midlifecrisis Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 OK, so I took the advice of a bunch of friends and members and switched back to the thumb throttle. I also installed a modquad billet intake for my stock 26mm carbs, and modified the airbox. I also switched to a streamline stainless clutch cable. I run a prodesign filter, and a proflow adaptor plate. After this I went for a ride, and the bike didnt seem to be running right. I know I will have to rejet etc.... but it wound up like it was redlining when I came to a stop, but the throttle didnt seem stuck there, it seemed to wind itself up, without me even hitting the gas? Then I shut it off, took a quick look in at the carb slides, which seemed to be seated right. I reattached my filter and started it up, it bogged out horribly and didnt want to really go anywhere, when I did get it home, it wouldnt idle right either obviously. Any thoughts?

brugal Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 You really need to rejet. Check and make sure you set the slides properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midlifecrisis Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Im working on it, oh and in case it matters, I also changed my reed petals out for Boyesens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brugal Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 I also changed my reed petals out for Boyesens. Just the petals not the cages? If so, you should be fine. Aftermarket or ported cages, you would need to rejet for that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midlifecrisis Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Pretty sure the cages are Boyesens, and that they were ported when I bought the bike, I noticed a cracked petal, so I replaced them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jereme6655 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 More than likely it started reving up on you because it was lean at idle......and the cracked reed pedal could have been the reasoning for the bog when you restarted. Rejet it and do a plug chop to tell if your jetting is correct. We can get you close to the right jetting if you list all your mods.....but every banshee is slightly different....that's the reason for plug chops on all banshees.

midlifecrisis Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Just for the record, the petals were changed before it started to rev up. Ive got some jets on order, so we'll see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdzbangshee Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Just for the record, the petals were changed before it started to rev up. Ive got some jets on order, so we'll see what happens you could of put the carb sliders in backwards also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midlifecrisis Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I usually keep track of which one goes where with a piece of tape, but not this time. Why would it make a difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glamis321 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 The slides have a cutout on one side, and they need to be facing out i believe (towards the airfilter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
