Sampo Posted June 16, 2007 Report Posted June 16, 2007 Hi guys, I'm new here, live in the UK and have just bought my first Banshee... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...bayphotohosting It was an amazing price for that bike in the UK (Thats the going price for a used stock 04 Blaster) Anyway, I have collected it and it seems in great condition, engine starts first or second kick and everything is smooth. I need some advice on jetting though. The guy i bought it off was running a 25:1 premix ratio, which is very rich I believe? I wanna run more like a 32:1 or 40:1 with a good oil, what would you recommend? Amsoil Dominator is a name I've seen around a lot. Also, although it has FMF fatty gold series pipes on it (not sure which silencers), it has a stock air filter, and I think it would be a good idea to replace it with a K&N setup. Anyway, what I'd like to know is: Which K&N setup would you advise? It'll be used for trails, blasting open fields, etc. Does anybody recognise the silencers? What jetting should I run with the setup as it is, except with K&N, 32:1 or 40:1 premix at an altitude of ~300m? Also, can anybody tell me from the pics what make a-arms those are? Cheers for any help people, Chris Quote

Cheers for any help people, Chris 25:1 is lean on fuel,.... 32-40:1 is richer in fuel less oil. amsoil, maxima, klotz, are prob the most popular. Id say leave the jetting. To check it do a search on plug chops and see what its like after you change oil and ratio. If your staying dry,. pods are better, but trails that can be wet, and open lid box might be better. With a k&n you might need to bump the main jetting up a couple sizes. Quote
Sampo Posted June 17, 2007 Author Report Posted June 17, 2007 Cheers man, When I said rich, I meant rich on oil - so lean on fuel. I guess I'll try it and see how she runs...? Quote
Sampo Posted June 17, 2007 Author Report Posted June 17, 2007 Sorry, maybe i should have said, it was rejetted to suit the pipes (and i guess 25:1 mix) before I got it - I'm told that the shop that fitted the pipes and did the jetting recommended the 25:1 mix... Quote
jmd0346 Posted June 17, 2007 Report Posted June 17, 2007 I would run it 32:1. Thats 4 gallons to one bottle of premix. Jet the bike according to that mix. Quote
