Big Mike NY Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 Happy New Years Fellas, Decent amount of work performed to my 2003 Banshee (mods in signature). When getting moving from a dead stop or just banging gears the bike is very weak on the low end compared to the mid range and top end which is violent! I was told that the FMF pipe expansion chambers where to big and that smaller expansion chambers on a different pipe would remedy the problem? Any input is appreciated! FYI everything on the bike bike is in top working condition from the plugs to the carbs to the clutch. Advice, comments? Mike Quote
FASTOYS Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 Sounds like jetting issue.. Might get with whoever did the porting and ask them... Woods port , fmfs, and 19cc domes should RIP off the bottom!! Might try to richen the air/fuel screw first..then play with the needle.. Quote
Larry's Shee Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 List all your jets/settings. Lid/no lid? Quote
BigRed350x Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 I don't see an adjustable timing plate in your signature. Do you have one? If not, give Kevin @ HJR a call and get one ordered. His number is in my signature. Great guy to deal with and good prices. If you don't have a timing plate, getting one and adding 4 deg advance will help out the bottom end a ton. - Jared Quote
sleeper06 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 Whats up bro i live in long island,it should rip your arms off down low with a trail port and fmfs,give carb size and existing jets,Where are you located.I just sold my boys 03 with fmfs but it was far from a trail port i wonder if you ended up with it Quote
Big Mike NY Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Posted January 2, 2012 Thanks for the info guys! I will speak to the builder this week and revisit what we should do with the carbs. The carbs are stock, unported and I am not sure what he did jetting wise but I am going to find out. Sleeper06 I live in Stonybrook, right off Nichols Rd. I bought my Banshee brand new from Alba back in 2003. I am not even sure which FMF's I have but I will look at my bill of sale and find out and report back to you guys. So it does seem like the carbs need to be finessed a bit and a timing plate added... Quote
Drk Rider Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 pretty sure he was referring to his carbs not being ported. Quote
Big Mike NY Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Posted January 2, 2012 Sorry for the confusion, the carbs are un-ported... Quote
Big Mike NY Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Posted January 3, 2012 The FMF's are the Fatty's... Quote
mxdinosaur Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 Definately advance the timing. Use an adjustable plate or buy a +4 woodruf key from vitos. I am running Thunder products UFO's on the stock carbs and it reall helps the lowend and throttle response. Some may say it is a gimmick, but after trying them I can attest that they work Quote
