Nighty Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 320-330 mains 4th or 5th(last) clip on your needle from the sharp end. maybe some 27,5 pilots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003LimitedBanshee Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 320-330 mains4th or 5th(last) clip on your needle from the sharp end. maybe some 27,5 pilots 522098[/snapback] Too big unless you are running an open element (no airbox) K&N. If you're a Pro Flow and no lid w/K&N you'll probably be around 300 (25-30 C is about 75-80??), maybe 310. My guess would be stock pilot at around .75-1.25 turns out on the airscrew.

TSinclair Posted May 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 so which would be the best clip position to start with. and should I leave the pilots stock till i run the bike and plug chop. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 I agree with limited... If you leave the airbox on...stock pilots are just fine. If you remove the airbox...you MIGHT have to up the pilots one size. Stock (middle) clip on the needles. If you have the $$...get the Toomey needles. They eliminiate the lean spot in the middle of the needle. Going from stock pipes to Toomeys is a great, great mod. I'd suggest in the future getting the timing plate and lightened flywheel as well. The smooth some of the hit of those pipes...and make it a little easier to ride and keep on the pipe. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSinclair Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 hey thats not my next mod the timing plate. at plus 4 is it okay on 94 octane and also is there any jetting change by advancing the timing. thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronicwatson Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 hey i live in sutton ontario by lake simcoe we should go riding at ragland some time its pretty fun there and the sand hills are nice well any way good luck on the jetting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It normally doesn't require a jetting change. There is only one positive way to tell, check your plugs. When I put mine on last year...it did not require one.

g-rider Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 When my banshee had just K&N and T5's I ran 280 mains and 27.5 pilots with needle clip in the middle and ran really good at 900-1100 ft. elevation. I tried 300-320 and they were all too rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Yep...seems 270 to 290 is the sweet spot with the airbox, 320 to 340 without an air box... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSinclair Posted June 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Yep...seems 270 to 290 is the sweet spot with the airbox, 320 to 340 without an air box... the corrected alttitude toaday was almost 1300 ft. should the jetting change or go with what has been said and check the plugs. thanks Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RILS Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 the corrected alttitude toaday was almost 1300 ft. should the jetting change or go with what has been said and check the plugs. thanks Tim With the box I would start at 300main 4thclip on needle 27.5pilots airscrew 1.5 out and cheak the plugs should be close but cheak the plugs and go from there.

TSinclair Posted June 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 installed timing plate yesterday. was very simple. some decent results from that. still waiting for my pipes in the mail. thanks for all the help guys. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Madd Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 My basically stock Banshee w/T5s, k&N, no lid at 300 ft elev, 90 degrees F runs a stock pilot and 370 mains, needle in middle. Plugs were a little too white @WOT with 350s, so I jumped up to 370s. Every one is different, but I've always had to run pretty big jets w/T5s. On my motor, I'd be scared to death to go below 330, even at 90 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003LimitedBanshee Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 J-Madd, You must have a MASSIVE air leak somewhere. I completely agree that all bikes are somewhat different, I've seen identical bikes (to the last detail I mean) run two sizes different mains. Mine happened to pull the bigger main at 340's, but I can't imagine anyway you would be too white at 350. :baseball_bat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
