Banshee vs rd?

[jcormode]

Alright everyone I'm a newbie on ere so go easy with. I bought a banshee that was a none runner and found all sorts wrong with it to date but its running now (ish) what I need to know is does the rd stator, mag, loom etc work with banshee and do the carb work the same without any major jetting ect.

Reason being is that I have a race ignition with no lights on it which I want and my carb sliders have worn and are sticking. Don't have that much more cash to throw at it and I've found some rd350 bits cheap.

Hopefully you guys can help thanks

Thank god I didn't buy them. Cheers mate. Do you recomend any aftermarket carbs for stock jugs and toomey t5 pipes?

For a smaller motors the 28mm keihin PWK's are nice. Steer clear of those OKO knock offs. If you aren't to worried about keeping snappy low end and really want it to pull, there are sets of 34mm PJ's every where for way cheap

I'm getting confused now, I have been told that 34 mm pj's will be too big for my stock engine??????

[camatv]

i have ran 39's on stockers....

 

i like the oem carbs or 28/30pwk's over the 34 pj/./.   but thats just me..

 

i believe the rd's were also points?  some of them at least..

This is from the same bloke, he says its the same as this one, but unsure regards banshee he knows the rd fits the rz, which doesn't help much I'm going to try and measure the spindle today and see if it matches but like speedy says it probly won't fit no harm in double checking, with carbs I would like to go bigger but definetly don't think ill go with 39 I've got some carbs off my Tri z's but I think those are too big

[trickedcarbine]

The 34's are a little big. But that was why I mentioned that it would come at the sacrifice of a little low end, but then the thing would really pull through mid to top. Not to mention that they would really compliment about any build but a drag set up. I only mentioned them for you because they are every where for really cheap. The 28mm PWK's would probably be the hot ticket for that bike though. I just can't seem to find them much cheaper.

i took off a set of 34's adn installed 35pwk's  the low end came up nicely  and were much easier to tune

[jcormode]

Yea I think I'm gona hold out for some pwk's like you've said something around 28mm I've blown all my cash on prezzies so ill be Saving up no matter anyway now. I've contacted electrex and they sell a lighting mag for £250 so if nothing comes up at least there's that and I can sell the race one. Cheers everyone, new this was best place to come.

OKOs are fine

I don't run them on my banshee but on another machine. cheap, replacement parts & jets available. no problem. Powerjet is cool with me too.

[KozyHeat]

they are chinese knockoffs but the taiwan version is legit, chinese version has bad components. shiny top cap.

i never had a problem with pj's.

Pj's are a little harder to tune.  Now im sure there are people with pj's out there who can tune them just fine. But i find the idle circuit being on the choke a pain in the bum.

yea that true burt. it was alot easier once i got used to how the idle circuit reacts to jetting. i got pwks on my other bike and yes there easier.

I've never had a problem with Taiwanese gear either, never had a carb from them but pistons, bearings have gone a long way so mabe your on to something there kozy, ill keep it in mind.
