Man..your a life saver I couldn’t figure my issue out and this was it..!!1 min fix!!
I just cut the wire and fixed the problem, thanks for sharing your knowledge
This video helped me 3 years later after you posted. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.
Bro saved my life🙏🏽
Thanks man for all theses great videos my bike hasn’t had theses problems but I still watch them and know more about banshee pretty soon I am gonna build a motor myself to learn!!!
Thank you for all the help you have very good tips my banchee runs great thank you
Sweet, will be cutting that on both mine
Thanks bro!!! Nice tip video
Man that bike is amazing. Live the color. Do you have a video out on how to get rid of the parking brake?
By the way I watched your video on buying a banshee and the guy pulled it up to my truck shut the gas off and ran it out of gas like you said but I planned on carb rebuild anyway
That was funny about forgeting to hooking up CDI
Thanks for the tip 💪🏽💪🏽
Ur videos are the best man thanks for all ur help with ur videos and how you explain makes it so easy it awesome man
Hey, this my problem. I unplugged it en it runs great again. Thanks a lot
Thank u
You're the shit!
Wow this just made my day mine’s started doing this when I first got it so I thought it was a top end put it on I started it it did the same thing ima try this I appreciate u
What are your thoughts on Boost Bottles for the banshee? Investment or waste of money? Thanks for all videos, has helped me out a lot
Winden Trimble
Not worth the money or effort of buying and installing them. All they are is a fancy gimmick. Stock crossover tubes are the best way to go.✌🏽✌🏽
Thank u
Sweet👍👍
Awesome thank u. And what size jets do you recommend for 1000 ft elevation
I just has the same issue , it ran great and then a few hours later it would bog , I cleaned the carb , filter and changed plugs, nothing changed, then I unplugged the parking brake connection and it runs great now
I cut the green wire with the yellow line in the middle it actually made it worst. Possible bad CDI. What do you think? It is doing exactly like the one you showed. just worst when cutting the line
Would have to be a bad CDI. It’s probably shorted to ground internally.
@@kevingalindo1 Thanks, just order a new box.
Hey bro I have a question my banshee reves fine in neutral but when I put it into first gear it bogs down my mechanic said it could be my aftermarket cdi box dyna. Do U have any idea of what it could be really need some help. Thank u.
I don’t have the green wire with the yellow tracer and I still have the same problem
great videos ! im happy i found your channel !!! i just bought a 2000 banshee all stock,even exhaust,,its been worked on thou has parking brake delete and led lights ,my question is where is the key? its running without a key? cant get ahold of previous owner.
I'm happy to see you back on track, and i'll take this chance to ask you if a certain bike is in need of a much larger main jet then usual for the mods it has, if that is not an indication of a worn engine and that you must consider engine top end rebuild sooner than later.

Not necessarily, what determines engine health is compression. However for example if the engine has 18cc domes and is only making 120 psi, it’s tired and definitely time for a rebuild even though 120 is perfect for a stock head engine. That engine should be making 195 or so at sea level. The loss of compression comes from excessive ring end gap and glazed cylinders. This is just an example, as I have no idea what mods your engine has.
What makes you say it has way too much main for what it should call for? What are your mods, elevation and current jetting?
South Texas Banshee i've taken into consideration the main jet sizes that some bikes with similar mods end up with. When i've got my jet kit, ( stage 3, FMF & DJ), the instructions mentioned that the provided 340 main was for modified motors ( stroked, ported and so on) and that the 280 would work fine for my intake and exhaust aftermarket stuff. Well, once i've asked you advice for where to go in main jet size to achieve better performance, i find the engine perfectly happy with a 340 main and the stock needlle lowered one position from stock setting, for the following mods:
stock head and compression; FMF sst pipes & pc2 silencers; k&n air filter on proflow adapter in a vented airbox; vforce 3 reeds; adv timing by 3 deg; and thats pretty much it. Elevation is around 1000 ft

