03bansheedw Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I've got my bike ripping the way i like, however the stock carbs work great when its nice and dry out, but i like to do some trail riding, and spring is dam wet in Ontario. Just looking for some suggestions, brand of carb for an upgrade, jetting/needle suggestions anything else i should now. I've read lots on here, but i'm looking for some veteran advice on my set up. I forget my neddle size but i can get that tomorrow, my set up info is in my sig. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03bansheedw Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 The reason i'm asking is when she gets wet it loves to hold the WOT sometimes, pretty flip'n dangerous while cornering, or wheelie-ing... haha many other reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdod101 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Where in Ontario ? Im there too. Also part of that reason your slides might be sticking, give your carbs a clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdod101 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Also try lubing your cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 You need to compensate for colder wet conditions with jetting/carb adjustments. Especially if there are any modifications done to the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uf21 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I always read about changing jetting depending on weather temperature. Really how important is this? After how many degrees increase must you change the jetting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebanshee98 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 360's seem pretty fat if you ask me especially for your mods. you may have a air leak somewhere. i would do a leakdown test... on my 4 mil dune port bike with shearers and pods in the summer i had 340 mains in stock carbs. in the winter i would had to go up to around 360. if your cylinders are not ported im sure you have a air leak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03bansheedw Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 i KNow 360's seem huge, but i just did the top end last weekend ( leak down test passed held 6-7 psi) it was a bit rich so i moved the needle position from 2nd to 3rd from the bottom and the plugs are burning a nice dark choc. brown now, also i put a cool head on yesterday and did an other leak down test and it passed again(135 psi both cylinders 21 cc domes) I'm starting to recegnize air leaks a bit better since i've gone through so many stock intake boots( changed to the billet w/crossover) I keep my carbs pretty clean. My main prob is when i hit water at med to high speed i get very nervous that my throttle will stick wot ( after i hit water it only takes a few minutes and it seems to be fine again) Does no one else have this prob with stock carbs? I share a garage with my buddy who has 2 banshees simialar set ups and he has this problem too. He's got an rm 250 with the keihin carb and now problem hitting the water. -tdod101 i ride around petawawa, chalk river, deep river,... ottawa valley area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03bansheedw Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 ZillaFreak- no im not ported, except for my intake ports which i dremelled the center to a "V" shape, and my elevation is low 430 ft, i know my compession is a low( i've honed and re-ringed a few times) but the bike is running great, plugs are burning good.... but if i smash water it seems to make a slide stick up( i shut it down, play with the throttle tap the carb a bit and its back to normal) also i can rip through mud and dirty roads, but if i see a huge water hole i break hard and 1st around the side cause i'm afraid if i hammer though in 2nd or 3rd she'll stick wide open and i'll have to shut it down in the middle. where in the electrical should i take a look at? thanks for all the input, i can only get on here late at nite cause of my work schedual lately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil Doobie420 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 ur probly getting watter thur the tors delete caps and the dirt in the water in making the slides hang up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03bansheedw Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 -lil Doobie420, thats exactly what i think is happening... so my question is, is there a preferred carburator/throttle cable..... and a guess at what the jetting would be on such carburator for my set-up.....

lil Doobie420 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 the one that comes on it is suposed to have rubber peices that go over the adjustment part of the caps. if not yamabond them. i got 300s in mine and they are close in mods .
