DynamicPanic Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hey guys, I recently purchased a 06 Banshee. The banshee is like new, barely riden. The only kicker is the guy let gas sit in the bike for 2 years or something. The bike has T5s, k&n air filter. I replaced spark plugs, filter for gas tank, carbs. I did not replace the jets, I just cleaned them as I can't read the numbers off the jets and Toomey won't respond to me. So here is my questions. The bike runs solid but bogs down at first throttle. What do you think is the cause of this? I went WOT through all gears and the bike does fine after takeoff. However a friend tampered with this brass screw on side of carberator and I swear the bike tops out slower now. Seems like I go through gears quicker now. Is this normal? Also, anyway to find out what jets I should be running with my T5s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'd run 27.5 pilots and start with a 280 main. The brass screw on the side is the air screw. That should be .5-2.5 turns out depending on throttle response. Dial in your main jet first and then mess with the air screw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06BCBANSHEE Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 prob need a size bigger on the pilot. had the same problem. was running 27.5 and switched to a 30. running fmf fattys K&N and vforce 4. its hard to sell, but they should say what size they are. That screw is ur idle screw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going on a trip so trying to get this info in ASAP or else I'd do more research instead of sounding like a dumbass. What is the pilot? I know what the jet size is. Plus, is their a kit I can buy with a couple jet and pilot sizes? Btw, I am below sea level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickedcarbine Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Did you use any pressure to blow out any of the passages in the carbs when you cleaned them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneybags Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 how far out are the air screws now? You need to wait about 30 seconds after ajusting the air screws to notice the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Ya make your own "kit" so you get what ya need. You tell them I need a 290,300, 310, 320, 330 or in what ever range you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
