I just picked up a 2002 Banshee that needs a little tlc. Thank you for your how to vids, anytime I have a query about the banshee I look up your vids. I run a street bike powered Banshee for the last 7 years, so I'm just getting reaquainted with the original setup. A Big thank you!
Will the actual covers you can buy for the Banshee with two screw mounting work good? Will completely blocking the vent decrease power or hurt the engine?
You can go to military surplus stores and get those giant camo tarps have holes in them and there used for shading huge area.. reason for holes is so hot air doesn't get trapped and firm a heat pocket between.. we used these and there amazing..
Good video, could you do a video or send me some pictures on the stock overflow line locations to the overflow bottle? I've owned a couple banshee at this point and they have been all jacked up, I'm just curious on the where the factory had them. Note I work at a yamaha dealer and the service manual and assembly Manual don't do a good job of depicting the line routing. Thank
I’m rebuilding a junker banshee and have a question about this case vent. My clutch cover had the 2 screws that go on either side of that vent plug, but there is nothing there for the screws to hold. The plug fits in from the back side, what are those screws supposed to hold? Looks like I’m missing a retainer for that plug but I can’t find it on parts diagrams anywhere. What am I missing with those 2 screws
Your joking right? Reservoir is needed for expansion and contraction just like any vehicle you'll have nothing but overheating problems if you get rid of that reservoir
Joe Dirté yes I did twice. Not talking about the nipple itself that receives the vacuum line cap, I’m talking about the opening in the top of the water pump cover where the hose originally entered...
Hey bud so I was looking for the rear vent and noticed I lost my hose and the part that holds the hose. I washed my bike and just realized that water probably got in there because of that is my bike safe 😳 I mean she still runs great just want your opinion please
Don't ever do this to your bike it's always best to have your vent up towards the gas tank for the simple fact that if you go through stream water puddle or anything that will absolutely suck water into your case don't do what this guy's telling you to do terrible idea
Great video's man just did mine after watching this. Your clutch cover insert and pump cover look really good painted. Is that rattle can paint or automotive paint?
Great now you won't be able to go through a ditch full of water because that case will suck water right up through that hose and if you're at high speeds you can get vent vacuum lock.. Always run your vents up at least above your airbox so that way if you're going through a ditch or splashing through a puddle you're not going to have any issues.. This dude has an awesome channel but this modification is absolutely ridiculous I wish she would have told people the possible problems that can result from doing this
Yes it is and rediculous to do.. those vent lines are there to keep suction from happening which can actually cause seals to prematurely wear as well as vacuum lock and cause your lubricant and transmission fluid to not work properly you've got to have air in there.. Why anybody would get rid of these lines is absolutely ridiculous
@@dask1516 I hear what you’re saying, but inside the water pump cover there are places for screws. for block off plat , so I don’t know why Yamaha would have that there if it would damage to bike if it was blocked off
I no u do banshees but I have a 88 250r as well as my banshee and she has no spark everything checks out to specks new coil new wire harness and will get spark out of nowhere sometimes the stator and pick up coil pass all its specks to tried diff Cdi to
Richard Dassonville Sounds like it could be a ground issue to me. Have you tried to disconnect and clean all the grounds? Even where the coil mounts to the frame?
Your fine disconnecting it if you block it off. You can just take it off and leave the port open. this is a major MOD in the banshee world 9 out of 10 who have ANY sort of a modded banshee do it. the company set it up on 0 timing and with TORS too. However that’s also one of the very first things we do. Bump timing and trash the TORS.
There are cleaner ways without doing this type of Bubba job. Just route the front vent line up behind the coolant hose, and the rear vent line up between the carbs. Much cleaner. Although my hoses were hardened and the T was cracked, so I ran fresh hoses all the way up to the steering stem and bent a pair of 4 inch sections of hard brakeline in a U and stuck one end of each into the vents, the other free to air. Zip tied all of that in place to keep it from moving around.
Richard Dassonville Hmmm and everything homes good? I can't find your comment now, thirst intermittent problems can be a real pain until it just totally quits.
People are saying that this isn’t a smart idea to block it off, but Yamaha designed it as you can if see inside the water pump cover there are places for screws for the block off kit , so I don’t know why Yamaha would design it like that if it bad for the bike to blocked it off
Or orrrrrrrrr just leave them where they are at because it's 100% absolutely ridiculous to remove your vent lines just keep them they're great for if you flip your quad roll it over stand it up or any of the above leave them there they are nice to have why would anybody remove their vent lines? If you go through water or a ditch or something now that vent line can absolutely suck water right into your case this is the stupidest modification I've ever seen anybody do those vent lines should always be ran up at least above your air filter..
@@kevingalindo1 hey, I just rebuilt my Banshee bottom end top end the right cylinder is smoking bad and it's misfiring. Brand new magneto brand new reeds brand new coil and my toes is unplugged what in the hell could it be.. This thing ran so good it idle perfectly when I first started it but when I got on it and was putting around it started missing and now it's nothing but smoke and yes everything was put together correctly.. You seem to know a heck of a lot about these quads I did it by watching your videos I did everything the way you would do it

