Anyone out there have a electrical schematic for the Banshee? I am working on one and am not getting a spark. Any suggestions? Also, I need info on tolerance levels. I need to complete this repair in a hurry and all manuals are back ordered 3-5 weeks. Any help would be appreciated!

cobra87,
for what it's worth, a friend of mine who works at a bike shop & rides a Banshee told me that Banshees have had problems with the plug cap. He had the same problem as you. When he said "problems", I just assumed he meant cracking or otherwise shorting out. You might test the plug wire(s) just ahead of the caps & see if you have spark there.

Disconnect the TORS(throttle overide something or other. On top of the carbs) deal. I was not getting spark, checked just about everything, and then unpluged them. It did the trick. Might want to unplug your ignition switch too.

Cobra:
I am sorry i didnt get back to u quicker.... its been kinda crazy here
Email me and I will email you with the scematics of the ignition system
If you just disconnect the TORS system the bike will not run.. you will have to connect a few wires to complete the ignition circut. Let me know what other scematics u will need
