Banshee running hot


Recommended Posts

I just picked up my third Banshee. It has a cool head (unknown domes) , FMF fattys, K&N filter, +5 timing. The guy I got it from said it was jetted right FMF calls for 260 mains on third notch, with no other mods. He never rejetted when he added the other mods. Plugs and white, hardly any smoke from the pipes. Bike runs HOT cant touch the head pipe after 1 minute. 1st question, should I run race gas to see if it runs cooler, 2nd What would be a good starting point for jetting? Anyway to tell what size domes?......Sorry for so many questions guys but the feedback I get from BHQ is always solid.

pro design stamps the dome size into the side of the dome. Does it kick harder than your other two bikes? Turn the timing down and see if it helps the heat problem.

 

Might sound dumb but hot after one minute? Did you check the coolant? Also maybe the water pump impeller is stripped or broken.

 

White plugs also means lean, whats your elevation? 260 is tiny
