not running in sixth gear

[bastinm]

I have an 01 banshee i have a k&n filter with no air box, t-5 pipes, and I have rejetted it with 280's. its seems like i should have a lil more bottom end through all the gears but the worst is sixth I can have it pinned in fifth and as soon as I hit sithc it falls on its face. thinkin about putting some 270's in but not sure where to start. I am running amzoil at 80:1 any help would b great!

bump up the jets and see if it gets better. Or richen the needles. It sounds to me like its lean.

[sredish]

try some 300's. it's leaning out from the extra load of 6th gear.

when i was running close to the same setup on stock carbs, near sea level i ran 310 mains and was a tad rich... your running pretty lean with 280's

 

while you have your carbs open see what pilot and needle you have in there... also what notch the needle is on

Whats this dudes elevation? That might be okay with 280 @ 7000 ft. :shrug:

Not if he is running amsoil at 80:1

[bastinm]

i am at sea level pretty much 500 at most.

[Snopczynski]

whats the deal with the 80:1 amsoil? Thats way lean for any normal oil that I know about.

[Bansh-eman]

isnt amsoil a full synthetic? they claim that you can run it out to 100:1 or something rediculose like that... ill just stick with what i got

 

edit: actually i just looked it up and they say 50:1 so not all that crazy i guess..

they say you can run 100:1. I actually know a few ppl that have ran it like that for years and never had a problem. I know it sounds a lil sketchy but true

[Bansh-eman]

which one you running? i jut looked at thier site and the 2 common ones are listed as 50:1 premix or injected

[bonbon]

If I remember they recommend AMSOil Interceptor at 50:1 and AMSOil Dominator at 100:1. I usually run the Interceptor at 40:1. And they're both fully synthetic.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong on that, it's just off the top of my head.

I am running the saber pro. due to the the fact its hard to find and i can seem to locate the dominator all the time. the saber seems to smoke a lil if i run it 50:1.

[shee4speed]

Smoke is okay man!
