BaNsHEE ELiMiNaToR Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Hi there i own a 02 shee, Duncan racing boost Bottle, Duncan Racing PowerHead with 22cc domes, No air box just 2 clamp on K & N filters, Normal Mixed gas for the shee, Boyseen Reeds, NEW "Pro Banshee Rider Kit From Toomey racing includes T-5s, all chrome, Jets of 280, Boyseen reeds. Well my bike is eating gasss like a mofo... My question is how long do you run on gas? And the way i modified my bike does it sound like it should eat so much gas..??? Tommey told me if i was hard riding my bike full throtle all out everywhere i would go through a tank in 15-18 min but thats only if i was all out throtle every where. Is there something i did wrong or should change??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 15 to 18 mins!!!??? what the f*ck?? thats crazy. i cant imagine going thru gas like that. i think something must be wrong, i guess i could be wrong tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallrat Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 I can go about 20 miles (as the crow flies) while riding dunes fairly hard. Dunes eat up the gas plus you don't go in a straight line. I'd imagine that's probably 25-30 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nater006 Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 You might have some leaky carbs or another leak in the fuel system. Shouldn't go through that much gas though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman121383 Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 hey man if ur not happy with ur mileage i'll trade shees with ya. i ent on some good rides but the one time i was boggin down and my bike was runnin great so i flipped it on reserve and she was screamin again. . . .a few minutes later she was boggin out on me. the very second i pulled into my friends g/f driveway it cut out on me. . . . i tried restartin it for the hell of it and she wouldn't fire. my banshee was BONE dry lol. so just keep an eye on ur fuel level,maybe get an IMS tank or somethin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignasty1 Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 did you by any chance buy that bike off of someone on this forum? i think they had a camaro supersport they were paying for with the cash they got out of the bike. did you win it on ebay. i swear i have seen that pic somewhere b4 or one alot like it? and back to the toppic i could kill a tank of gas on my old ported bike in about 10-20 minutes easily. but check and see if you carbs are pissin all over. that would be my guees and you should prolly go up few sizes on those jets. 280's for toomeys and no box is pretty small. i would try some 320's and go from there.

MotulMonsta Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 If I ride hard, I'll get about a 1/2 hour out of my tank. But my average is an hour 1/2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranshee Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Dude there is know way in hell you can go through atank in 15 to 18 min. Thats gotta be almost impossible. That would be like havin some 100 pilots and 700 mains. I cant see that happining. My bike is somewhat moded, and I can go at least 2 hours on a full tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meat Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 yea I can go about an 1-1\2 to 2 hrs on a tankfull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincster Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Buddy, you are WAYYYYYY lean with clamp on air filters and 280 mains. Unless you are like at 7000' elevation. What is your elevation? I would be at least at 320 mains at any sort of elevation. I run 370 mains in my bike with a 2:1 Toomey air filter. Don't listen to Toomeys instructions, they are whacked.

banshee76179 Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 yea I can go about an 1-1\2 to 2 hrs on a tankfull about 1 1/2 hrs for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MILO Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 at least 2-3 hrs of trail riding. i can usually make it thru 20-30 mile poker runs easily without tapping reserve. of course that's not constantly ripping, but we do stop at all the play spots for a while too.

Sanddunejunkie Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 My bike has 320's in it and is the worst gas hog in the entire group of banshees I ride with. (probably 25 bikes in all) and I can ride for an hour and a half before I get worried If I were you I would look at my floats they may be adjusted wrong or sticking but you have to be dumping that gas out somewhere there is no way you are burning that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
