I just bought my Banshee last weekend,the man said it was run at 50-1 i added maybe a half of gallon of hr 1 at 32-1 will this hurt anything.Also the bike is leaking at the silencer pipe where it has the rubber the screw on the clamp is stripped and cant get any tighter,this is on the left side,the other side is leaking from the silencer its dripping.Will this hurt anything,make it lean out. What is the suspension settings on the clickers? 1 more questions Today i was playing around w trying to set the parking brake it wont engage I had the bike in my driveway and the rear end started coming up and bike kept stalling,but parking brake isnt stuck.I played w the suspension adjusters in the rear could this have an effect on the rear end coming up like the brakes were on?The last question would be how long and how am I suppose to let my shee warm up before I can ride?I started it w choke and occassionally hit the gas and let it come down to idle to clean it out.Anyway thanks for every 1s reply

I'd spend some time and go over it with a fine tooth comb.. Tighten or check all the bolts, clean it all up nice, etc.. 32:1 is fine, you might need to re-jet it though running more oil will make it run a little lean.. Anyways defintely check it all out, I bought a banshee and diddnt go over it very good, wasnt quite running right but it was running, blew it up within the mile, wasnt pretty.. Still have the pictures if ya need some motovation.. As far as warming it up, make sure that sucker is good and warm, I know at least with my blaster I always let it idle for a couple minutes giving it the gas every now and then, then I take off easy, gassing it every now and then for about 150yds or so before I tear off, you can feel when its really warmed up at least with the blaster.. the first 100yds of so it always sputters a little.. Cold siezure is a horrible thing..
