I'm gonna freshen up the top end and wanted to know what is the max compression in psi that I can safely run on 91-octane pump gas at sea level? How much shaved off the stock head would achieve this max psi? What size domes would this be if I were to go the cool head route? Does a cool head help in keeping the temps down, or is it more for flexibilty in changing domes for compression for different fuels/mods? Thank!

Hey Fellas, I have been out of the Banshee game for awhile and I am wanting to freshen up my bone stock top-end. So I am thinking about boring out the jugs to 66mm(if memory serves me correctly it makes it a "true 370cc") AND ALSO getting them "Dune-Ported & Polished" by a site sponsor! Would it even be worth moving up from the stockers to 28mm for this type of top-end work? If so, I was thinking about slapping on some new 28mm PWK's at the same time to compliment the porting, but I remember reading somewhere about some shops being able to bore out the stockers to 28mm also. So, is there a difference in performance between these two carb set-ups? What are the pros and cons of each set-up? What shops specialize in boring out the stockers and where is everyone finding the best pricing on new "genuine/authentic" 28mm PWK's? Any opinions or thoughts? Thank you for any help!

Hey guys, I fired up the shee today just to mess with the air mixture screw and what I've noticed is that when I 1st fire up my shee, if I turn off the choke halfway(leave the plunger pulled out halfways) it has EXCELLENT throttle response, just like it used to! And if I turn off the choke completley while its idling, it will bog and die unless I'm blipping the throttle and revving the motor at the same time I turn off the choke completely. Is this a sign of a rich or lean condition? thanks again fellas!

Thanks for all the tips guys! I'll double check the pilots and start out at 25's and go from there and make sure the slides are facing the right way and in sync visually. If that dont work, then Ill order a sync tool from Jeff! BTW, how many turns is the range adjustment on the air/fuel screw. If I remember correctly, is it from 1 - 2.5 turns out? Thanks again fellas!

I have a '01 shee that I installed a TORS Eliminator kit and at the same time rebuilt the stock carbs since they were leaking from the overflow tubes. Ever since I put everything back together my shee has a lazy bottom end with a slight bog and just doesnt have crisp throttle response anymore. I dont know if its a result from the tors kit or from the carb rebuild kits. The midrange and top end are good and it will idle. But if its idleing and I slam the throttle WFO it will bog and die. The carb kits came with new jets and needles for stock carbs. My carbs had 260 mains for the fmf fattys and if I remember correctly, stock needles and pilots. I replaced everything but the mains. Im wondering if the pilots or needles in the rebuilt kits were different then my stockers since I didnt check them before replacing them ??? What is the stock pilot size and needles? Thanks,

Hey fellas, I haven't been on here much since getting my 700R raptor. I know, I know, but hey at least it's a Yamaha lol! So, who or what shops are the places to hit up for an awesome stock cylinder pump gas Dune Port? I plan on freshening up the top-end so I might as well get some porting done if the cylinders are gonna be off. I'm on stock bore, what is the biggest over-bore I can go? What size cc would this put me at? Thanks.

+1 Just remember that the included jets and needles are for STOCK carbs, so if you are currently piped and jetted accordingly, you will reuse those needles and jets. I found this out the hard way after putting the carbs back on...

Hey fellas, when the ignition coil goes bad, will the banshee start or run at all? Or will the bike be completely dead? My banshee is bogging bad and lazy to get on the pipe, and after I switched the plug wires it made a big difference, but not like when it was running 100%. Thanks.

After installing the TORS Eliminator Kit, is it ok to remove all of the extra cables like the throttle switch and parking brake cables? Is there any other wires or cables that I can now get rid of? If I remove the parking brake cable, I'm assuming i have to install a parking brake block-off??? Thanks.

Jeff, check your PM.

Cool, I will be giving you guys a call today. I might order a F.A.S.T clutch kit also! Thanks.

Hey guys, Where is the cheapest place to pick up a GENUINE rebuild kit for the stock carbs? Thanks.

Looking to buy a used full Curtis Sparks exhaust system in good condition, standard or big-core. Thanks.

Hey bigred, I have the same TV and stand as you, except I have the 50" I wish I woulda of got the 60" but I'm still happy with my Grand Wega.
