02Banshee88 Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) I got my Banshee back yesterday from having it repaired at the dealership and it ran like a champ. Today I was letting it warm up and tapped the throttle, and the left pipe was the only side I could see blowing that initial start-up smoke out. I rode it up and down my driveway to see if anything felt off, and after about 5 mins the powerband was no longer kicking in. It felt and sounded like it was seizing up when it should have BRAAAAAAAAAAPED. So needless to say I need some help because I'm a tad pissed I just paid to have it fixed and it still ain't acting right. Here's the jetting and current mods if that helps... K&N air filter with no air box lid FMF Gold Series Fatty pipes Pilots: 30 Air screw: 1.5 turns Needle jets: set at 4th notch Main jets: 290 Edited February 21, 2016 by 02Banshee88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Jetting sounds close enough to at least get an ok pass. What is compression in both cylinders? What do the spark plugs look like? And what was the bike doing before it went to the shop, and what did they say/do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 What did you have fixed, I'm gonna bet you brought it In with an air leak, they fixed a bunch of shit that helped but you took it back with the airleak still there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Banshee88 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) The repairs I needed were because it wouldn't start after running fine for 30mins at my buddies house a couple weekends ago, and a new clutch cover gasket because the previous owners damaged the old one while trying to get it off so there was an oil leak, and I wanted new sparkplugs. Here's what they did... - new spark plugs - new clutch cover gasket and new transmission oil (Yamalube 10W30 which I wasn't happy about but whatever) - coolant flushed and new coolant put in - 2 new gasket, float chambers - 2 new needle valve assemblies - fresh gas 50:1 (Amsoil Dominator) - brand new right carburetor - new pilot jets 30, needle set at 4th notch - new main jets 290 That's it. The only other thing now is the problem stated in the original post and a small shift shaft seal leak.

Shee_fast Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Well 50.1 is lacking oil even with amsoil cuz that's what I run at 40.1.... So my guess is you might have ran her lean with not enough oil(i believe how that works)...and as sleeper said you prolly have and air leak.. Is also check the carbs to make sure slides are correct and bowls.. Sent from my VS810PP using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Banshee88 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Okay I'll ask em about that tomorrow because I'm calling the dealer back asap and letting em know I'm not happy. What would my jetting need to be to run 40:1 with the Amsoil Dominator since you said that's what you run in yours too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shee_fast Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 I have the same mods almost.... I'm at 27.5 pilots and 290 mains but I'm 1200asl at 40.1 Sent from my VS810PP using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Banshee88 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 My buddy Tyler said he'd put 310s in mine. I'm at 600 feet above sea level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Don' fuck with it. Drop it off to them asap. If you can't call them when they open and tell them exactly what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Yep, take it back, don't let them double talk you. Not to mention a brand new carb will come with bowl gasket, float chamber and needle valve assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike NY Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Bring it directly back to the dealer, tell them it came back worse after they worked on it than when you brought it in, fight tooth and nail that they fix whatever may be going wrong!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfaith08 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 My buddy Tyler said he'd put 310s in mine. I'm at 600 feet above sea level. That's me. I personally wouldn't take it back. After a little asking around, you can still order factory carb components individually from Yamaha. You do not have to order an entire carb. Any shop with access to a brand new carb through Yamaha has the ability to see that they also sell individual pieces. From there, that's up to you as to what you do. I would drop the pilot to a 27.5 and start plug chopping at 310 and work down, but I'd also heed the other advice given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Banshee88 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 What would be causing one pipe to be blowing more smoke than the other? Left side is fine but the right is lacking smoke, plus that's the side with the carb they replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Did you bring it back yet? Or at least call to tell them it's still fucked up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
