hey i have a brand new 05 banshee and im pretty new to this. my shee is smoking out of both pipes equally but alot of smoke? can somenone tell me wats going on and how to fix it.

 

Thats normal, its the oil when it burns, it burns a blue smoke and will be very noticalbe when you warm your machine up or get on the gas hard. What premix are you using??? because yamaha suggests a really high oil to gas mixture I use 32:1 and thats what all my buddies use also.

 

I am running 32:1 with yamalube and it does only smoke bad when i get into the gas, but it seems like its smoking more than it should? is that still normal?

 

Its should smoke, all banshees smoke like crazy. But what do you mean by more than normal, what are you compairing it to???????

 

Well im not positive but i think its smoking more than it did like last week. Is there a setting or something that could be wrong to make it smoke?

 

Theres no settings, if it has warmed up a bit since you last rode the bike then it could be running rich and will smoke more. But overall i would not worry as long as both pipes smoke the same amount and the bike runs good, 2 strokes change everytime you ride them and the jetting could be slightly off one day and not the next. If i was you I would do a plug chop to make sure your jetting is correct if you have modifications and ride!!!!

 

thanks for the advice man its been really helpfull. Its a brand new bike and it was freakin me out a lil, but now that i know its all good im going for a ride!!!

 

i run klotz r-50 at 40:1--- i noticed yamalube smoked more . it might be time for new rings... do a compression check .if its smoking out the left side alot then you have problems but if they both are about the same then it might be just rings. it is a 05' it might be time for a ring job.
