HANDYMAN IS RETARD

[Handyman]

I feel like such a retard. I was out side staring at the banshee when I hear this distinct sound of a banshee. I walk out of my garage and see this blue banshee come flying down my street. The rider looks over and see my banshee all lit up with the halogen lights on it since it's dark outisde. He rolls over and asks when I'm doing and I give hima run down. He takes it for a ride as I ride his. We get back to my garage and he saids it's running slightly lean. I change the clip postion one more time to the 5th from top. Took for a ride at 9pm and from what I can tell the problem went away. I can't believe I overlooked this. I messed with the clip position earlier when I realized it was running lean. I will say his banshee isn't as strong as mine and he even admitted to it. BUt once again I overlooked the simplest of all things. I feel like such a dork.

Dont be so hard on yourself man! I would bet that 60-75% of all the Banshees out there (and some other two-strokes) are jetted incorrectly. Pat yourself on the back for actually knowing how to fix it. I am new to it myself but I am becoming more experienced with it but almost every modded quad I jump on I notice there is a problem in the jetting in atleast 1 circuit (that includes 4-strokes). Only a small percentage of the people know what and how to fix there problem. Most people just say "I think it should run faster, here *hands $100* fix it for me" 20 minutes later they are off and going . Like I said, don't be so hard on yourself, you could be that guy paying me to rejet.

Thanks. Yeah I was tempted a few times today to take it to the shop and have them fix it now I'm glad I didn't. I'll know 100% if I fixed it tomorrow whe nI take it on a short full throttle, high speed run. I didn't want to do it at night and have a chance of hitting someone or someone hitting me.

As easy as it is to change needle positions, it's almost always overlooked, however, it's one of THE most important tuning functions.

 

Glad you got it tho.

After changing the needle position it's a whole new bike. I took it for a short full throttle ride through all the gears and It's got some balls, and pretty big ones at that. I thought my CR250 was fast but it just doesn't compare. Thanks everyone for helping me out with everything.
