mikey351 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Posted August 17, 2008 I have a stock Banshee with KN's and jetting. I am looking at getting some T5 and want to know what reeds to get. Are there any performance difference for my setup with either using. Boyesen Pro Series Reeds $89 Boyesen Super Stock Carbon Reeds $53 Are there any other reeds that you would recommend. As I am in Australia I would prefer to order through the internet. Also would those reeds still be good if I were to do some porting later on. Quote
ex400 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Posted August 17, 2008 you dont really need new reeds unless you mod it more but that could just me me save the money and my something else Quote
quikshee Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 If you want to save some money and not drop some serious dough on VF3's or rad valves, do like I did and buy the reeds and port your own stock cages. Cheap and easy power!! I noticed the power and response gain immediately If i'm correct all reeds will work with any style pipes, some have their preferences but it's different strokes for different folks Quote
banshee21 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 i would highly recommend SRP ram intakes from www.magicracing.com they come with boyesen dual stage reeds. and you get everything for around $160 or so can really remember but they are well worth it. Quote
RadarRacing Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 I like ported cages and even know guys stil running stock cages in big cubs etc. If interested I have a set of ported cages with carbon tech carbon reeds in them that were on a bike for 1 ride. I'd sell them for less than a set of reeds would cost you. Radar Quote
jayzx10r Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 I use the Boyesen Power Reeds. They retail at $32.00 per and are a long lasting 2-stage fiberglass reed. Carbon reeds wear out a lot faster in a standard style reed cage. You can find them on eBay for $25.00 each. This guy ships worldwide and he sells them (2 sets) for $52.00 + shipping. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/YAMAHA-BANS...1QQcmdZViewItem I run this series of reeds in my Banshee, YZ, and Blaster and used them in my RM's, KX's, RD's and RZ(s) as well. You want item #645 if you decide to look for them locally. I've heard a lot of people say the V-Force 3's are the only way to go for the best performance, but I believe the gains to be minimal at best when compared to the post Boyesen upgrade. Quote
shanYE west Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 I really like the boyessen pro series (dual stage) reeds.. Had them for years and loved them!. Took them out of my mildly built shee and put in some VF2's and I couldn't really tell. Quote
Snopczynski Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 (edited) I run special order carbon tech mid reeds on stock cages. Edited August 23, 2008 by Snopczynski Quote
