Get yourself a Clymers Manual if your lost on how to tear down your carbs. It isn't as bad as you think. If your re-jetting your going to have to re-sync your carbs everytime you take them out to exchange mains and pilots. Your going to need to find out where your at now, that way you know where you need to go. Or atleast where you think your going lol

Holy Cow! Thats definetly one way of doing it. I appreciate your advice and how you tune your machine, but that's like taking a row boat to get to England man. I'm still getting my feel how to tune banshee's and what factors all have to be working together to make her run like a stripped ass ape but I would rather just look at what mods have been done that alters the engines performance. Then get somewhere close within the ball park and go from there. But, I mean doing that is pretty much what your saying. Your just going about it a different way, but still looking for the same result. To each their own I suppose. I like Sleepers view on tuning and how he looks at it. I think mine and his ideas on tuning is pretty much the same except he is a hell of a lot more experienced than me

#1: Make sure the you have ground off enough of the tapered edge that the new idle screws protrude far enough into the throat of the carb. to hold the slides up. #2: You need to make sure that the T.O.R.S. has been FULLY DISCONNECTED. There is a little black box underneath the front left fender that needs to be disconnected in order for your bike to idle properly. There is a wire that runs from the throttle lever box on the handlebars to that box that needs to be disconnected. #3: Make sure your cross over tube between the carbs is installed. (trust me.... been there done that) Like stated above, there is a bad ass "How-To" on this install that Savage wrote up that is extremely helpful. II used it when I did mine and it was great. It's located in a different topic forum. It's stickied. Go take a look at it. It has good pics with it too. Good luck

Will do man thank ya. I didn't ohm the caps yesterday because my omh meter was buried in the back seat of my work truck. I'll dig it out today and check that out. I agree with richening that needle all the way. I think today I should be able to get it running 100%. I'll let ya know.

Alright boy's here where we're at after tonight's tuning session. Started with the 300 main, needle on the 5th position, 27.5 pilot. Fell on its damn face! I played with the air screw from 1/2 tun all the way to 2 turns. The more I ran the screw out counter-clockwise the more the idle ran away with its self. Telling me it was too big. Best I could do was 1/2 turn out and the idle was STILL to high. Nothing extreme or anything but it was just to high. So...Feeling stumped I decied to take the needle position all the way up to the 2nd clip just to see what happens. Didn't do shit which I figured but hey... I'm feelin this whole situation out. So after a couple cigerettes and a few tools thrown around the garage, I kept with the 300's because I knew for a damn fact the 320's were too fat. So I opted to put the 25 pilots back in and put the needle back on the 4th clip. If that didn't work then I was completely out of ideas, except to build a leak-down tester and start looking for air leaks. well WHAT DO YA KNOW!! the bitch liked it! But of course when I just started to get back in the ball park it was getting too late to keep flyin up and down my road without pissing the neighbors off so I had to call it quits for the night. As it sits now, 300 mains, Needle in 4th clip (rich side), 25 pilot, 1 turn out. I'm in the ball park now atleast but now it is bogging slightly from 1/4 to 1/2 but once you hit the power band it takes off. I took it out on the main highway for more of a high speed run. It did alright and it carried itself but it would "ping" or "pop" here and there but it isn't lean I checked the plugs when I got back to the house. Having brand new plugs in it makes it more difficult for me to read them. Sounds stupid but I would rather read plugs that have a few hours on them. I need to think on that piece and decide where I need to go next. I'm CLOSE! but just quite not there. Thoughts Anyone???

I haven't done a plug chop yet because I can't get the damn thing to run good enough to do one! I'm going to go put the 300's in and go from there. I was just taught what a "plug chop" was about two weeks ago from Jeff at F.A.S.T. From what I understand is that if the ring is closer to the top of the electrode your lean, and if it is more towards the bottom your rich. or vice versa. I would have to pull up the e-mail again. My only option after that is to install the 290's I have but if that doesn't work I'm going to have to buy more jets because thats all I have on me. I'll check back in here in a bit and tell ya'll how it went.....

Ive read alot on this website about people that have the same mods that I do I have seen them all run the 27.5 pilot. Hell, Jeff even said himself that the more stock banshee's like the 27.5. I started with one turn out yesterday and went from there. At about 1.5 to 2 it seemed to like it. When I get home from work today I'm going to start over with the 300 main and play with the air screw. If im still not getting any results I'll play with the needle position. What is kinda weird to me, is that the left silencer pipe was cooler than the right one was and was also smoking more. The right silencer was hotter and smoking less?? weird?? I wish I could have up-loaded those damn pics. of the plugs so ya'll could see them. I feel confident about making this change today. Hopefully i will see some better results. This shit gets discouraging haha

#1: Get rid of Throttle Overide Retarded Shit, order the removal kit from F.A.S.T. #2: Tear your carbs down and record your current set up w/ elevation With that info alone we should be able to help more.

Fantastic Sleeper, Thanks man. I'll give it shot tomorrow when I get off work. Mother nature has finally decided to coroperate with me. I've got 4.5 gallons of 40:1 mixed up with 91 octane. Can I go ahead and run it? Anymore more suggestions or different views from everyone is appriciated. Basically I'm just being a little bitch about making the adjustments because I'm afraid of blowing it up haha.

