Yea, completley stock. Thats not me driving it, but it did come up very easily. Thats me on the front.

 

If you want that low end on a Banshee find a 2 into 1 pipe and for even more low end find a 2 into 1 intake. Usually a 35mm carb goes on it for mad low end. I like the Toomeys and v-force but I like the fast ****.

Thanks for the info...I just bought FMF pipes and silencers off ebay, i wish i would have joined this message board earlier,but oh well...when i put my pipes on do i have to jet my carb, or could i just get a 35mm carb and leave it? Thanks

Jim

 

Merk,

I put FMF's on my Banshee...deffinatly feels different. The powerband feels almost the same (hits harder), but it basically just slides it up on the RPM's. I can't say that it has less low end really though.

As for the jetting, yes, you'll have to make some sort of an adjustment. FMF recommends running the pipes with no lid on your airbox and if you don't ride trails you'd be all set. If you do take your lid off you will be running really lean and you'll have to rejet. If you don't take your lid off you will probably be okay just adjusting your Needle jet.

When it comes to jetting it is best to have somebody experienced do it. Take it to a buddy or something after you get the pipes on.

Bravo - 5 people? that is excellent!


Time to do 6 I guess.

 

If you don't give that puppy more gas/oil mix you gonna burn the top of the piston. My suggestion would be jet it with a 280 jet and move the slide needle down 1 ring in both carbs. That should put you where you need to be. I would also put a k&n air filter with a turn and a half out on the air mix screw. My **** screams with that set up until I added v-force and cool head and even throw in a port job then that bitch needs wings cause you gonna fly bro. Laterz

 

1000cee cee do we even know 3 other people to try 5????

 

Josh, TricknR1

I really appreciate you guys tellin me this stuff, cause i just woulda put my pipes on burnt my pistons, so im assuming that jetting should be done roughly the same time as the pipes are put on with little or no ridding between, with that being said then these pipes wont be going on until i get some money, oh wait Santa's comming, yes! Thanks for the info guys, i love this message board

Jim

 

No problem man anytime. If ya got other questions about a banshee let me know atv_crazy88@yahoo.com I will be glad to help out. Laterz

 

I burned the valves out of my old raptor by jetting it to lean, didn't bump the pilot jets up & my main jets were to small. Doh! $2,000 later I had a big bore raptor w/ a giant cam, ported & polished head, 12:1 piston, new valves.

Wow was that fast.
next project is going to be a trinity racing banshee kit - 525 cc and 100 hp. thats what im sayin.
