How can I tell if you banshee engine is getting enough air?

The test is a temp gauge, your either running at normal operating temps or its getting to hot and your over heating..

So do you have a in-line temp gauge? If it isn't overheating and temps are staying below 190ish leave it alone you'll be fine

What do you mean you can feel the difference??

Try and be more specific with your questions and concerns, will be easier for everyone to help.

if by pulling the filter off you increased in power you have a jetting issue, or a dirty filter. clean the filters and jet the bike. yes no filters will cause a lean condition and the bike "will" run better "if" you are on the lean side on jetting, kiss the topend good bye after a short time.

Wacko already knows how my conversion is built he was pointing out other possible ways my problem might have happend. In my build thread you will see a custome manifold adapting the banshee to the stock Yfz air box.

 

This is a weakness and wanted to test this system.

 

With these jets it ran stronger before the conversion.

 

Besides the cut and twisted pipes the intake system is the bigger suspect it the lack of top

end hp. My Yfzshee is the only one with this type of system.

 

Current plans to correct will be remote rear shock to make room for intake tubes and drag pods under the seat.

 

Thanks for posts Thomas

 

Wacko pointed out the possible over heating concern and I never thought of it. Thanks wacko

Sure did, How about you??

I told him that it sounded like a jetting issue, he has been texting me..

And if the bike ran better when he pulled the filters, wouldn't that mean he was rich?

Anything else??

Joe

you responded with a water temp answer like he was asking if his rad was getting enough air lmao don't peddle backwards..... if anything (lack of air to the engine) the bike would have been running cold from a rich condition so why would he need a temp gauge? it would have fouled plugs before temps were a issue. WOW
