Newer top-end my ass ,, ran a compression test yesterday and found it to be 60 in one and 50 in the other ... top-end kit here I come .

they might be half assed , i did pull both carbs out and cleaned out the mains and blew air threw the tube that the main jet sits in and did the same with the Pilot jets ,and the same with what i believe are air jets .pulled the air screw and cleaned it too . when i put it all back i first made sure the slides came up at the same time and had the air screws set at 1.5 turns out . after a quick warm up I turned the air screws out a quarter turn at a time which took just that first quarter turn out ward . any turns beyond that it fell off peak idle . I haven't yet . misplaced my compression tester and can not find it right now . as far as I know this Banshee just has the airbox lid cut off most the way ,FMF SST Headers and FMF powercore 2 tail pipes . This is my first banshee actually i got it for my wife . i ride dirt bikes most the time. does not have a cool head and your right about dropping sizes as altitude goes up . most the time here where I live ,your able to get by with opening up air boxes and getting nice pipes with out jetting as factory sets are generally lean at sea level but a bit rich here .

Alright just popped carbs off and took a look at the mains and pilots the mains are 290 Pilot jets are 25 . Needle placement unkwown . pilots were again a bit clogged so fixed that . elevation 5,000+ft

Thanks For the advice fella's . i warmed up the bashee and was going to use the choke method to find if I'm lean or righ and found that with the choke out warmed up the Idle is so high i cant take it for a ride . does this indicate I'm running EXTREAMLY lean durring normal use here ? i know I my dirt bike i just got done jetting that bad boy out and when I pull out the choke it dies which is what i figure it's supossed to do when warmed up but this Banshee is not doing that .

its a 2003 Yamaha Banshee Process of kick starting this beast when sitting for a day is like this . Choke fully engaged couple squirts of fuel from throttle couple of slow pumps of the kickstart start kicking about 7 or 8 times Nothing another 7 or8 times nothing again and again for 10 minutes or more . Finally it starts but i have to hold the choke fully out as far as it goes . Dies couple more kickstarts it starts , again hold the choke fully open by hand ,further then the last notch . carefully give it a little throttle and sounds good . Ride .... Now after all that , I can kickstart first time ,every time through out the day unless i leave it off for 4 or mores hours then it starts giving me trouble again but not as much as the beginning of the day . When I bought this banshee I was told it had a fresh topend . plugs were new but i changed them again any ways and the fluids . it does have a K&N air filter and the air box is modded up . the lid is cut off 3/4 of the way . other then that I installed a TORS removal kit with the idle screws but long before i did that this hard starting was a problem yet . as far as jetting goes . I really dont know what in there .i did clean the carbs but didnt bother looking at whats in there . Any sugestions? Thanks

Thanks for all the advice . I ran it on the track yesterday and hit some trails and it preformed great . still havent put the idle screws in but hasn't affected anything yet . I Will get it done soon though . already have the hardware and all . Being a welder and fabricator tapping seems easy enough ,done this kind of thing many times before .its just that the instructions state they have been getting complaints of folks cracking open the tunnel were the screw goes . that is why i am concerned .

Hi there . new to the Forum . I got my wife a Pink Banshee . awesome machine . I got the tors removal kit due to the faulty TORS that were on there . I set the idle where the cables meet the cap to the carbs . I can move the handlebars both directions fully and do not have a increase in Rpm's . I moved the quad around making sure that it doesn't snag and all seems good . I did get the idle screw kit as well but hesitant to install due to the risk of f**king it up . Is my set alright to use or am I asking for trouble . thanks