Did that jet kit come with a needle as well?
Jets kits are pretty much a Hail Mary TBH, they’re more a waste of money then anything else. It’s odd how they supply the jets that they do. For instance they jump from a 280 all the way to a 340, they’ve skipped 5 jet sizes in doing so.
For your mods 340 should be pretty rich. Your on the right track by lowering the needle one groove because with that large of a main, the needle will bring the main on faster. So, by dropping the needle some you’ve compensated for that. I can’t really say what mains would be close for you with a vented box, I’ve never run that setup. I will say that with your mods and no lid on the box, anything from a 290-310 should be sufficient. All engines are different though and will require different jetting even if both engine have the same mods.
A plug chop would be best to determine where you need to be. If you don’t want to do that, here’s what I would do.
Keep going up on the main jet a size at a time until the engine no longer wants to rev cleanly, it’ll start breaking up. Then step down to the next size that it runs well. Stop there and call it good. You will be jetted rich enough you run the bike year round in winter and summer.
South Texas Banshee my suspects of an worn engine arise from the difficulty in starting a cold engine, when some bikes featured on your videos start at first kick and they give an impression of a strong and stable idle right away, mine is nothing like that.
South Texas Banshee and yes the jet kit included the longer 6 groove needles, but to be able to run them with the clip on the 4th groove, i need to drop the main 2 sizes leaner, and the performance ends up better at half throttle, which seems stange to me. I find the current setup the best, after a lot of trial and error.
Hello Banshee master! Excellent videos, and super helpful. Id like to thank you for what ive already learned from just watching them 👍🏼.
However i just bought a banshee that wont rev out from mid to top. Tors and handbrake deleted. Prev owner bought new stator, cdi, i think trying to fix the problem? I didnt gun it when i test rode it and should have😖.
It has what looks like ported intake, t5 pipes, and supposed overbore? I will be looking at carb jetting to see what it has. But was hoping you could maybe point me in the right direction on what to check? It wont rev past what seems like half of what it’s supposed to. It has lots of low end power, but thats it. I have to switch gears way to fast.
Any help id greatly appreciate.
Did you find the problem? Mine is doing same thing. Idle is good. Bottom is good. mid is good. Nice and crisp. But when it gets 2/3 through the rpm it goes flat. Like it's sleeping. I'm curious what was creating your situation.
@@Floridawoodsbanshee yes! I never would have thought since letting the clutch out i would feel it bite. However under acceleration it was the clutch that was slipping. Changed the clutch to an R1 kit, and man it locks in and flies now. I guess it was revving out the whole time. Just slipping clutch.
Hope this helps?
@@arrepuess thanks
have a 2006, never had a problem with her bought brand new. Took a 2-year vacay and she started up but wouldn't idle. Rode around for a couple hours. Then she wouldn't start. Changed plugs, and cleaned crabs. Then found a striped connector for the right tors. Started to turn idle on tors. That seemed to work then came a back fire and like a POOF of air from right exhaust. It started making that booging sound like rev limiter. started disconnecting tors and from the throttle. Still backfires and Poofing air from the right exhaust. Any ideas?
I live in Phoenix, AZ, any shops or you know anyone over here u trust to work on bikes?? Thank You
Thankyou man!
When u build a motor for a customer do you keep the VIN for your records?
Glad to see you back man! Do you remember what tires your running or where you got them?
Great video. I have the same problem but I don’t have that green wire by the cdi. You have any suggestions what else could be the issue? Thanks for your time.
Does this only apply to bikes that have gotten rid of the parking break? Does the parking break rev limiter affect performance? If the tors is removed does that mean the parking break rev limiter is gone ?
Hey I know it's a old video but I figured I would try . So I bought a banshee its starts fine idles good but when you go to take off usually about the time the power band kicks in it want to bog down and fall on its face the motor has been rebuild 2 years ago its got a cool head on it some pwk 28mm carbs and a off brand cdi just trying to get a idea of what could be wrong
Sorry, I don't know where to ask you questions on here but what brand paint do you recommend for a arms and swing arm. Also do you have a pancake bearing install video. Thanks
car buyer
if your looking for a stock paint color like silver you can use VHT brand and number SP735.
I don’t have a single video for the pancake installation, but I have a couple that help ya get it done. I will post the links in the next comment.
This will get ya town down, just watch the part where I pull the clutch cover and pressure plate. If you already know how to do that than the actual pancake install is easy. I’ll post how to adjust it below.

