Delta 3

[tats4life]

tats4life were the delta3's tested with the sst's and k&n, and if so did you test the delta2's with the sst's and k&n?

thanks.

I've done that set up more times than I can count. I work at my local yamaha dealer. On average we sell around 5-7 shee's a week. I want to try the 3's on a set of mid pipes like my PT's just to see how it happens. IMO I think they don't allow the motor to rev out as much. The motor had stock ports, with 28 pwks.

We have a sled dyno at my buddies shop and we tested the twos and the threes on the same sled with pipes and the twos did actually make a little more power and allowed the revs to come up quicker. I think that the threes are a sales ploy but I definitely love my twos. the throttle response is awsome and I have never had a problem they have been in my motor ever since it was new.

The delta 3's are not adjustable from what I've read. I think the delta 2's have a low and a high. Tats4life, I'm guessing the 3's are more like the low setting on the 2's. Just a guess from what you said the outcome was. They probably have less tension on them.

Delta reeds for the banshee eaither 1 2 or 3, isn't adjustable..There isn't enough room left over with that big cage crammed in the cylinder to fit a reed tensioner.

My 2's never gave me problems. I think def. something else is wrong with your shee man - JT

I have Deltas and all you do is flip the mount that holds the reed on. On way creates high tension and the other way is closer to the frame so it creates low tension. The brackets are even labled high and low.

[JTQuad]

So which way is for what kind of riding. Please elaborate on this for me - JT

[fixitrod]

I believe less tension yields more response and less top end. Just the opposite for higher tension. Less flutter at high rpms with more tension.

I was going to try that Rod. I talked to my builder about it and he said NOT to do it...He said v-force told him to only run them on high tension....He didn't know the reasoning, but thats what they told him.....Said it was a banshee thing...

Does anyone know if they are going to continue selling the Delta 2's?

I have an '01 with FMF SST's and a K&N and stock reeds. Do you guys think aftermarket reeds would be a good improvement? I would be interested in flow bench test data on the Delta's, G3's, and modded stock. I don't trust the data from the G#'s site.

 

If I go modded stock, does anyone have recommendations on what reeds to use. I ride mostly MX and some trails.

[MotulMonsta]

Hmmm..I need to take another look at my reeds..Learn somthing new everyday.

i was reading a post one time about flow testing reedcages that the stock moded ones can flow the most but that dousn't make them the better reed cage can't rember why though just thought i would share

[Nightrider]

Setting the reed tension on the low setting will greatly reduce reed life.I got about 25 hours on a set of deltas on high tension(basically a whole season for me)vs about 10 hours on the low setting.

 

I found that carbon fiber reeds have absolutely no advantage over regular fiberglass type reeds.They don't seem to last any longer than conventional reeds and seem to run worse when there worn out

 

Aside from that the V-force cage design works well.It really helps the shee on the low-end.I wouldn't run any other reed cage in any of my machines.The low and mid gains are seat of the pants noticeable.I just wish the replacements were cheaper.

[Banchetta]

I have to agree w/ nightrider...I put the v-force on my stroker...It was night and day......The largest difference was throttel response...1/8 throttle felt like full throttle...Not sure if I liked that, but it made huge gains across the whole curve..I'll be trying some pyramids on the dyno shortly next week....Note: the stock cages are ported w/ Boysen dual petals...
