evro Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 Can any of you guys identify what brand(s) of reeds and cages these are? They are on my banshee and i just dont know enough of the different brands and their characteristics to make a decision. http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss171/evro_bucket/019.jpg http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss171/evro_bucket/020.jpg http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss171/evro_bucket/022.jpg one more question so i'll just use this same post. i also took off my spacers & gaskets and found this black shit on the intake ports. i tried to wipe it off but it wont come off with just a rag. is this black shit normal? http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss171/evro_bucket/023.jpg http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss171/evro_bucket/024.jpg i noticed that the there were two gaskets between the jugs and spacers, 1 gasket between the spacers and cages, and no gaskets between the cages and intake boot. I'm assuming that the cages and intakes should have a gasket while the jugs and spacers should only have 1 instead of two? Or is there a specific reason for having doubled up those gaskets? hopefully the links for the photos work. thanks guys Quote
AKheathen Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 those are stock cages with reeds that i don't recognize, and the black shit ts what's left of the paint in the ports. synthetic oils strip the paint Quote
swrbansheeboy Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 stock reed cages with carbon reeds, maybe boyesen? the black shit is normal, left over crap from the stock coating... Quote
mopar1rules Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 they are stock cages for sure and i'm 99% sure those are carbon techs. also, the black stuff in the intake is leftover paint, from when yamaha painted the cylinders. totally normal. dude, you need to fix your intakes up so they flow better....LOL. i can't stand looking @ those pics....LOL. makes me want to get out my foredom tools and fix it for ya....LOL.

Snopczynski Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 Your drunk, those are stock cages with carbon tech reeds. Quote

Just waiting on my arms now to do the full yfz450 front end swap with ltr shocks. I'd love to get a port job done but i've already overspent this year. Sled season this winter up here may end up being port season for the banshee but i'll probably wait one more year and do a complete rebuild then. Its a long cold winter.... the concensus seems to be carbon techs for the reeds. i'm waiting on my TORS eliminator, K&N pods, and timing plate (and other assorted goodies) form Jeff so i thought i'd get to know my setup a little better while shes down. thanks guys Quote
