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.

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?

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

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

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.

haha. yeah i certainly wont argue with ya after seeing some of the port jobs you guys have going on....smooth as glass. since i bought it in december i've put 1500 into her including new tires, trail tech, and some parts from FAST. 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
