okbeast Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Do a plug-chop, you can find out how in the jetting FAQ thread. Mains sound a tad big for having the airbox on, but it should run well where it's at. Why do you ask about the jetting, is the bike running bad?

_Hex* Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 try 290 on the main go 27.5 on the pilot and 1-1/4 - 1-3/4 in the airscrew see if that helps oooo go back to the stock needle, place it on the 4th from the top try this out and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Jackson Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) 280 mains should be fine, if anything a little rich with your setup and elevation and summer temps dont put bigger pilots in it , leave the stock ones the toomey needles run great in mine on the 3rd clip down from blunt end do you have tors removed with real idle screws? to set your air screws turn them al the way in till they stop, turn your idle screws up a little higher than normal, turn air fuel screws out 1/2 turn at a time in each, wait 10 seconds, repeat, do that till u get the highest idle out of it, if you have to turn past 2 turns your pilot is too big, less than a turn and its too small, turn your idle screws bck down, make sure the carbs are both in sync, hope this helps, only u can ride it and see for sure though you never mentioned how your banshee was running either... does it bog anywhere? ect..

_Hex* Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 haha you'd better have something pretty crazy or get ready to repaint ur front end hahah. no adjustment needed for the reeds all they do is control the flow better and atomize the mixture better like when you have water in your mouth and spray it the tighter it is the more finer the spray same principal. but the v force clear up the midrange as compared to the stock so its a win win you cant really go wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
