Odd choice for a 1st ride. Not a beginer machine...

 

Off choice? I don't think so lol. I throw that shee around on the trails. I just don't know much about the mechanic
Side of it yet.

If i still have the tors where do I adjust idle from?

 

2011 banshee whatwhat idle screw on most older yamahas under seat i know.

 

Yes 2011

2011 model looks like this http://p1.bikepics.com/2011%5C01%5C0...26482-full.jpg



What else can I check for this turning off problem before I start messing around with tors?

 

looks like a pretty penny you have there there
very nice i must say

But I'd be willing to bet the idle screw is just below the gas tank under the seat. you say you've already checked the little things, is it getting enough air when its running, (I put my hand over the plastic hose thingey thats over the airbox, see if its suckin). We once couldnt get a blaster over 25 mph, i took a look and the air-hose wasnt connected all the way to the carb. So if its not the idle screw its probably something little..

hope you get something out of me ramblin ..