really enjoy your videos bro, keep up the good work
Kaylan Chetty
thank you sir and will do
Will the actual covers you can buy for the Banshee with two screw mounting work good? Will completely blocking the vent decrease power or hurt the engine?
Where can i get that T from? That hooks from the transmission hose that connects with all the hoses
What color is on the frame/ parts? Trying to find that exact same color
Another great video
You can go to military surplus stores and get those giant camo tarps have holes in them and there used for shading huge area.. reason for holes is so hot air doesn't get trapped and firm a heat pocket between.. we used these and there amazing..
Really enjoy your videos got a question what mixture do you use 150 ml per gallon?
The ants crawling all over your Banshee 😂
My vent leaks oil after a hard ride and and seams to be clogged any idea
Very helpful!!!!
What's the best way to get a fender bolt out of the gas tank all it does is spin

Can you do a video like this routing the coolant lines for an overflow bottle please
just curious kevin,do you plug the hole on the clutch cover were the vent line used to run threw or just leave it exposed??thanks in advance
doitforfun yessir
Sometimes i plug with with some black RTV or Yama-bond to keep water out.
You should make a video on Yamaha banshee coolant reservoir delete and what to do with the hose if it spews coolant out this would be helpful thanks
Your joking right? Reservoir is needed for expansion and contraction just like any vehicle you'll have nothing but overheating problems if you get rid of that reservoir
Can you show me how to install the breather plug and hose on the transmission, thanks! My banshee dont have the plug and no hose! Thanks!
Rafael Sierra
Hey man text me 361-243-0431
Hey I just bought a banshee to and move doesn’t have the plug or hose. How did you fix and where did you get pets
How do you plug off the now open hole where the vent line went into the water pump cover??
did you watch the whole video?
Joe Dirté yes I did twice. Not talking about the nipple itself that receives the vacuum line cap, I’m talking about the opening in the top of the water pump cover where the hose originally entered...
U da man!

Thanks!👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼This one is dupli color paint, if you ever see one of my bikes with a silver color, that’s VHT.

Can you make a Carb Maintenance Video? and show how to adjust the floats and such?
Great Video!
I have one on carb rebuild and float height, it's a 2 parter.
What are the benefits of deleting them
Yeah why would yamaha put the vents on there if they arent needed
Your wiring harness is hanging down all over the place as well. Just cut all that off too. Weight savings right? /s
You dont havd to worry about a bunch of dirt and other b.s getting into the water pump case??
Isnt it bad to plug off vents tho?
Yes it is and rediculous to do.. those vent lines are there to keep suction from happening which can actually cause seals to prematurely wear as well as vacuum lock and cause your lubricant and transmission fluid to not work properly you've got to have air in there..

Sounds like it could be a ground issue to me. Have you tried to disconnect and clean all the grounds? Even where the coil mounts to the frame?
Does this have any positive or negative effect, or is this purely aesthetic?
jerm
just clean up the look.
Why did you disconnect? I think the company set it up for a reason
Your fine disconnecting it if you block it off. You can just take it off and leave the port open. this is a major MOD in the banshee world 9 out of 10 who have ANY sort of a modded banshee do it. the company set it up on 0 timing and with TORS too.

Charles Gunzelman where did you get your new hoses
@@tylerrothrock9943 i just used transparent Tygon fuel line.
Cleaned the ground Honda coils don't ground to the frame at least on the r s
Richard Dassonville
Hmmm and everything homes good? I can't find your comment now, thirst intermittent problems can be a real pain until it just totally quits.
nice banshee if your selling them bills pipes let me know
Mine doesn't have a hose on the back think it's important
Fullbore
only if you ever stand it up, it will drain out on you.
People are saying that this isn’t a smart idea to block it off, but Yamaha designed it as you can if see inside the water pump cover there are places for screws for the block off kit , so I don’t know why Yamaha would design it like that if it bad for the bike to blocked it off
Pay attention!!!!
So it doesn't need to vent
Sorry the water cover one doesn't need to vent
Fullbore
nah they both vent from the same place, the lower one in front isn't required.
Or orrrrrrrrr just leave them where they are at because it's 100% absolutely ridiculous to remove your vent lines just keep them they're great for if you flip your quad roll it over stand it up or any of the above leave them there they are nice to have why would anybody remove their vent lines?
