ThreeFitty Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 ...And man do they look sweet! Had to get creative with the right side pipe hanger and I had to make up some mounts to drop the silencers because the hole on the mounting tab and the one by the grab bar didn't line up as the silencer body would be pushed up against the grab bar. I don't know exactly what the problem is. These are supposed to be some of the best fitting pipes out there. The only mount that matched right up was the left side pipe hanger. I also have the tabs on the INSIDE of the hanger, not the outside. I found that the flanges mate up square and I get better frame clearance all around. So I went out for a quick boot and she's pretty lean. When I was out grabbing jets, I went for 30 pilots and 320 mains. Stock needle, 4 position. Two things are very wrong. When I was at Royal I decide to get spendy and buy some of those K&N's that everyone is recommending. This throws a big wrench in things as I was originally gonna run the airbox. Problem #2 is that when I asked for mains he handed me the SNOWMOBILE style ones. I build/setup/maintain sleds in the winter so naturally I didn't think twice about taking them until I got home and opened up the carbs. So I left the 25's in and went for a tear. Onto my questions: I guess I should probably grab some 340-350 mains? Should I go with 30 pilots? Stock everything except for T5's and K&N filters att sea level. P.S. I grabbed a 15 small sprocket, hopefully it will dumb it down some when I get the jetting dialed in as well as make the gears a little longer. Quote

dajogejr Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 What's your elevation? What temps are you riding in? 30 pilots are fat, way fat...period. If you mean K&N Clamp Ons...330 to 350 should be about right, depending on your elevation and temps. Run mine w/ 27.5 pilot, about 2.25 turn out, and 330 mains. I just pulled my whole motor apart, and my top end looked excellent.... Quote

I do have the K&N clamp on style filters. When I go to Royal this morning I will get 330/340/350 and go from there. I don't think that I will be able to find a Yamaha dealer open today to get the 27.5 pilot. Do you think that I may just be able to richen up the pilot air screw and get away with it or is it probably wiser to just get the 27.5? I'd like to ride today but if it means I'm gonna be doing the top end this afternoon, I can wait... Quote
dajogejr Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 Pilot won't cause you to blow up....it just won't run well off the bottom, and possible won't idle well. I'd put the stock pilots back in, turn out the air srews .5 turns...and see how it runs. You hit the nail on the head....you'll be in the 330 to 350 range.... Buy a few plugs, and take a look at 'em...they tell no lies! Quote

I just left the screws where they were. I knew I should have richened it up. Gonna go get some bigger mains now It sickens me to think that the Banshee is going to require the same mains as my ZR500/700 swap with twin D&D's and open 44mm carbs... It runs 350's and the plugs couldn't look better. Pulls like a freight train. almost as good as my TCAT radar run sled Quote
dajogejr Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 Sounds like you're on the right track. You'll end up with .25 to 1 turn out on the screws. Remember, adjust them once it's warmed up...and allow about 20 seconds once you turn 'em for the setting to take effect before you ride off... Quote
Dinner Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 Royal sells pilots do they not or just for Mikuni Sled Carbs? Quote
ThreeFitty Posted April 9, 2006 Author Report Posted April 9, 2006 Royal sells pilots do they not or just for Mikuni Sled Carbs? 499706[/snapback] Just for sled applications or any carb using standard pilot jets. Banshee carbs have specific pilots. They almost look like little threaded pills. They are smaller in diameter and are shorter than regular pilots. I hate that place, spent thousands there Speaking of which I just ordered a set of DG alloys in red and some new Progressive front shocks Quote
ThreeFitty Posted April 11, 2006 Author Report Posted April 11, 2006 Started off with 350's wouldn't rev out on top. Went down to 340's and it's getting better. I just picked up a set of 330's. Goin' out to the shop right now... Quote
