ThreeFitty Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I just won a set of chrome T-5's off of eBay. I was looking at Toomey's site and I guess they recommend their "Dynoport" needle. I was wondering if it would be possible to use the stock needle as the jetting did not come with the auction. I already have the 280 mains I need out in the shop. The bike is totally stock except for rear tires. The pipes will be the only mod for the time being. I chose the T-5's as I will be going with reeds, porting, timing advance plate, airbox lid delete/mod and maybe shaved stock heads or some aftermarket cool head. I ride anything from MX to fast woods trails. Pipes should be here next week. Thanks in advance, ThreeFitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Absolutely! I ran the stock needles in mine for the entire time I ran T5's; worked great! I had same setup you're running, with 280 mains, needle set on the 4th clip from the blunt end. I'd highly recommend getting that air filter setup replaced with a K&N as soon as you're able to.

ThreeFitty Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Thanks for the quick response. I wonder if anyone has looked at the side by side to see what the difference is in taper, angle and circumference. That's music to my ears I hope she's got a little more ring-ting-ting with the T-5's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will notice a LOT more ring-ting-ting with the T-5's, you made an excellent choice for pipes. They respond very well to just about any mod you can do to your banshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKJK Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 The dynojet needles are longer with a finer taper+also have 5 clip positions insted of 4 like the stock 5n7needles.On my old set up both needles ran well,but the dynojet ones gave me a crisper off idle throttel responce.The stockers will work fine.If your not satisfied with them,I have a set of dynojet needles i'll sell ya.

80overShee Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 (edited) I run the Dynojet needles with my T5's. They are actually "Vito's" but its just dynojet stuff repackaged. My mid throttle response wasn't as crisp as I thought it should have been, no matter how I adjusted the stocker so I went with the Vito's kit. I have t5's with K&N clamp ons (huge difference btw) and +4 timing and I run 320's, 27.5 pilot and needle in the 4th clip I THINK....I am not exactly sure on the pilot and needle position, memory is not the best. Messed around with too many carbs lately. But I will say my low-mid throttle was a world of difference. I wasn't sure where to put the needle clip at first so I gave Vito a jingle. The guy is kind of a jerk but he set me up right. Also.....I don't know where you live but you will either need a Hush kit or set of Cobra sparkies to get into any state parks and meet dB levels. I have a modified silencer setup so my stuff is useless to me. The hush kit is actuallly kinda beatup (i hate it anyway) but the Sparkies are great, I need to clean them up a little but if you want them. I'll let em go for a steal if you get me before I throw them on Ebay. I'll send all the Toomey silencer stuff I have (extra insert core, 2 snap rings, 2 stock ends, 1st gen hush kit and sparkies) for $100 shipped. Thats less than I paid for the sparkies alone. PM me if you interested at all, otherwiise they are going on Fleabay. Edited March 31, 2006 by 80overShee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact we're building a new track way out in the sticks where my buddies' Parent's just bought a bunch of land. As far as I know in this general area DBs aren't given a second look. There's always souped up cars, trucks and other recreational vehicles with obnoxious exhaust systems running around here. They're just part of the scenery when you move here. Thanks for lookin' out for a Brother though I will run the 'shee first with the stock needle and go from there. Big difference with the clamp on's? I was thinking of running with no lid or modifying the lid to make it breathe better. I dunno, just wanna keep the airbox on just in case. I do however ride where it's dry/dusty so it may be an option later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80overShee Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 If you are going to ride really wet and muddy conditions, go with a Pro-design style adapter with K&N filter and no lid on the airbox lid. If it is REALLY wet, use the lid with holes drilled in it and the special vents (not sure who makes them) to let in more air. If it is mostly dry and you can avoid the real deep mud and water, definitely go with clamp ons. HUGE difference. Just a comparison on airflow....I had to go up 3 jet sizes on main from no-lid K&N prodesign to clamp ons. Only go with the clamp ons though if you can avoid the deep water and wont be puddle jumping at high speeds. I have learned to avoid most things and cross up to 18" deep water SLOWLY and dry out slowly before I speed up again. Make sure to have outerwears. You'll be very happy, worth every penny.

Old Two-Smoke Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 I have had several Banshees with various pipes including a couple of T5s, some have ran well on the stock needle and others have not. Once you get your pipes on you will be able to tell. Let the Fun Begin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeFitty Posted April 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Well I've made the decision to go to a set of UNI's ( I know most prefer the K&N ) I guess I'm gonna have to start with some 310-320-330's? Stock 'shee+T5's and UNI filters at sea level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
