Banshee Experts: Reed valves?

[RACxEMxWILLIE]

I have a question for all you Banshee experts: I recently purchased a 03 Banshee that had the stock 26mm twin mikuni carbs replaced with a single Keihin Stage V carburetor. My question is, did that come with the reed valves or would i have to put them on myself. Also, could someone recommend a set of reed valves. The quad has not been bored or stroked or any other motor mod done. Would the reeds be worth it or no?

 

Second question: Should I take this single carb off and go back to the twin mikunis or leave it on? Another one I rode with the twins felt like it had more top end than this one? Ive heard having a single carb would rob you of top end to give you more on the bottom end.

i cant really coment on the reed valve but as far as the 2-1 carb goes id personally rip it off and go back with the twin carb set up!! i have never seen a hard running shee with a 2-1 carb! some people swear by the 2-1 but i have yet to become a believer!!

my buddy has a single carb set up on his shee....and has pretty much same mods as me ,and his bike is definitly slower in a race.i would put the twin carbs on and get you some v-force 2 or 3 reed valves.also does your bike have the tors and stock airbox ?

Yeah i wanted to rip it off. But i need to find the twins first. The quad still has the tors i think and the stock air box with the 2-1 conversion kit.
