fromygod Posted November 5, 2004 Report Posted November 5, 2004 hey new member here, got a quick question. where can i purchase pilot jets, cause the guys at cycle performance said they have never even seen the pilot jet i brought for them to id. im pretty sure i need to go a size or 2 up cause with the new reeds and pipes i got my mains pretty well dialed in (300 3rd clip 1.5 turns on screw) but i get a wicked bog right off idle, a half sec later she takes offf like a bat outta hell but the bog is starting to piss me off. any suggestions would be awesome. quick shout to banshee brian who showed me a few things the first day i rode my bike @ a rock quarry in i think terryville. anyhow thanks in advance for any advice, dont be afarid to get technical as i am ASE cert.techhere in waterbury Quote
bigboybanshee Posted November 5, 2004 Report Posted November 5, 2004 I've always bought my pilots from the dealer but I hear that Magic Racing has them. Quote
KRMit Posted November 5, 2004 Report Posted November 5, 2004 Welcome to the mighty HQ! You should be able to get the jets from any local motorcycle shop although they may have to order them. Should run you about $5 per jet. I never had to go higher on my pilots when I had duals but that may have just been my quad. It won't hurt anything to try bigger pilots, but I think maybe your needle clips might be one notch off. Quote
FIRST BANSHEE Posted November 6, 2004 Report Posted November 6, 2004 I'd go to the dealer welcome Quote
Nutz Posted November 8, 2004 Report Posted November 8, 2004 I usually get jets and such from Vito's. Never any problems!!!!!!!! Quote
Ducman Posted November 8, 2004 Report Posted November 8, 2004 Try adjusting your air screws in a bit more so they are about 0.5 to 1.0 turns out or drop your needle one clip position to the 4th clip from the blunt end or so. You may be able to tune that hesitation out without going up on the pilot size. Quote
jasonsb Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 Vito's Performance Banshee will have many things you will need for your banshee. He charged shipping so it's nice to buy a few things at a time if you need upgrades or replacement parts. For jets, try the dealer first. Quote
