pasedogg Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 so i was rippin my banshee all weekend, kept it somewhat cool by takin breaks, but ya at the end of the weekend, me and my buddy had a straight up drag race for about 1 mile.this was after rippin all day with a few short breaks, when i got back there was smoke slowly seaping out of the pipes,never had it happen, but never drove the fast for that long either, i also notced before the weekend, that one side smokes more then the other, sometimes only ones smoking, is this cus the coolent runs through one side first or is there a ring problem or something, just wana keep my quad healthy after a longweekend,.

LS1Inferno Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 what do you mean by seeping out of the pipe, if one side smokes and the other doesnt, whats the compression on both, sync the carbs. and PLEASE tell me you dont have a boost bottle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasedogg Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 ya i got a boost bottle. and ya, when i first start up the bike the left side i think smokes and the other barely smokes.and afer the race when i turned the bike off, it looked like the pipes had left over smoke in it and it was slowly smoking out the silencer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddleboy Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 (edited) i think its pretty normal for one side to smoke more then the other right after start up but after it warms it shouldnt be noticable. as for the smoke seeping out of the silencers that wouldnt mean that the bike is overheating if thats what you were worried about. maybe you need to repack your silencers?

xXBlessedWithDeathXx Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 whats wrong with a boost bottle?? i seen the intake ripped where the boost bottle goes in. probably from vibration. once ripped it will suck air and in return lean out. causing you to blow a piston and spend money on what could have bin avoided just by using a crossover tube.

2001Stroker Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Mine does the same thing. If I run it real hard for a long time, it will smoke. Sometimes it does it from one pipe, and sometimes from both. I think it's just unburnt oil in the pipes getting so hot that it burns out of them. It ain't a big deal. It worried me the first time I seen it happen, but now it doesn't even phase me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pasedogg Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 that might be it. what about suspension. i have elkas that got on the bike, and im not sure how to set them, i went to the softest setting and set them but my buddy says not to do them like that he picked mine up of the gropund and watched how the shocks droped and adjusted from there, but he didnt know either what to do, we found the bottom dial, i need an idiots guide to elkas, how to set them for what conditions.
