yfz350rider Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 I recently got ahold of an 01 banshee with a completely stock motor. I put on my old pro circuit pipes i had laying around, and also added a K&N airfilter with wrap. When i run it with the lid on the airbox, it runs great. As soon as i take the lid off, when i get to high rpms it dies. Im figuring its way to lean with the lid off so im keeping it on til i get my jets. My elevation is close to sea level. After doing some reading, with the exact mods i listed plus running the box with no lid, 340 maines and number 30 pilots were recommended. Would this be good to try out atleast? With my old 87 (same setup but with diff reeds and coolhead) i ran 280 i believe, not sure on the pilots but i know they were changed also. Now i also have a coolhead with 21cc domes on the way and was wondering what reeds to get. I was trying to decide between carbon tech mids and Vforce3. I ride mostly in pits and trails, with ocassional drags down the street. Quote

yfz350rider Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Posted June 4, 2009 thanks for the info man but what exactly do you mean by "set your mid throttle with the needles" Quote
AKheathen Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 start with the needles in the middle, and adjust up or down if you have a sputter or bog between 1/4-3/4 throttle range Quote
yfz350rider Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Posted June 4, 2009 ok i understand now, mine are in the middle position right now but i will adjust if needed, thanks again for the info Quote
