williamjernigan Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 I have a 03 banshee black and red and I installed fmf sst's, 15 tooth front sprocket, k&n airfilter, and rejetted. I had a few problems when I rejetted as some of you may know because I put a post on about how I bent the mixture needle. Anyways, I got it fixed and my good as new banshee is fast as a MO FO. I extremely like the new feel of having a 15 tooth front sprocket because I don't have to shift as much. I found myself shifting down thing I was in second but I was already in first. As a matter of fact it is so much fast that my normal area that I get about 3/4 throttle in 6th gear before I could only get 3/4 in 5th gear now. It is awesome. I love taking off in second too. I love the sst's but I deffinetly notice a lack of bottom end. They pull extremely hard and good from 1/2 to full throttle. I am satisfied with the mods I have done and plan to do more in the future. I plan to put on a NOSS Head with 20cc domes. Will this help my bottom end a bit? I will ride more tommorow to get a better feeling but I would like to thank all the people on this site for helping me decide to go with 15 tooth gearing and all other help. Also I noticed that it spins so bad now so I will be sending my swingarm off to shorten it which I fully trust in all you guys advice on how much better it is. If you have any other helpful suggestions on how to help my bottom end then please respond. THANKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlnoss Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Raising the compression will help the bottom end power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIRST BANSHEE Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 (edited) If your running stock rear tires I would upgrade those and add +4 degrees timing along with the other suggestions Edited October 30, 2004 by FIRST BANSHEE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANKS! i don't get it you raised the gearing and now you spin out better? and its easier to take off in second? you sound like you gained lowend? but you said you gained more up top which should be correct. sorry just seems confusing. by uping the gearing it should be harder to spin and harder to take off in second.

williamjernigan Posted October 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 When I say that I don't have bottom end power I ment that at low rpm's their is a deffenit lack of power. It feels like maybe as good as stock or maybe just a little less power. Once you rev it up though no matter what gear your in it will haul. So when I take off in second I have to feather the clutch and keep rpms up or it will bogg down do to taller gearing. So yeah I guess it takes a little more finess to start out in second but as long as you keep it reved up then Im fine. Which brings me to my other problem of spinning to bad. Need to get some good tires and shorten swingarm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
