LanceG60 Posted November 23, 2003 Report Posted November 23, 2003 It seems like my Banshee doesnt wanna let the gears rev out as far as they want to. I had this problem before, and I just did a top end and rode it easy today and it still does it. It seem like it is hitting rev limiter (or gives the same feeling) very quick. Its just like youre in powerband then BADABAP! Haha hope that gets my point across. What would cause this? Quote
erbilabuc Posted November 23, 2003 Report Posted November 23, 2003 i think one of your cylinders might not be firing. is one side colder then the other? Quote
LanceG60 Posted November 23, 2003 Author Report Posted November 23, 2003 I'll check next time I ride, but it pulls harder than ever since I just did my top end so I'm thinking they are both firing. What does detonation sound like in these quads? I always watch out for that in my car because of my supercharger but could that be what I am calling an early rev limiter? Thats just the best way I can explain it. Sort of like it just breaks up slightly before you think you should shift. If I go through all the gears quick, I can avoid it. What do you think? I mean the bike is lifting the wheels going into 3rd so thats what makes me think the power is there from both cyls. Quote
Screamin_Banshee Posted November 24, 2003 Report Posted November 24, 2003 Sounds like detonation to me.. I had a problem very similar and ended up having a piston catch and stoppin the motor dead in its tracks. It is either caused my a lean condition or improper fuel octane for the motor (I think) or possibly to high on the timing? Might wanna check into those, and the jetting to make sure its on too Quote
Spank_N_U Posted November 25, 2003 Report Posted November 25, 2003 sounds like you are running lean...bump yourself up about three jet sizes. if its fat back off one size and check it...but it sounds like you are lean to me. maybe running out of gas at wide open throttle. Quote
LanceG60 Posted November 25, 2003 Author Report Posted November 25, 2003 So I have everything stock but Cool Head and 19cc domes, 2 to 1 Dyno Port exhaust. What is the biggest jet size I should start at? I run 100 straight mixed 32:1. Quote
txblueshee Posted November 25, 2003 Report Posted November 25, 2003 It's either detonation or your lean, the only rev-limiter on the 'shee is the pipes. Mike Quote
Meat Posted November 25, 2003 Report Posted November 25, 2003 First thought that popped into my head was he's running lean. Quote
