K&N X-Stream power lid

[moneybags]

I would like to say high to all the people who make this sight so cool. this is my first banshee I have ever had and my first post. This is why I am hear tonight. I just got a

K&N X-Streem power lid for my shee. in case you are unsure of what that is, it is a lid that snaps in place of the stock lid and has a air filter built into it.It look's like it is going to bring alot more air

into the box. the new power lid came with a set of 340 and 350 main jets. the instructions said to use the 350 main jet and move the needil to the 5 poshion dose this sound right

 

This is my banashee

I just dont want to hurt my baby after paying a little over 8K and onley haveing 5 houres on it

Raise the main jet two sizes, and you'll be fine.

Leave the needle alone.

 

Once you get above 1500 feet, it'll probably run a little rich....but, that's fine.

theres no way that lid can require a 350 main using stock exhausts. something is wrong with the instructions. are you sure it doesnt say 250? even 250 would be high.

That is insanely high! I had my 02 jetted at 330 main, stock needle position, with no air box, and FMF SSTs. You want to be down in the area of like 240 to 230 if you still have stock pipes.

Just like I thought 350 main sounds veary rich. I already put them in last nite just to get a little more formiller with it . but I have not rider it yet. I will go and put some 240 in tonight. and yes the instructions said 350 main jet or use the 340 for elevation above 3000 feet. yesterday was the first time pulling uot my carbs on my shee. I might have found a trick to making those 2 screws easer to get out of the slider. unrap the spring around the cable and remove it first.

just thought I would through that in incase another newbee reads this form.

 

This is whai I am going to do

put in 240 main jet

put clip back to 3 poshion

and go riden

 

I will keep you guys posted to what is up with my shee

and if there is a part that will realy wake up my shee please let me know

 

Thanks

Good deal, I usually don't take out the springs when I do mine, and I never mess with the needles. I run a really mild setup, and I've only done jetting for airboxes and pipe changes. I might be wrong, but lately I have been finding, that just changing the main, and slides works really well, I havent had to change pilots from the 27.5s, but I don't have any porting or reeds. I would just screw with the slides and mains, it makes it much much easier.

Ok I just went riding and this is what I thought. It ripped pritty good for the most part it seamied like it may have been a little flat on top the rest seamied fine. I looked at the sparkplug when I got home and It looked just about the same as it did with stock jetting and the stock airbox lid

just a little tan in color.

 

I did notice however when I was ripping down between these wallnet trees the air was a little cooler and my shee ripped a lot better and smother then where I spent most of my time ridding

 

I was thinking of maby droping the main jet to a 235 how dose that sound. anyways I would like to make my shee run like it did in the cooler air that I hit. I think I will go and read the carb info on

the sight agine

 

I would like some ideas on wich pipes to buy when the time comes I just want them to sounde sweet maby add some torque and work good with the V-force reeds I plan to add. I was thinking maby some pro circuit pipes or some toomey t5. I just want a allaround pipe that sounds sweet

 

Thanks

They dont make a 235, (Mikuni mains come in incremets of 10) they do make a 230 which would probably be closer to what you need, your probably a bit rich now.
