Banshee's first day out...Didnt start off well

So i had my shee out yesterday for an actual ride with my brother and some friends and to say the least it was not a good day....At first.

I warm the shee up about 15 mins made sure the radiator was pretty warm and head out and at first it was running like a champ then all of a sudden it died and felt like the tranny locked up so i pulled the clutch and coasted to the side and it fired right back up took it home and it did it again tested the ignition and it was all in spec pulled the stator cover and seems a sticker that i had put on the flywheel came off and blocked the pickup coil figured that out went back riding and this time it felt like it was losing spark up top rpm but idled and reved in neutral fine.So i started tracing ignition/wiring harness and low and behold the wiring harness had fell down and got against the pipe and melted to it due to one of the clamps i didnt have tight enough.So it let the orange + coil wire to ground out on the pipe.

Fixed that and looked the quad over me and my little brother and everything was tight and looked good and holy hell this thing flies!!!!!!!!!!!!Bottom end isnt torquey enough but from what i gather the t5's are a mid/top end pipe.

Definately very very fast quad considering the mods arent real extensive yet.This winter im sending the jugs to ken for a port job and possibly some sort of big bore kit but for right now im very happy with it!I:I

That's cool. It's the little overlooked details that will bite you in the ass.

Hell yea thanks bro!Shees brutal on the pipe ive not got to hit full throttle much more than second or two im still breaking it in but when it comes on the pipe its like a nitrous hit i love it.Im used to the blaster which runs out of steam days before the shee.The she revs for what seems like forever.I cant wait to get the jugs to ken and the cool head with 21cc domes!

Yea the clamp was tight but thats what i get for thinking lol just hadnt fully compressed the clamp to grip the frame.But hey much better a burnt wire and not a blown top end which would have sucked major ass
