blindrider_2001 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 I have a completely stock 2003 banshee that I just baught. I am buying a set of pro circuit pipes this weekend and I have no clue about all this jetting and stuff. I live in Ontario, Canada, so thats telling you guys the elevation(not too sure exactly what it is, maybe you guys will) The pipes are used so there not coming with anything extra(jets or anything). What should I buy to jet the bike? what size jet or main jet or what ever I need. I dont know if I need some sort of needle thing too or what? Any help would greatly be appreciated guys, I'm just not familiar with jetting at all. So if you could tell me what size jets to buy and anything else that I would need to make my bike run perfect with these pipes. Thanks a lot to everyone who replies! and sorry for asking all this stuff, but I dont want to take it to a dealer and have them explain the same stuff that you guys are, and probably charge me to put them on and crap.

Hilarious Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 First thing you need to buy is a pro flow air filter adapter with either a K&N or foam clamp on filter. I'd say get some main jets ranging 280 on up to maybe 320 or so. Get a box of spark plugs too. And check out this JETTING FAQ Everything you need to know is right there. Take your time and have fun with your new banshee. Quote

It is recommended that you use 280 mains if you are gonna use the PC pipes & silencers. This is assuming you use the stock air filter/box. You wouldn't beleive the difference pro circuit pipes/silencers and clamp on K&N air filtesr make, assuming your banshee is stock now. I went from stock pipes/filter to the PC pipes & K&N clamp ones, and it gave it an INSANE boost in power. When it was stock, it would only wheelie in 3rd gear. Now it wheelies in 4th gear, and has alot more power all around. Sounds 100x better too! If you wanna get the BEST air filters (along with a damn good power increase) then go with clamp on K&N filters (you will need to buy 2, and it will cost about $75-80 total). If you get the clamp on K&N's you need to remove your air box (easy to do). If you do this, I would start by using 330 mains and 30's for the slow jets. Also, if you take off the air box, you will wanna buy a special bracket/holder for your radiator reserve tank. They are only $15-20 and you can get em at www.rockymountainatv.com. Hope this helps.

blindrider_2001 Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Posted March 15, 2006 Thanks a lot guys, so Im going to buy the pipes this weekend probably, and then I will go on ebay and get some jets.....280 up to 320, like said above. I will also look for a pro flow air filter adapter with a K&N filter. I dont want to remove my air box because I do ride in some pretty deep water/ really muddy trails. Could someone please tell me if I'm going to need to change my "needle" to a different position, I hear a lot of people talking about that. I already have some spark plugs laying around for the banshee so I'm good to go there. If I do decide to remove my air box, I know I could buy the clamp on K&N(2 of them) and put them directly onto the carb, and then buy those "skins" that cover the K&N's from getting dirty. For you people that ride with that kind of filter(both K&N's on the carb) do you reccomend it if I am riding through muddy trails/ water?? Well thanks a lot guys,this site has really helped me out!

You may need to change the position later on to fine tune your bike after you get your mains and pilot circuits situated. Just read that Jetting Faq I posted above and It will steer you in the right direction in changing your needle positons and everything else. It was put together by a member here. Benbb I wouldnt recommend the K&N pod filters if you ride in a lot of water. I would keep the air box, but remove the lid after you install your flange adapter kit. Dont sweat it man, jetting is not hard to do, just tedious. Edited March 15, 2006 by Hilarious Quote
Guest nightmare Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 If you just add the pro circuits you should only have to change the main jet. Everything else should be alright. Quote
blindrider_2001 Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Posted March 15, 2006 well just adding the pro circuits will obviously give me a lot better power, but do you guys think I should just go ahead and get the adapter and K&N? I dont really have the nmoney rite now, but if it REALLY wakes the banshee up, I mine as well get the K&N also. Thanks. P.S That jetting link is AWESOME! that guy really knows what hes talking about.

blindrider_2001 Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Posted March 15, 2006 and to change the main jet, will I need to take the carbs off or can I do it without taking them off? Hopefully I can leave them on, as I've never taken them off before and dont really know how. Quote

blindrider_2001 Posted March 16, 2006 Author Report Posted March 16, 2006 ok sweet, thanks, when Im going to do it, I will ask for specific directions with pictures and stuff...so guys, be ready to get some pics of where the disconnect the carbs and stuff, lol, thanks a lot. Quote
milo_32000 Posted March 16, 2006 Report Posted March 16, 2006 This just happened to me , new top end, put on Pro Curcuit pipes, put in #270 jets, fired right up, then rode it and it fell on it`s ass, so I pulled the air box lid off and it rips, still has a litttle bog off idle, guess I will have to raise the needles to cure that, if anyone has some input on this please respond ! Would have tried #260 but didn`t have them ! Thanks, Milo_32000 Quote
