I just had the LA Sleeve 409 big bore kit installed on the banshee.The quad runs fine, its just slow. Its alot slower than when it was stock. It doesn't smoke, stutter, blue my pipes, or anything like that. I contacted LA Sleeve and they told me I needed to install a 35mm 2-into-1 carb kit. Would the bigger carbs make that big of a difference. Would changing my Jetting help or will the stock carbs just not flow enough no matter what the jetting is set at? I have 2 carbs off of a 750 cc 2 stroke water buffalo street bike that I was told would work with very minor modifications. Anyone know anything about those carbs? Any ideas???!!?

Last season my 2000 banshee just died on me during a ride. The thing would not fire for anything. I checked my compression and had nothing on the left cylinder. I take it in to my local shop to see about rings and possibly boring it, whatever it needs to get going again. They call me back later that week and tell me I have $900 worth of damage because my rod and piston separated within my cylinder and tore my sleeve to shreds. Is this a common problem in Banshees? I decided since i have to re-sleeve it, it only makes sense to go with a big bore kit. I ordered a 409 kit off of this shop that sells stuff on Ebay. I take my machine back to the shop with my kit and now they are telling me that the outside diameter of the sleeve is too big to fit into my cylinder. Is this right, or does the shop not know what they are doing? Can they bore my cylinder out to make the bigger sleeves fit? I dont see how the place I ordered my kit from could have sent another two-stroke, twin cylinder big bore kit. The banshee is the only one around. If the kit can be put in my quad, what else do I need to do to my banshee? Do I need to re-jet again? Will I eventually need bigger carbs? Most importantly, how fast am I going to go? I already have pipes, jets, reed valves, and a K&N filter.
