Got a question

[bansheebrian06]

I just got my 06' banshee. I am breaking it in and i give it gas and it seems like it lugs and then picks up. Someone told me it may be the jets. Is this normal with break-in or do i have to rejet it? Thanks for the help.

what mix are you runin? try 32:1

[bansheebrian06]

The mechanic put gas in it when i got it, im pretty sure hes runnin it 20:1 Once this tank is gone im mixing it castor 927 at 32:1. Hopefully it will run better.

[daryn c]

what ever he put in your bike (yamalube 2r prolly) you should stick with that until you start porting and stuff then switch over..

Couple questions...

 

Are you riding it when you experience the lugging?

 

Is this your first banshee? Or 2-stroke for that matter?

 

If so... then thats how a 2-stoke works... no bottom end, then has insane power when you hit the powerband.

[bansheebrian06]

It actually dont really lug. sometimes when i get on it a lil more it just loses all power then it kicks in like 3 seconds later. I've riden alot of 2-strokes before and i know how the power is. I think its just cuz the ratio is so rich.

if its real rich you could be fouling your plugs

Kool.. just making sure.

 

Also... as backwards as it sounds.... more oil in the mix = lean... less oil = rich... However I would run it 32:1, the dealer had some 20:1 in there when I bought mine and it ran lke crap. 20:1 isnt going to hurt it, but it is not necessary.

[bansheebrian06]

Thanks alot guys, im gonna wait until this tank runs out and run the 32:1 and see how it is.

Take that POS snorkel off of the air box lid, and see if it runs any better.

Id wait untill you finish breaking in the motor before you start dicking with the jetting and oil mixture.

wait that doesnt make any sence not sayin your wrong but ive never heard that

[ogre03]

Yeah it does... More oil = less fuel per part of air, less fuel is lean. Less oil = more fuel per part of air so richer. Sounds weird I know.

I'd run the castor 927 at 40:1 and you dont want to mix the 927 and yamalube 2R so if you have very much fuel at all left in your tank drain it before putting in the 927 premix fuel in. If you keep using the 2R then mix it at 36:1. Your engine will start to run a lot smoother and cleaner by about 1/2 way through the second tank of fuel when your breaking it in. I'd throw in some new plugs too. Dont take off the airbox snorkel untill you are ready to start modding/jetting. If you take the snorkel off you will need to up the main by a couple sizes. You also need to look into getting an air box addaptor and clamp on filter in the future. You can not take the air box lid off without one.

Thanks alot guys, im goin to put the new tank full in today. Im gonna drain the little bit of gas out and put new spark plugs in and see what happens. I'll make sure to tell you's wuts goin on.
