well i took my banshee out for a rip down the street and i wound out real strong from 2nd to 5th but when i it 6th i could not get into the powerband without blipping the clutch for a second, when i did that it hit real strong, could this be a jetting issue, i think im right about perfect with the jetting, it doesnt bog anywhere in the rpm range and started 1st kick cold

Usually is a symptom of lean jetting, tall gearing, or timing too far advanced.

defiantly a jetting issue if the bike runs perfect other than up top.... i would say your either really lean or rich on the jets, i had the same problem at first and it turned out i was way rich on my mains. what mods, elev. , temps. , and what jets are in there now? there could also be other problems causing this as well but proper jetting is essential in a banshee and the last thing u want to do i burn her down...

im in ct less than 500 feet above sea level, i have t5s and a k&n with a gutted lid with thedivider taken out, i have 27.5 pilots and 310 mains for the winter i put the pipes on in the winter, so i had to jet a few times, it was about 25 degrees out when it was jetted and its about 40 now , plug chop told me i was spot on

Throw some bigger mains in there and see what happens. 340s or so,then you can always jet back down. Usually no need for the 27.5 pilots with T5s, but it does make it easier to start.

well i had 320s in therefirst but it ran like shit and sputtered before the powerband and the plugs were really dark, when it warms up a bit im going to jet back down to 300s or even 290s and see what happens, or it may just be gearing because if i old it wot for a little it will creap into the powerband or if i blip te clutch quick it will take off

If you have stock gearing (and tires), you should be able to wind 6th gear all the way out, no problem. I find it hard to believe that 310s would still be rich, but if 320s sputtered, the 310s probably would still be a little fat.

 

I run my bolt on modded stocker pig rich with 350 mains in it and it winds 6th tight with 15/41 gearing.

Usually that setup will dial in with a 290-300 with your elevation and temp. I think we have a different prospective on "falling flat". Rich conditions tend to smoke and blubber and lean conditions sound like they are getting there but your butt says otherwise... Let those plugs talk to you... I think you will be happy in the 290 range. I certainly do not think you need to go richer. I usually dial in T5s here on a 280 main and about 300 with pods and 310 with our intake kit..
