Screamin'Sheela Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Hey guys just got a 2006 banshee stock engine and carbs. Running FMF fatties, vforce 3 reeds, and k+n pods. 900ft elevation. Right now I'm at 280 mains, 27.5 pilots, and 4th clip needle. I am getting up to high rpm's very quickly on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear. I previously had Trinity stage 4 pipes. Am I just used to the low end power of the trinities or is this a jetting issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdod101 Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) What's your gearing? Your jetting sounds good except for the needle. Take it to the middle clip and a/s 1.5 turns out. Try 290_on the main as well Edited April 7, 2016 by tdod101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screamin'Sheela Posted April 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Thanks tdod, I'm going to try that this weekend. Zilla, I'm not even sure it is a problem, might just be the difference in pipes that I'm feeling. It just feel drastically different than my last bike.

sleeper06 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 A lean setting will give that feel but you have a very common set up and jets you have are damn close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to try going up to 290 mains and bring the needle clip to 3rd. I'm not trying to blow this thing up lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screamin'Sheela Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 I'm gonna run it this weekend and check the plugs. I'll get back to you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamaha04 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 I added T5's. Boysen reeds. Coolhead with domes and +5 timing. Ran 290's toomey needles middle clip I think. Stock pilots and 1.5 turns on the airscrew it held together and ran strong. I had to go to a 15tooth from sprocket tho. It was way to hairy on the stock 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screamin'Sheela Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Alright, I was able to get out to ride today finally. It seems to be running good, plugs looked ok, but there was one problem. When I let it idle without the choke it idles good, but if I pull out the choke it goes higher RPM. This means the pilot is jetted too lean, right?... I'm at 1-1/2 screws out on the air screw btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 I always liked 30 pilots with that set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