Ok, Thanks
Here’s how to adjust it

To install it in the pressure plate the order is
The pusher, washer, bearing, washer, pressure plate.
car buyer
Here’s the tear down my bad

hey man could you do an entirely dissassembly video of one of your bikes if you one day have the chance because i would like to know how to dissassemble mine im only 17 and I really want to know.
Gary Winthorpe
They’re not in order but here they are man. Complete bike down to bare frame.

Were do u gat the wire harness for the cdi I have a 95 to 96 cdi I want gat connectors to change that my brother's got the newer style that you have on the u show on the video I've been looking online to find connectors for it to change it
What if the wire is all green and not green and yellow
Country Boy
Solid green wire is headlight low beam
Same my 1987 banshee has no green/yellow wire. Tried cutting the green and bike wont start had to splice back together..
hi i had a question i clipped the green and yellow wire but now my bike revs up super high ?
Have a question got an 99 just rebuilt the top end with a cool head thanks to your videos. Put a billet impeller running blue ice coolant. The bike still reaching 215 degrees and it's about 75 out. Also I have some oil dripping out exhaust tips and ideas what it can be? Thank you
Albert Ochoa
I would try a different radiator, it’s possible yours could be plugged up some.
Just bought a bike. Has trued and welded crank, milled head, reworked reeds, mild play port, CPI drag pipes, tors removed, 350 mains, HD clutch. Anything you can tell me about this motor or advice to offer. Bike runs great I was just wondering what my next motor upgrade could be. Thanks
Winden Trimble
step up to a set of 28mm pwk carbs. Can’t beat them. Don’t go too big in the carbs, you’ll gain some topend, but you’ll sacrifice bottom and midrange. 28’s will be great all around.
What do run in your bike I run klots
I have 350 main jet in stock carbs now
I just got an 02 banshee and the clutch just got stuck and won't disengage. Anyone have any ideas on what to start looking for.
Funny, the next quick tip covers this, well sort of depending on your exact issue.
When you say it won’t disengage what exactly do you mean? Is the lever floppy? Does the lever feel good but when you pull the clutch in, the bike still goes or your not able to put it in gear without stalling the engine?
It worked then the lever got floppy and when it goes in gear it dies. It's moving where it goes into the case but it won't disengage inside somewhere.
car buyer man it sounds like the clutch rod/ball welded on you.
What's the fix for it
The ball is welded to the rod on the pressure plate and they came out. What do you recommend I order to fix this. Also it has a new asv clutch lever adjusted all the way out and still needs to go out more but i dont know where to take up the rest of the slack. Thanks for the help
do you by chance know how to control the "rev limit" imposed by the cdi?
great video!! i have a question, what if it does revs but bogs down then bogs back up then when you go to ride it it stalls out
Tom,Sounds like a jetting issue, could be too small of a pilot or possibly may even need some tuning on the needle.
South Texas Banshee ok thank you
Hey banshee master. Have a question do you have a set of case you would like to get rid off?
Juan Guerrero
No i sure don’t
How do I tell what size my carbs are?? Just bought the bike and previous owner wasn’t sure. I know the main jet is size 350
Winden Trimble
If they have the choke tube connecting the 2 carbs then they are the stock 26’s other wise you’ll have to use dial calipers to measure the inside diameter of the side that god into the intake boots.
How much can I get a set of 28s for? Would you ship?
Aren’t stock carbs 28 mm???
Winden Trimble
Stock are Mikuni VM 26mm
How you been?
a a hangin in there man, been taking it easy the past couple months. Need to get my 4 mil back together. Haven’t touched it since I came back from Oregon.
