Starwriter Posted August 29, 2014 Report Posted August 29, 2014 Have a safe ride. I applaud you on all your patience through this. Even though at times it didn't seem like you were very patient, you struggled, read, got jumped on, read some more, asked some more questions, and made your way through it. Many people would have given up in one way or another. Sold it, burned it, or taken it to a dealer. By working through this, you have gained considerable knowledge it tuning. Now, go have fun. Just remember, never, ever, just "go for 1 more ride". If someone says, "Hey, we're going for 1 more ride. Wanna go with us?". That's your que to just pack it up and call it a day. It's always on that "1 more ride", that you crash really bad and get seriously hurt. So, you just ride and ride and ride, and then call it a day. Quote

It was this Banshee too, it just wasn't mine at the time. Quote
ETR174 Posted August 30, 2014 Author Report Posted August 30, 2014 Ok I didn't do a plug chop but I did just run it down the road and the 1st and 2nd gear is good but 3rd and up stays at a RPM range for the top. Quote
Starwriter Posted August 30, 2014 Report Posted August 30, 2014 I have no idea what you are trying to say. Quote
ETR174 Posted August 30, 2014 Author Report Posted August 30, 2014 So about that hesitation, now its all the time and it stays. I have to give it a good couple of blimps of the throttle for it to get past it. Other than that my bike runs solid. I went to a Yamaha dealer and bought another 270 jet so I'm going to pop them in and put new spark plugs in. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted August 31, 2014 Report Posted August 31, 2014 Have you looked at the FMF site to see what they want the needle setting at? I know your shindy needles appear to be the same length but have you measured them with a caliper or something fairly precise? Have you checked to see if the tapers are the same. Just seems like you had it close, then played with needles now you have a problem? 0- 1/8 pilot 1/8 - 1/4 pilot to needle transition 1/4-3/4 is entirely needle 3/4-wot is main There is no ifs ands or butts.

ETR174 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Posted August 31, 2014 FMF says middle position needle. I put the 270 in, reset the needle position, and now the top end really comes out. I drag raced the Banshee that was my dad's yesterday and beat it by a long shot and the top end really came out, no hesitations. Quote
Starwriter Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 Cool. Glad you got it sorted out. By starting at 280 and then dropping back to 270, you know for sure that you're not on the ragged edge of a meltdown. Now you also know what too rich on the main feels like. Good job! 1 Quote
trickedcarbine Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 ^ my exact thoughts. It's more work. But it eliminates broken junk. 1 Quote
ETR174 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Posted September 1, 2014 Yeah. I'm on my way home from up north and it ran good so no complaints really. I want to pull the Fatty's off and see how much shit is in there that I can just burn out. I wish I had money just to buy CPI inframes and throw away those shitty FMF's. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 You interested in possibly working off a set of rockets in a couple months? Been booking side work for once my leg heals up. I'll be full bore. Quote
ETR174 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Posted September 5, 2014 Nah man sorry I just wouldn't have the money. I am supposed to be going up to the dunes one more time this year so I will be very happy with how much of a power difference it has now. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted September 5, 2014 Report Posted September 5, 2014 I was asking if you wanted a job.... Quote
ETR174 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Posted September 5, 2014 Oh. No sorry man I can't. Just out of curiosity what city do you live in? Quote
