the higher the elevation the thinner the air, and the less fuel you need. so if you jet the shee for 100ft above sea level and then go riding at 5,000ft above sea level - you would need to use smaller jets for less fuel because the air is less dense. this of course is true only if all other variables stay the same. you still have to consider air temp.

my 00 banshee is doing the same thing. it seems to run better cold and above 1/4 throttle. I have a freash top end and have tried all kinds of jetting. I am starting to think that it is an electrical issue. I also noticed its hard to get any color out of the plug during plug chops reguardless of jetting. if I find the answer, I will let you know.

I live and ride from 750ft to 1050ft above sea level. the temp is about 70 to 80degres f lately. I ran maybe 4 to 6 seconds per pass and made 2 passes to give some time on the plugs. the reeds look o.k. check what on the silencers? the packing? was repacked after the rebuild less than aprox. 7 hours ago. I have heard guys saying that ricky stator products have givin them trouble, I do have a ricky stator ignition coil. any ideas.

has anyone had any problems with the ricky stator brand of ignition coil? maybe that is why my banshee is acting funny?

hi, I am new to bansheehq and this is my first post so I hope I did it right. I have a 2000 banshee with fmf sst pipes, k&n filter, no snorkle, and slight airbox mods. this banshee has run great for 3 years and went south. had top end rebuilt , .010 over and ran great for a little while - maybe a ride or two. now if you are idling and take off pinned at wot it bogs bad. if you are at 1/2 throttle for a minute or so and pin it, it bogs. when it finally revs it runs great. when you get it in the powerband it response good and runs great at wot. I took it in to a local yamaha dealer for diag cause I didn't have time to work on it, the tech said that my jetting was way rich. he said that with my mods I should have a 220 main jet. this seems way lean to me. I have a 260 main jet and a 27.5 pilot jet. I read on here about how to do the plug chop and did it - kind of. I didn't have the room to go wot threw all 6 gears. so I did two wot runs from 1st threw 4th, cut the plugs and it looks like I am lean. all I have is about 1/2 to 1mm mark on the plug 1/2 way around. is that due to not running all gears, or are my mains that lean. also I tried to check the idle mix and after idling for 10 minutes on new plugs, there is just a oil film on them, not any real staining. any help or giudance would be great. I am new to this site and pretty new to the banshee. thanks again.
