bansheeman350 Posted January 12, 2006 Report Posted January 12, 2006 What would happen if you place the clip on the 5th notch on the stock needle? Would that make the bike pull even harder or nothing will happen at all. Quote

Banchetta Posted January 15, 2006 Report Posted January 15, 2006 I'm sure Ellison knows what you're talking about also, more just referencing that you're probably new to jetting etc. In reference to your question. If you raise the needle (move the clip towards the pointy end) you'll be richening up your midrange circuit. Now if you bike is lean in the midrange, it will pull harder, because it will have the appropriate jetting. However, if is already at the appropriate stochiometric (sp? air/fuel) ratio, you will actually harm the performance as it will be too rich, and mostly likely exhibit a bog (hesitation). Jetting is trial and error, there is certainly no harm in trying it, but unless you have done some mods, it probably isn't necessary. Also, I've found people who are new to Banshee's (although usually just two-strokes in general) are have never owned one think they are hard to tune/own. I see Banshee guys kicking, pulling, cussing their bikes alot. But I can tell you that if you have your bike setup correctly, you'll never have a problem. It takes a bit of time to learn the in's and out's, but if you take the time to learn it well, it'll be easy. My bike starts and performs much more consistently than a friend with a Honda CR250 (hard to believe but true, even he would admit it). 458615[/snapback] Ditto Quote
