ok heres the issue number one is i cannot figure out how to tighten the chain usualy on newer atvs there are 4 bolts at the end of the swing arm u losen those and pull back a huge circle piece and that tightens the chain. But not on the banshee someone help me with this include pics if possible .
My other issue is my banshee is constantly bogging down for no reason. Ill start it up let it warm up then rip it around for about 10 min then out of no where it boggs. sometimes when i feel it bog ill grab the clutch and rev it right as i begin to let the clutch out agen it bogs again. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME

for tightening the chain you need to loosen the carrier bolts on the side that the disc is at (they are lock nuts so they are on there good) i believe the top nut is a 17mm and bottom is a 14mm but anywas on the bottom of the carrier there are 2 10mm screws that go in and out, in is to tighten the chain and out is to loosen, make sure you turn both of them the exact same distants to keep it straight.

i used the search and found this man. hope it helps

thats exactly how to tighten the chain!!! as for the bog...it seems to me you have a jetting issue, either too large mains or needles in wrong position.

also make sure your mixin your gas right, could be too much oil and its boggin it down. but more than likely its jetting!

i would love to help you on this but I run a single carb and have had poor results tryin to tune dual carbs!!!! sorry man i hope this helps!

trinity stage IV single carb intake....someone is always sellin one on bansheehq.com i myself love it!!!! 1 carb to tune, it eliminates the lack of power down low, and throttle isn't stiff as hell!!! i trail ride my banshee all the time and i am sure w/o this there would be no way i could ride it like i do. i.e. lug it up a rocky hill in 1st gear like everyone else. some say that you lose top end, which you may not enough for me to notice where i ride. check out bansheehq.com though alot of good info on there, but before u post make sure you use the search!!!! they will flame the hell out of you if not!!!!

Hope this helps

well the issue wit the carbs and bogging has goten a little better it dosent happen as often i looked into the 2 in 1 sedtup and relly cant aford it right now and the chain situation happened to be that the chain was stretched to the max so we had a link taken out of it and now its way to tight so its time for a new chain lol any advice on were i should get one for a relativeley inexpensive price?

Posted by: snoboarder2684

look on motosport.com and get a package w/ an o-ring 525 chain and new sprockets. if u throw a new chain on old sprockets it will prematurely wear the chain! i usually use D.I.D. chains! they hold up very good for the beating i give them!!! lol hope this helps!!!
