Dont run that motor any more. You are not jetted corectly Where are you located? What kind of air filter set up? Is your air box lid on? Elevation above sea level and temperature are big factors. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banshee 79 Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 im located around 55 miles south of stl mo and i have a filter wit the lid off on original box.. wat size do you suggest? You should be around 280 to 300 main Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilarious Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 google says your 465 above sea level. Id say start with a 300 main, needles in stock position (middle clip) air screws (2) turns out . This is with k&n air filter and no lid on air box. And do some searching around in the jetting exhaust forum. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handyman Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 get the 280 or the 300 main jets. You are running way too lean....once you get the new jets in you;ll notice a diference. Get a clymers manual for the banshee and it will aswer a lot of question ou have. Or you can do a search on here and get alot of info that the book won't tell you.

MarineNYC Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 I have almost the same set up as you and im running 310 mains. Shee runs awsome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowit Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 would turning them that way now with my 240's have any effect? or should i wait till i get the 280 -300s? Those air screws have an effective range to 1/4 throttle. Do not confuse them with main jet adjustment. The air screws will have little to do with how your bike performs at WOT. Always start by tuning that main jet and work your way down. I agree that 280-300 will be in the ballpark. Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bansh-eman Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 with that setup i was running 320 mains, 27.5 pilots, stock needle 3rd clip, air screw 2 turns out... that should get you in the ball park.. if you want to find where to begin modding that bike make sure you use the search botton before making a post, i promise you it has been covered like 100 times, you just have to look a little to fnd it. p.s. change your name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
