First time jet size

[Screamin Banshee92]

I have a 92 banshee with Dg pipes and a K&N air filter . Filter was on when I got it not my choice.. But I put the pipes on and was thinking I should jet it. 200 is main and 25 pilots I think thats stock. SO would I go up one to 210 and 27.5? OR what would you recomend? Thanks

 

I live in PA so temps always change I just want a summer setting thats when I rode the most.

id say more like 270 and remove your air lid... or half of it like i did.. more jet for the cold.. less jet for the heat

more jet for sea level.. less jet for the mile high club

Ok that seem huge don't it?

My toomeys came with 270's and 280's. Should be close or at least a good starting point.

are you running the air box? Are you running the lid? Are you running the snorkel? Is the air box modded in anyway?

[Screamin Banshee92]

Yes, I have the stock box lid just a K& N filter. My ride is all stock except for the pipes and filter

Stick with the stock pilots and move to around a 250 main jet for starting.

Ok i will pick some mains up tommorrow. Do I need to change anything with the needles?

the local dealer will charge you out of your ass for jets. try to contact a dealer on here for some ranges or jets. I got a all my jets off ebay from a guy i have been buying from and he sells them to me at around $2.50 a jet depending on how many i buy at one time. I ended up getting 270-340x2's and 27.5 pilots for around $30 shipped. If you ever plan on taking off your lid. Which will really wake up the banshee!!!! I would try to start a collection of jets around the range of 240-320. It will give you room for add on parts, temp, elevation and fuel/oil mix.

 

As for the needle. I start with the needle in the middle. But when you jet, you need to set the main jet first. Then the needle, then the pilot/ air/fuel screw.

I would also spend the $50 on getting a TORS kit. It will aid in the help of jetting your carbs. That is if you dont already have the kit. You will also need to learn how to sync the carbs. 75% of the time you can git rid of the low end bog from having your carbs breathing the same. There is a tool you can get from one of the dealers on here for around $35ish. There is a guy that did a HOW2 on how to sync the carbs and is pinned on the forums.

 

I also point this website out to people new to banshees and need help understanding how the carbs works and how to fix your jetting guide line.

We prob should copy and past this Carb tuning and Pin it so it is on the forum and not another website.

 

I hope this helps. Just keep asking ?'s and also remember to use the SEARCH Button!!! There has been almost everything asked and answered on here. If you cant find it just write back and People on here will give you their .02.

 

Best of luck, have fun and be safe.
