plugies

[350BANSHEE350]

after my break in today i pulled my plugs and they were black

i did th break in periods like you guys said

my bike is 07 stock i would think the jetting would be set off the factory

im pretty sure the factory put 24:1 in the tank i ran today so would that explain it?

that mix might make some heavy smoke. did you chop the threads on the plug or just look at the top? do a search on plug chops for info and pictures. is you bike still stock? whats you temp n elevation?

I'm sure at 24:1 its going to look pretty black. Was it smoking excessivly?

[350BANSHEE350]

still has the same tank of gas the dealer put in it so its like super new

we are going to be putting 32:1

i didnt do a plug chop i just looked at the top and it was pretty black

i was just wondering if it was supposed to be like this

my elevation is 4000ft at 15-25 degrees celcius

it was smoking quite abit but then again it was 24:1

so would 32:1 be less smoky and better for it?

 

thank for the help

 

i just wanted to know if the plugs go black after riding it awhile

I'd be pulling the jets.

If the bike is 100% bone stock, as in stock pipes, air filter, air box, etc....it's probably rich due to your elevation unless your dealer rejetted it. (sometimes they do, sometimes not.

I'd pull one main jet to see what is in there.

I'd say you're more than safe.

 

Mix up a tank at 32:1...if it's still black on the plugs, remove the snorkel to help it breath a tad and lean out the jetting a tad.

 

I bet that would just about set you up perfect!!!

When i bought my shee in January, the guy has been using 24:1 benoil premix oil i think it's called. Now im at 50:1 using amsoil dominator. I just made the switch to 50:1 though. I was running amsoil at 32:1 for over a month. It ran great w/o any problems. I wouldnt see a problem going to 32:1. When i got the bike and test rode it, it had two bad plugs. I thought that's all the power shee had...till i put two new plugs in it. Holy shit.....then i seen what the fuss about banshees were all about. I had the biggest grin on my face.

 

woops, went off topic there. My bad haha.

I would have stayed with the benoil, maybe not 24-1 mixture but definately the benoil....

Exactly! :thumbsup:

well the power feels strong all the way through he throttle through all the gears

so i hope its just the mix is heavy causing that

i never took out my jets before or took apart a carb before because im only 14 and dont want to screw up my new bike i worked so hard for

thanks for the help guys

Just get yourself a service manual, or download this one http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?...=service+manual

 

Follow all the steps to remove the bowls on the carbs and the main jet is easy to get to.
