Who is the guy on BHQ who is doing "woods porting". Alot of guys have used him. I'm looking for it too.

Monk, give me a call. waiting on you......

I have a buddy that is seriously looking for a Banshee. He would like to see the progression or better pics. Do you have them posted in another site? In not, here is the e-mail: [email protected]

I'm with you with riding, but the guys want to go out with the trucks.. I'll get it in one way or another. Have a graet weekend and thanks for all your help. Joe

All the parts are in... 1. Lighten flywheel 2. Puller 3. Timing Plate I'm trying to set some time aside this weekend to get them on. I'll post up how I made out.. It sounds like a four wheelin' weekend though.. chevyboys.com (I don't know how the wife puts up with me) I have too many toys.. so she says..jt

Hmmmm, that's where I'm at right now. I may be right on because she runnning real crisp and that on-off power band is almost gone.

Thanks, I'll check it out. Do you know if any of those new coolants additives would help me? Which ones? jt

I have only owned this Banshee for about one month. It

Sweet! I stuck with the 280s, but I think I could move up to 300. I ran out of time to give it a try. I can't wait to get the flywheel on. Oh and I repacked the Toomeys, they sound even better!

The results are in

The only jet that controls your idle is the pilot jet. Did you check if it was clogged? When was the last time the carb (s) were cleaned? Did it ever idle with the current combo? My Banshee did the same thing when I bought it. I discovered a clogged pilot jet in only one of the carbs. I cleaned both carbs and it idled fine. The needle clip and/or jet really only comes into play around half throttle. Check this site for some great info: http://www.dfn.com/benkaren/jetfaq.html

Thanks everyone for all the great advice. The flywheel, timing plate and the proper puller will be here early next week. Over the weekend, I

I talked to Toomey today and found this on their web site. Very interesting...... "On the Banshee the most out-of-phase area is right before it synchronizes with the pipe.... so 4000 to 5000 rpm, then at 6000 it starts harmonizing it's pumping action and you feel the pull in the handlebars! What is happening actually is that this wave is being reflected back and forth inside the intake tube (tract) regardless of the fact that the air is only moving in one direction, the wave, which has little if any mass, can travel in both directions and does... Each time it does, it passes the needle jet and when it does, it pulls fuel. When this happens there might be a piston stroke with several helpings of fuel instead of just one, therefore it is rich. The intake tract is too short, and this is one reason why it is a bad idea to put the little K&N filters on the back of each carb, effectively shortening the intake tract even more. Because this is an RPM specific phenomena, it cannot be "jetted out" because conditions change in response to RPM, not throttle position. If it was at a particular throttle setting, then we could easily say, that at this setting, certain circuits are active and make adjustments accordingly, but it is not. Raise the rpm a little and it goes away. This is one of the reasons Yamaha chose to put the "cross-over" tube between the intake manifolds. This makes one intake tube think it is larger than it really is (as far as sound propagation goes) therefore lowering the frequency of the sound wave, dampening the effects. You can try this experiment yourself, just remove the crossover tube and be sure to plug up the holes in the intake manifolds from which the tube came, then ride it. You will see the difference!"

I assume the plate will come with directions, but how does it work? It allows the plate to pivot to adjust the timing? What does it replace or is it just an add on to allow adjustments? I guess I

Sounds and acts like your pilot jet fell out. Did you check if they are both in?

Wow, thanks for the detailed information! I will get on it this weekend and try it out. When I turn the air screws out that's leaner, right?

Hey thanks What

I'm still running the stock needles on the 3rd spot. What needles are you running and in what location?

Yes, my top end power is good. I just want to clear up the transition power in the middle. It

I just installed T5s on my 02 Banshee. Boy these pipes kick ass! Here is my set-up: T5s, K&N, stock lid no snorkel, stock carbs, 27.5 pilot, 280 mains, clip in the middle. I'm at sea level. My question is the bike is a little flat (or fat?) in the middle of the power band right before it gets up on the pipe. Once it

still have the K&N? What about any type of reed set-up?
