper. i put the screws in the bowls and drop the l paper in the left bowl and the r paper in the right bowl so i remember. 5. i havent had my carbs apart for a while so a step by step from here on is up to the guys.... basically, just slowly disassemble the parts of each carb taking care to keep left parts to the left side ofme and right parts to the right side of me. clean EVERYTHING with a good soaking of carb cleaner in an icecream tub. use a toothbrush to break up any crap and wash the parts off with a shot of cleaner as you re assemble the carbs with cleaned parts! il post more in a bit. that should get you started. other reasons for a rev up include air leaks, cable binding (alot of the times poor routing can cause a rev everytime you turn to the left) the TORS system can cause reving. loose carb tops made mine rev like a fucker once day. all kinds of things! glad to hear ya got yourself a 2 stroke bud! we have your answers!

01BANSHEE49660 Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I really appreciate all the help. These questions i have been asking maybe dumb to some but im new i guwss...What is the TORS? what does it do? I have been doing a little bit of reading but nothing telling me what exactly it does. I know they sell a kit on ebay to remove it. Is that a common thing that goes wrong on these? I have been looking around for a Clymers manual for my shee.

inthemail Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 .What is the TORS? what does it do? I have been doing a little bit of reading but nothing telling me what exactly it does. TORS is short for throttle override system, thats what it does. there are a whole bunch of switches routed in the electrical that basically just take a charge and draw power. it doesnt alow the bike to rev with the parking brake pulled in im pretty sure. the first thing i did was remove all of its crap. this includes the big junky bulky carb tops, a bunch of wiring, a control unit, a couple switches, and of course, the parking brake assembly! if your looking for a good mod. the removal kit is it. add an aluminum clutch perch and a parking brake block off and youve sucessfulyl shed at least a pound or more and added alot of simplicty to your shee!

01BANSHEE49660 Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 When you buy the kit does it come with instructions? Could that cause my bike to rev way up if i don't have the parking brake on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthemail Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 the kit is really simple to install anyone on the boards would be able to help you. the tors just may be whats making it rev. but that would only be if your carb tops arent sealing correctly to the carb body. my problem was the threads on the tors caps became worn down and shitty. the pressure from the slides return spring kept popping the top off. any problem with reving without the throttle is usually caused by an air leak.

01BANSHEE49660 Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Mine does not rev on it's own. It's only when i touch the throttle. If i really really gently touch the throttle it does not do it but i push on it with any force at all it revs way up. But it does not rev up on it's own. Could it be that becuase it is only like 20 degrees here cause it to act up? So you think that i should just go ahead and get that kit? Are there different ones? I see that there are some on ebay but they are different costs, i didn't know if there is a difference. How long does it take to install this kit?
