Just got my first banshee

[98 shee devil]

also seeing that i now am going to be running a single carb i cant use the boost bottle anymore right....also whats that thing do?

[350BANSHEE350]

the boost bottle is a hooker

does nothing good and is a waste of time and money

its "suposed" to help throttle responce and such but doesnt

with the single carb kit you dont run it anymore its only for dual

[98 shee devil]

yea i thought it was just for looks i read an artical about it after searching for a while and they tryed to make it sound good but it didnt really make sence and there where no dyno runs to back it up so....

 

anyway, i cant seem to get the gas tank out i took the 2 bolts out that are like right above the carbs but i just cant seem to wigle it out? i feel like a re re.

 

thank for the help

[98 shee devil]

okay i got it but it was a bitch unless i campare it to gettin the 2 carbs out.... anyway ill get some pics up tommarow of what it looks like ...

 

what is in the place of the boost bottle befor you add it as an extra? just wondering?

 

so in a few days ill have the 2 to 1 carb kit thanks to trinity racing then im gunna brink the shee devil to yamaha to get a tune up after that im not shore what part to get but i've heard a lot about timing plates ??? how do these wor and with my setup would it be benifical?

 

either way what should my new upgrade be ... already go the FMF exhaust, air filter, 2 to 1 carb.... what next help me out my fellow banshee boys! im gunna be riding mostly trails and in sand and gravel pits!

your tank should have came out pretty easy, you may have a bent steering loop? as far as the 2 into 1 your going to love it. what size carb did you get with it?

cant help you with the boost bottle question because ive never had one.

yes the timing plate it worth the small price tag. set it at +4 and you will be looking good. dont forget to get the flywheel puller with it. i think its like 15 bucks and you may also want to get some new hardware for your stator cover. the stock screws can be a pain in th but.

[98 shee devil]

yea i cant wait for the carb i got the 35mm because they said its much better.

 

deff. going to get a timing plate some reeds and i wanna get a new head but im not sure yet. because there pretty expensive and not really needed.

 

pics will be up much later tonight when i go out to the shed and turn some wrenches.

 

does any one no how many quarts of oil it take because i filled it with 1.5 and it looks good but some one told me it take 2.5?

[98 shee devil]

welp i ended up getting the trinity racing ignition box with the Trinity racing setup already in it. the guys there are so easy to work with and said the box is much better then the plate because its easyer to install and adjustable at the flip of a switch.

 

also got some v force 3's and reed spacers, and my 2 to 1 carb kit that should be here on dec. 10th ... everyone wish me luck thats my court date!! and i hope all goes well because if i goto jail then i will never get my parts :'( and i love my shee devil

 

but i still need help on the oil thing..how man quarts should it take?

It takes 1.5L of oil. 2.5L is the amount of coolant i believe

Trinity and their single carb kits... They really do love to push that setup. Quite pricy too.

 

Single carb kits are good for Lowend, but will take away from your top speed performance. That said, on a pretty much stock banshee it may work great since the carb your changing to is much larger anyways. However you should realize that trinity took advantage of you. They are pushing a product to give you more "lowend" but that does not have to do with your problem of the bike not reving up. Sure a new carb might fix the problem but you will have to jet it just like the carbs you have on the bike now that you seem to be having a problem with.

 

1) You should have done your homework before purchasing a single carb setup (Calling trinity is hardly doing homework ). If you can't get the stock carbs to work good luck with the single, less people run them so jetting advice may be more scarce, other than that my buddy got the same setup from trinity and had nothing but problem with the lectron carb, however others sear by them.

2) Were you by chance starting the bike and trying to rev it up with the parking brake engauged? (this will prevent the bike from reving up and it will fall on it's face)

3) Did you purchase a blockoff plate for the parking brake? (one favorite mod is to get rid of the flimsy POS stock loose clutch lever and ditch the parking brake - long story but it does cause this issues sometimes even when it is not engauged. Basicaly if you loaded the bike, used the parking brake, unloaded it, unlatched the parking brake, it might still fall on its face, playing with the parking brake lever a bunch may solve the problem you are having).

4) Disconnect the tors? (Tors system will cause the same symptoms as the parking brake in $3, the whole system is connected, I have never had a problem with the rest of the TORS system but I have had a problem with the praking brake. The TORS box is the little electronics box on the front left hand side up under the bike)

 

Switching to the single carb will eliminate this TORS system (good thing) However you can simply unplug the stock carbs from it and ditch the parking brake and acomplish the same thing)

 

You should Disconnect the TORS system when you go to a single carb and get rid off all the excess crap (like the wires coming out of the throttle and the extra electrical crap.

 

I'm assuming you have fresh sparkplugs in there?

 

It's hard to say what is wrong without seeing the bike, but just thought I would list some easy stuff first.

 

Finaly Jetting sea level should be something like a 28-32 main jet (Start rich) with needle on second clip (I think it was second clip from the top but it has been a while) jet and you can probably get by with the stock pilot or go to the next size up. You need to learn how to adjust idle and air screws to help with your idleing however if it idles for a few minutes but will eventualy shut off without using the choke it sound about right! It would be a good idea to remove the bottom of the carb and remove the main jet to see what you have in there, same for pilot (AND POST THEM HERE). Might as well clean them out while you are at it. A plugged pilot jet will prevent the bike from idleing or cause problems. (poke it out with a twisty tie)

 

A clymers manual would have been a better purchase for you than the single carb IMO.

 

Welcome to the HQ, but beware of the BS...

I have never heard of the trinity adjustable ignition. Are you talking about the Dyna Ignition to replace the stock CDI? Honestly I would not just toss everything on at once, one thing at a time. They have you replacing ALOT of stuff...I guess I would rather have a Dyna Ignition than a timing plate, however you can get a timing plate for damn cheap compared to the Dyna Ignition system, I mean your talking about $35 vs $250 http://www.rickystator.com/catalog/product...products_id=131 The billet ones are a rip IMO (you don't see it anyways)

trinity didnt push the carb on to me the only part they chose about that was weather i should get a 33mm or 35 and the guy said the 35mm is better so i trust him on that....

 

and the carb is going to be jetted by a Yamaha dealership so i won't have to worry much about that and if that fails my friend put one on his banshee not to long ago so he should be able to help.

 

i just dont like the fact of two carbs i mean the one is going to be hard enough to jet, and everything else and the TORS system is going to be gone when i run one carb. those are the electrical plugs that goto each of the carbs right? so i can unplug them from the carbs and follow the wire to where it goes and unplug it from there and it will be fine?

 

what trinity pushed on me was the Dyna CDI beecause i was adding stuff to my cart over the fone and i said a timing plate and asked how hard is it to put in and adjust and all that. the guy said well we have a dyna cdi if you want its much easyer to work with and can be adjusted on the flip of a switch... so to me that sounded much easyer to plug in and bolt up then advance the timing by using something that seem easyer then my TV remote.... or take the side cover off then pull the fly wheel and all that shit and im pretty sure its harder to adjust the plate not positive tho.

 

the CDI is made by dyna but the guy said i can get it like that or for an extra 60 bucks programed with the Trinity Racing setup or something like that so i said fuck it spent how ever much what 60 more bucks...

 

about putting in all on at once do you think i should put the carb on and the reeds with the reed spacers and ride it for a gas tank or 2 then put in the CDI... or how would you go about it?

 

thanks for all the info man and i most likely would have put it all on at once so good thing you held me back

 

hey i just relized ima have like 2 christmas's the first all my part coming in next week then the real christmas ... then my birthday !!!!
