Yamaha 01 Banshee Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Posted February 24, 2005 What mods/jetting? Checked compression? Cleaned carbs? 329193[/snapback] It has Pro Circuit Pipes, it has aftermarket jets but I dont know what size ,and has K and N Quote
Yamaha 01 Banshee Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Posted February 24, 2005 (edited) I havent cleaned my carbs because I really dont know how and Im scared to mess em up cuz my dad will beat me down. You think you could tell me how Edited February 24, 2005 by Yamaha 01 Banshee Quote
BenBB Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 Led pretty much asked what I would have, it literally could be a million things but I'd start with jetting (especially since you don't know what jets are in there now) and checking the compression. Cleaning the carbs and rejetting are pretty simple, most of all you want to make sure everything is CLEAN, take your time and don't force anything. You might scope out the Jetting FAQ below, got some stuff in there about pullin' the carbs and a whole lot on jettin'. Good luck. Quote
Yamaha 01 Banshee Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Posted February 24, 2005 What do you think about going down a tooth or 2 on the front sprocket. Quote
BenBB Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 If it's a jetting or compression problem it's not gonna help, but if you don't have alot of wide open places to get into 6th or ride in tight stuff all the time it wouldn't hurt (it'll accelerate quicker but you'll lose top speed). Banshees aren't known for their low-end power anyway, but the way you say it bogs it sounds like it might just be rich on the mains and/or airscrews... Quote
