acfine Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 Here is a list of my mods, before and after: Before: FMF Fatty Exhaust w/ CoreII silencers K&N Filter K&N PowerLid 260 Mains 25 Pilot Needle 3rd Clip After: NOSS Coolhead w/ 21cc Domes - Added FMF Fatty Exhaust w/ CoreII silencers K&N Filter K&N PowerLid Boyesen Carbon Fiber Dual Stage Reeds - Added 300 Mains - Added 25 Pilot Needle 3rd Clip After I did a few mods, my 'shee drinks gas like there's no tomorrow. I fill up, and in less than 2 hrs or right at 2 hrs of riding, trail riding, I'm empty. Now before I added the CoolHead and Reeds and new throttle cable, it seemed like I could ride all day, well, more than 2 hrs before having to use the reserve. Does this sound normal, or is something out of whack? Thanks a ton, Anthony Quote
2001Stroker Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 You're lucky. I might get 1.5 hours on a tank if I'm babying it. This topic has been brought up in the past. From what I remember, most people that replied said the same thing. If I lay on the throttle, I'll get around 45 minutes-1 hour on a tank. Quote
jamebo Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 Yeah, same here. I've never actually timed it out, but estimate around 1 and a half to 2 hours. I have similar mods. I remember that even when mine was stock I noted how much fuel it used, then when I modded it... it used even more. Quote
05.Banshee.SE Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 How does the head and domes feel? I'll be doing the same thing here soon. Did you advance your timing at all? Quote
acfine Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Posted October 24, 2008 How does the head and domes feel? I'll be doing the same thing here soon. Did you advance your timing at all? I love the increased compression... The head/domes is one of the best purchases I made, and yes, you can feel it! Midrange power is STUPID strong! Timing plate goes on today, and to +4. I took the day off, and since here in Dallas, TX it's PERFECT weather for once, not hot nor cold, the 'shee is going to the shop! :biggrin: I bought the Chariot timing plate. Billet, looks damn good, and exactly half the price of RockyMountain... Thanks for all the info guys, I just couldn't believe the gas consumption. :ermm: left me in the middle of a field trying to get home on Reserve. Anthony Quote

acfine Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Posted October 24, 2008 Damn I want to get mine on now!!! When you get the chance, DO IT! It's bad-ass. Took me a few hours to do, very straight forward... Quote
