@@banshee_rider@@ Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 what is your setting? (the size of the main jet and the pilot jet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheebroke Posted April 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 right now stock mains ,jets,pilot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 I'd say start around 330 mains and maybe a 27.5 pilot...Better to start off rich rather than lean. You haven't run it with the pipes and stock jetting have you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheebroke Posted April 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 lol no the bike is not running right now but will be this weekend ! hey Banchetta can u help me out ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenBB Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 If you're gonna keep the airbox lid on, I'd start with 300 mains, 27.5 pilots, airscrews 1.5 turns out, and leave the needles in the stock middle clip position. That's assuming 32:1 premix, close to sea level, and 60-80 degrees F. Should be a safe starting point, and you can dial it in from there... BTW you'll get better airflow if you can run without the airbox lid, but I'd go straight to 320 mains and 30 pilots for that, but if you really need it on for mud/water protection (or to keep your air filter on), keep it. Good luck, hope shee runs soon!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banchetta Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 I'd start w/ 330-350 mains depending on area, stock pilots, needles in the 4th clip from the blunt end, and adjust the needles....Ben is right about the lid, if you can take it off, makes a huge difference...let us know how you make out...

sheebroke Posted April 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 thanks for the info guys . well all i do is woods riding and sometimes gravel roads the places i ride have alot of water (deepwater,finger lakes ) i might jus cut it 1.5 think that would be ok ? thanks again for the info . ill keep ya posted jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 i might jus cut it 1.5 think that would be ok ? thanks again for the info . ill keep ya posted As long as you don't go through water more than say a foot deep you'll be OK...I cut the 1.5 inches off the back of the airbox and you will notice a nice difference in response. She seemed to have crisper throttle and pulled harder through the powerband. But if you ride through a lot of deep water I would not recommend doing it, simply because it only takes one good gulp of water through the intake to f*ck you're shit up!!!

Nutz Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Ive got about the same setup as you and run a 300 main with stock pilot and needles on the 4th clip. I used the supplied needles that came with the T-5 set. I might up the mains to a 330 and the pilot to 27.5 but right now it runs great...... Good Luck!!!

sheebroke Posted April 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 wooohoo the stator did the trick . i got to ride a lil today nothing real hard for some reason the clutch was sliping it never sliped befor any ideas ? i played with the adj. screw on the perch and it helped alot . i also noticed a slite low end bog bout about 1/2 throttle maybe a lil less then half? as of right now im still running stock pipes and filter (lid on ) . im pretty sure the mains are 200's and poilot are 25's (stock)? i removed the snorkel , so i need to rejet right ? if i put in 260 mains would that be too much ? im at 1200 feet above sea level if i remember right , 60-80 deg F . iv got a K&N filter comin so im gonna wait till then to put my pipes on (T-5's) like i said above it has been bored .20 . im gonna mess with it in the mornin maybe adj. the air screws clean the carbs up . sorry for the novel . iv been readin benbb's jetting FAQ so maybe someday i wont feel so stupid hehe . what do ya think benbb and or banchetta ? jeff .....(sheeWASbroke) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03 ORANGE SHEE Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 alot of t-5 owners will notice that bog until you buy the toomey $50 needles,then that will fix the problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banchetta Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 stock pipes,.......I'd just adjust the air screws... the stock pipes don't flow too much and dont' react as well to air filter and box mods.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banchetta Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 So you switched the wires and the opposite cylinder dropped out...correct? If so, then you have a bad plug wire or bad coil...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
