lowboy1979 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I am having some problems getting my bike jetted correctly. It’s a 2001 with stock carbs, T5s, no air box and K&N's. It has a cool head and a White boost bottle. I ride at 8000 to 9000 feet. My first trip out with this bike was at 9000 feet and it was running hot and puking some coolant. It ran ok, just a little gutless. WOT had a little miss and a bad low end bog. I am looking for a baseline on the carbs. What mains and pilots. How much on the screw and were to start on the clip. This is my first Banshee and I would really appreciate some direction. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 need to know temps and what jets you running now? for 80-90 degrees at 6000 with t5s and pods i have a 27.5 pilot and 290 mains needle one up from middle(lean) air screw 1.5. so id try a 280 and start from there. mine runs good with a 25 or a 27.5 pilot but notice a lil better off throttle with the 27.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky_mtn_yamaha Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) I ride from 6000 to 10000 feet and mine is jetted tits on for 75-100 degrees...im running a 275 main, 27.5 pilot, clip in the middle and the air screw 2 turns out...most my riding is actually done around 8000-10000 feet, i just live at 6000. Basically same setup but my pipes are different. I run FMF Fatty Gold series with powercore 2 silencers, k&n no airbox lid, stock carbs.

lowboy1979 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Thanks ya'll. I am going to yank the carbs off this weekend and see what they have and order some new jets if I need. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
