axlracing Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 hey i just picked up a 1997 banshee and i can see the jetting is not right so what i want to do is start rejetting but i do not want to keep pulling this air box off and on. I would like to put a set of like twin air or uni clamp on filters right on the carb and elimanate the air box but when you stand at the back of the bike and look at the carbs they seem to be shifted to the left a little bit so i wonder if it is possible to have clamp on filters or not it looks like the left side of the frame might be in the way any suggestions would be great thanks AXL Quote
BellicoseBanshee Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 Clamp on filters will work, as long as you choose the correct size for the carburetor application. :thumbsup: I prefer K&N filters w/outerwears. Quote
jharader Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 Not sure what your asking really but does it have tors? maybe the cap on the carb is loose and the tors are shifted on top on the carb making them appear offset? i just got done rejetting one with tors and an airbox, told my buddy to take it elsewhere next time, what a pain in the ass!!!!

The carbs are offset slightly to the left side of the motor when looking at them from the back off the bike. How can i tell what size carbs i have i dont know if they are stock or not? Quote
BellicoseBanshee Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 The whole engine sits left of center in the frame... EDIT: if you have an airbox, chances are you have stock carbs. Many places sell the 'banshee' pod kit: two filters, two outerwears, and a water bottle relocator bracket (if you choose to still use one). Quote
jharader Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 take a pair of calipers and measure the inner diameter of the intake side of carb, sounds to me like the carbs are not seated all the way in the intake boots man.. stock carb is 26mm Quote
jharader Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 Offset yes but enough to visually notice? maybe dunno i never seen a drastic difference between both sides, loosen the intake clamp and make sure the carb is pushed all the way in though first before you start rejetting stuff or burn something up Quote

black sunshine Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 Should be able to re-jet without removing the carbs. Loosen the clamps and remove the tops and slides, then just twist them in the boots and remove the bowls. Tada! Quote
jharader Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 hmm, strange. what year bike is yours? maybe my shits tweaked or something lol eitherway a clamp on is a good add on and will save you boatloads of time rejetting something and a few oz's to boot :cool: ima go measure my shit now hahaha i believe ya and now im curious......

axlracing Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Posted April 15, 2008 It is enough for me to notice... yeah its not much very little bit to the left. i have a polaris predator with a clamp on filter maybe that filter is just a lot bigger than the ones that will go an my banshee looks like if the clamp on filter was to big it would be hitting on the little piece that sticks out for holding the air box in place . Maybe i will just cut them tabs for the air box off thanks alot AXL Quote

bansh03 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Posted April 16, 2008 ^^^^ You need the 1 3/4 inch ones for stock carbs, that's what I run. Quote
F.BEJARANO Posted April 16, 2008 Report Posted April 16, 2008 Go to rockymountainatv.com and get the K&N pods there. Its the cheapest place. Quote
