ive got those same sizes on mine and they grip great in the trails-mine came off a can am 450, the guy said they were too tall at 21' cos he does motor x. i only really ride tight trails with them when off road and they still look brand new

have checked the obvious sites like motosort.com etc and ebay but if anyoneone knows of others please say!! i desperately need the blue and white left side tank shroud sticker- i want my bike to stay stock graphics and have all them all intact except this one-previous owner blasted it with a jetwash. its fully road legal in the UK and want it looking as it should- Proper in my opinion cheers all!

I got just T6s with a filter and went to the welsh mountains on the weekend worrying i wouldn't keep up as there were 15 of us inc 4 banshees. 2 had Athena kits both with VF4s. They could not get away from me on dirt or road. People bash the T6s but they perform great if you want a fun alrounder. A well riden fully stock (bar the k&n) with T6s is a fun bike and souds great. Put it this way i caned my bike all weekend on road and dirt - first trip since getting legal for the street and she was faultless.just ebay mikuni hex jets, theyr just a few dollars. Get it right the first time as on our trip one of the Athena shees blew, probably down to rushing the jetting

Welcome to the addiction, all my mates have various 4strokers but i would never even consider not having my banshee, i too am going down the bolt on route as in over in the uk and don't really trust the builders over here to touch it. Ill enjoy mine with just pipes and good suspension until i eventually go 421 serval. Pipes and shocks will amaze you

X2 i have to do the same here in the UK- you can get anyting thing from the US you want.

check out MOTOSPORT.COM i found this site for oem

does your motor rev real high- even for a banshee? I have had to do alot of research on jetting when i started to mod my stock bike- i know stock are 200 mains (190 and up to 210 or 220 are supplied from the dealers depending on altitude/temp of location of where your shee was sold new) needle jet on middle clip of 5 and 25 pilot.. jetting is ruled by your mods, altitude and temp. there is no 'i have fattys so need 270s, or i have toomeys so need 280s' rule to go by. since you say you have 190s in a bike with k&n no lid and fattys you must be way too lean unless your way up above the clouds or on Mars!! my advice would be to post your altitude and temperature and dont ride her until some of the guys who are far more knowledgable than me on here speak up! i know you've had the bike for 3 yrs but a lean condition will FUCK your motor- maybe not imediately but it WILL! search the site and be prepared to read up- it'l save you $$$$$$s do a plug chop also on fresh spark plugs AFTER you get more advice- but need altitude and temp

im definately gona try the toomey needles- im gona dyno my bike as soon as i get it back from the shop with the toomeys fitted- its being made street legal at the mo. my main jetting is dialled in well but my mid range needs a bit of tinkering. let us know how you get on with the T6s and the VF4s- 27.5 sounds right as im sure you need to rejet the pilot for these reeds so as you said you should be on the money there. just remember the golden rule of jetting- change one thing at a time and take the time needed. then if somethings not right you know where you went wrong- if you change a needle setting at the same time as a main jet it can get complicated as well as fuckin frustrating. when you say 4th clip do you mean 4th from the pointy end i presume? where im running stock needle it'l be on the 3rd - middle of 5 right- so when i go with the toomeys and i want to richen it up a little i think i should go for the 4th from pointy end and go from there. do let me/us know how you get on buddy

your looking rich to me-I have the T6s at 500-1000 ft (although its a bit cooler here) on a pretty much stock bike- - it needs to be a light coffee colour. have you tried a plug chop on the 290s or 280s. i know people will say 'waste of perfectly good plugs' but for the cost of that compared to the potential damage due to poor jetting i happily chopped my plugs to make sure im as dialled in as poss. im still running 25 pilot and stock needle- i have the 27.5s and toomey needles but am yet to try these- did you run the T6s with the stock needle before the toomeys? ive read on here people cant get on with the toomey needles and went back to the stocks- how are you getting on with dialling in the midrange?

i'd be up for an RD500 V4 2 stroke motor in a banshee-been done yet?

im thinking of one too as my hand aches with clutch pull due to it being broken when i was a kid

after some research i read- when converting US IRO to UK RON 90=95 and 94=98?? 98 has been available in the UK for years now and SHELL has just brought out their 99 RON octane. my shee is stock motor with just toomey T6 pipes and KN filter and is jetted just right for sea level and temp (although i read octane does not affect jetting right??) is this too higher octane for a stock motor? I'm looking into getting a NOSS or CHARIOT head for more comp/bottom end/rebuildability and bling factor- when i get my crank welded and don't know which cc domes to get as they are chosen through US ROI fuel ratings I currently run the 98 with Putoline MX7 premix which are the best pum fuel available in the UK Anyone have any knowledge with this?- want as lower cc as poss and being in the UK get parts from US so have to be very specific with my purchases cheers

I say listen to hoppedupandcutdown- hes talking some sense- i have no mechanical skills at all really but have a motor mechanic brother and the guys on here for advice and the satisfaction you get from working on the banshees is great especially in a world now made up of only new 4 strokes- all my friends ride big raptors etc and they still can't admit i have more fun on my shee and theirs cost 2/3 times as much as mine. Get the banshee and make it your own and another + point- you will NEVER struggle to get parts- oem or aftermarket due to them being built from '87-2010 and this means the market is competetive = good deals

give the op a break- type into ebay- banshee genuine keihin 30 and see what comes up- big $$$s but why are they not on the website?? are these fakes then??

hey, yeh X2 on the post in wanted- guys on here will help you out
