hercalmighty Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 Has anyone every tried using other carbs other then Keihin PJ or PWK's on their banshee? I was mostly wondering about either Keihin PWM's or Mikuni TMX's. I have found a bunch of these carbs and was trying to see if anyone has tried them on the banshee or if they have heard anyone using them. Quote
hercalmighty Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Posted August 3, 2009 Bump. No one has every screwed around with different carbs? I know guys are using the Lectrons so how bout some of these other carbs? Quote
Building my First Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 Im not sure about the other Keihin you mentioned. I know there is several people on here that have Mikuni TM's on their machine. Quote
shanYE west Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 I've used TMX's with good results. but I like the PWK's as them seem to be easier for me to tune. Quote
hercalmighty Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Posted August 3, 2009 I have a TMX on my 125 and it seems easy to tune. The Keihin PWM is shorter over all length for more topend from what I have read. Fouled, what was the tuning difference between the TMX and the PWK? Just looking for some input. Thanks Quote
MikeNick Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 Several people on here, one I can think of off my head is Savage, use OKO 30mm carbs. They're a rebadged Keihn basically and helluva alot cheaper. carbpartswarehouse.com is there sit I believe or check them out on ebay. Search Banshee carbs Quote
hercalmighty Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Posted August 3, 2009 I have PWk 28mm now so not looking that way. Just looking for maybe something different. I really want some PWK Airstrikers but I cant find them for a good price. So Im just looking for some thoughts on other carbs Quote
Building my First Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 Do the airstrikers give any more performance than standard PWK's? I thought they had 4 vents instead of 2, so they are better for big jumps and whoops. Quote

Thanks Only reason they were easier for me to tune is that I'm very familiar with them and the sizeing of the jets. I have a better idea of a initial jetting. Quote
hercalmighty Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Posted August 4, 2009 Yeah the Airstrikers are a little more responsive. The big thing with them is like you said they have a better recovery from jumps and whoops. If you look at the filter side of the carb they have little fins that help direct air for the low end. Fouled, did you notice any more response or better feel out of the TMX's? just thinking of ttrying some different things. Quote
