First banshee need help...

Stock airbox is nice but there a pain in the ass. It's a struggle every time you want to pull the carbs. The stock box has plastic locking style tabs and rubber boots. Reinstalling the assembly can be a project in itself. Personally I would use pods & prefilters ( outerwares). When it comes to oil choice that is also personal preference. I run Castor 927.

Where's them pics? :sick:

jetting is something your gonna have to learn.....but to start out....look the bike over VERY thoroughly and tell us all the things that you see on it. ie the pipes, if it has aftermarket reeds, what kind of filters you put on it, then jump back on here and tell us your elevation and your temp that your currently at.  All this plays a part in jetting. 

 

Things you'll want to learn is how to tune and this is a learning process.  To start you off and teach yourself what trying to achieve.....go to google and type in plug chop banshee hq.  Then read up on the procedure and you'll begin to understand the basics of jetting.

Get us the specs on the jetting in the carbs pilot, needle and clip position, and main. Take a photo of the spark plug as well.

 

As far as intake goes. You would do just fine with the stock air box and some form of 2/1 filter from NOSS Machine or Pro Design. Don't bother with the lid though.

 

Also, don't ever ditch your VF2 reeds for 3's or 4's. Those are known to be the top performing reed for these banshees. Although claims of 4's being better are starting to be validated

 

Nothing wrong with those FMF's till you start getting really serious about performance. I ran some on my old 400cc stock stroke big bore. Fun motor.

I see a few problems with your bike that I can point out

 

Remove the boost bottle and put a stock cross over tube in before it cracks your intakes and lean your motor out.

Get a Tors elimination kit so you can get rid of the headaches of faulty systems and make it easier to wrench on your bike.

Move the cables off of the pipe before they melt through.

Check your choke tube that connects the two carbs.  it appears to not be hooked up correctly.

Also you need a gas tank bolt and you can take the zip tie off your fuel line to your second carb.....and you can slide down the silver pinch clamp to use on the fuel line.

How do I remove the boost bottle I bought the bike this way and ie been doing things little by little but she rode good today... Also where's the best place to get the tors eliminator kit ? Are these hard to change...and all the hoes were put back right that pic I was in the middle of righting the carbs and putting the stock air box back on

if you look at the boost bottle nubs that go into the intakes there are two black pinch style clamps that hold the rubber tight to the boost bottle.  Then you have to wiggle that bottle like a bastard to get it out. 

 

You can get the TORS eliminator kit from F.A.S.T. Racing (one of our site sponsors) or you can get them online at a lot of atv style aftermarket shops.  They come new carb caps, a new cable, a drill bit, a tap and idle screws.  You have to cut down a specific nub on each carb and then drill out the nub, then tap it for the idle screw.  Its really not that difficult.....and usually the kit is around $45-50
