RACxEMxWILLIE Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 I have a question for all you Banshee experts: I recently purchased a 03 Banshee that had the stock 26mm twin mikuni carbs replaced with a single Keihin Stage V carburetor. My question is, did that come with the reed valves or would i have to put them on myself. Also, could someone recommend a set of reed valves. The quad has not been bored or stroked or any other motor mod done. Would the reeds be worth it or no? Second question: Should I take this single carb off and go back to the twin mikunis or leave it on? Another one I rode with the twins felt like it had more top end than this one? Ive heard having a single carb would rob you of top end to give you more on the bottom end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmdesertbansheeryder Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 my buddy has a single carb set up on his shee....and has pretty much same mods as me ,and his bike is definitly slower in a race.i would put the twin carbs on and get you some v-force 2 or 3 reed valves.also does your bike have the tors and stock airbox ?

Yeah i wanted to rip it off. But i need to find the twins first. The quad still has the tors i think and the stock air box with the 2-1 conversion kit.
