BellicoseBanshee Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 I got the airbox w/t6 air filter and like 8 or 10 holes, no snorkel. What do you think? So, basically you have the whole Toomey TR6 modified airbox pipe kit. I am not a jetting genius, but it sounds to me like the needle needs adjustment. Adjusting the needle has also been mentioned by others, and it is easy to do. I would try that at least. I took the time to do a plug chop, and my banshee runs strong and is quite fast for what it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snopczynski Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 well move it and see if it makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justintoxicated Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) well move it and see if it makes a difference. Yep Move / Change the needle. Sometimes it is good to go with a longer needle with less taper. If you really don't think it is a jetting issue, then check your reeds (this will require some new gaskets to pull them and inspect them). Better reeds = better throttle response. When you ride the Banshee, look for a throttle position right before the Power Band, this way when your curizing on a hill you have instant access to the power. You don't lug it then gun it like you can with a 4-stroke. it really does sound like a jetting issue to me though, definately with the needle or maybe even the main jet! (transition between needle and fully open is the problem) I ran 320's mains with FMF Fattys No lid on airbox, and K&N @ sea level in glamis moved the stock needle clip down 1 position (Raised the needle). I was typicaly slightly rich but never foweled a plug! Edited September 11, 2007 by Justintoxicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bansh-eman Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) which needle are you running? stock carbs too right? Edited September 11, 2007 by Bansh-eman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justintoxicated Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 HEY Justin were do you recoment me go w/ the needle, I am going to ride tomorro. My needle has 6 grooves Well Try One Position Lower (Raise the needle), the delay is either because your starving it, or giving it too much. If it gets worse, then try moving it the other direction.

kskjofire Posted September 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I went riding today and I change it to the third clip and it was a little bit better. I think I got it. But my ? is how the hell they do wheelies in the first gear(from the hole)? DO I need a new clutch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 change the clip position again and see if it gets even better or worse. I also recommend using toomey needles with stock carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