Ok, scratch that my files are too big to up load sorry

Guys I need your help on this pretty bad. I have an 06' shee that I bought about a month and a half ago and I have made some small, but good mods to since then. I haven't been able to take it out on a full ride yet do to bad weather and work. I am trying to make it to a race (sand drags 300ft) in two weeks so I need this damn thing tuned on the natts ass and I am having HELL. I live on a small dead end road that I buzz up and down on to make adjustments on it. The bike is pretty much ALL STOCK except for the following: * FMF Fatties, PowerCore II Silencers * TORS delete kit * NO air box, K&N Pod When I went and looked at this thing it ripped! I mean it ran damn good. Brought it home and buzzed it around here and there to get it all out of my system until I go out on a ride. It slowly developed a small bog on the low end, but once you hit the power band it hooked up and moved. The bog progressively got worse so I decided to tear the carbs down and look and see what this bike was jetted at, which was: *320 Main, Jet Needle 5N7 2nd clip from the blunt end ( on the rich side). 25 Pilot. My current elevation is: 500-550. Pretty much sea level. So after doing alot of research and listening to different folks on this website (Very big help) I figured that this set up was WAY rich and that was my problem. But before making any moves I contacted F.A.S.T. racing and asked advice. Jeff agreed with what I explained to him and was given advice to switch to either a 300 OR 290 Main, and a 27.5 Pilot. Here is where the problem begins. Atleast where I started and am currently stuck at. I installed the 27.5 pilots but went ahead and kept with the 320's in fear of going lean and played with the needle position instead. Right now the bike is currently set up with the needle on the 3rd position ( in the middle) air screw 2 turns out. Still bogs like HELL and I can NOT get it to go away. It picks up on the low end alright, but when you hit 1/4 to WOT it bogs. I did not play with the needle anymore because my left pipe was smoking more than the right, and was also cooler. My right side pipe was hotter and was smoking less. I'm going to attatch some pics of the plugs I took so maybe this will help explain this better. I run 40:1 pre-mix with yamalube 2R. I installed new plugs when I began all of this. Yes, I have the carb slides in correctly. Yes, they are in sync. I have made sure I have spark to both cylinders. I made sure the wires on the coil were making a good connection. Compression is good on both cylinders (within 5 PSI of each other 120 on the left, 124 on the right). I don't know where to go with this?? I need MAJOR help please. I'm sorry this is a damn novel but I am trying to make this as clear as possible to everyone. Needing help guys....

I think Trinity can help this gentlemen................Fellas??

I use one. I think they are a good thing to have for chain alignment like stated above. Bought it from F.A.S.T. I like it

Nice to have you apart of the crew. Take your time looking at your possible new purchase. Don't get too excited and make a purchase you may regret after you load it up and bring it to the house. This is going to be YOURS so don't be afraid to ask the guy questions, LOTS and LOTS of questions about the bikes history and mods. See if the pipes are warm when you show up. You want the bike cold so you can see how well it starts. Take a compression gauge with you see what's goin on inside that thing. Hope it works out for ya. Let us know how it turns out. Again, Welcome to BHQ

Good rule of thumb that I have heard is there is suppose to be NO MORE than 5 psi difference between both cylinders.. May want to look into doing a top end rebuild soon. What is your current mods?

Right side, silencer clear of debris? More than likely not the problem just giving u another angle

This thread is pretty close to the problem that I am currently going through. I live in extreme west ark. (10 mins from OK. state line) 500 elev. FMF fatties, power coreII sliencers, pods w/ no air box, tors delete on stock carbs. Im bogging like crazy on the low to mid range. Tore the carbs apart this weekend to investigate what my setup was because I just bought this bike about a month ago and I have only got to ride it a hand full of times. 320 Main, 25 pilot, needle on 4th clip from the blunt endI(rich). I contacted F.A.S.T. Racing for a litttle guidance and spoke with them about what my problem was and was givin advice to step down to a 290 or a 300 main and a 27.5 pilot, then play with the needle position. I agree to this because I feel at the elev. i'm at that I'm setup WAY to rich at the moment. I have an adjustable timing plate I bought recently but I am waiting to get the tune right before I put it on. Advice on this matter would be great and much appreciated.

X2 on the clymer manual. I'm fairly new to the banshee commnunity, been riding ever since I was little but first time owning the shee. I tore into my carbs this weekend to get a better grasp on what my bike was running so I know how to tune this beast. Couldn't have done it without the clymer.

LMFAO!! Love people with a good since of humor. Oh yeah good luck with the "baaaa DING!" dilemma

I just purchased one from F.A.S.T. is there anyone running this timimg plate? I've heard nothing but good things about those guys and figured an adjustable timing plate was just as good as the next. Any feedback about this?

Man I'm sorry, but after finding that forum about the "Trinity Saga" and reading 10,000 pages of it, I couldn't resist. That was the funniest damn forum I've read for a REALLY long time. Props

WINDYCITYJOHN400 is the guy you wanna talk to about Trinity. He's VERY knowledgeable about them from what I read

You need to see if you are getting spark to the right cylinder. Then you need to make sure you have your jetting correct. Also was there anything that was messed with I.E. what did you mess with lol

Thanks fellas. I've got a 1 1/2 quarts of yamalube that the previous owner gave me so i'm just gonna use it until I run out. 40:1 & 93 octane it is.

oops...forgot about the search button. My fault
