banshee4L Posted April 24, 2024 Report Posted April 24, 2024 Are these oem carbs? It’s a pricey purchase so before I buy them just want to make sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
JerzOutlaw350 Posted April 24, 2024 Report Posted April 24, 2024 Yes, according to the parts # on the boxes they are Genuine OEM Yamaha Banshee Carburetors. The price for the pair is pretty cheap. When I had a problem with one of my OEM carburetor the local Yamaha dealership wanted roughly $305.00 per carburetor and for that price I went and bought a pair of genuine Keihin 28mm Pwk’s and saved myself about $150-$200 over the OEM carburetors. I mean if you’re building a completely stock Banshee then get the OEM carburetors. But on other hand just buy a pair of keihin carburetors because they are easier to tune for jetting and you get better throttle response with them. 1 Quote
Qliphoth Posted April 25, 2024 Report Posted April 25, 2024 (edited) in my opinion, these are china rubbish carbs and way overpriced. i just discovered "banshee" carbs that look very similar, on amazon (with lots of bad reviews) and ebay, for around 50 bucks. the factory Banshee's actually all come with the TORS instead of regular caps, so this cannot be OEM carbs. those tags with part numbers on it, might be genuine, but this doesn't mean anything. @JerzOutlaw350 when you have no clue, you better say nothing 😉 Edited April 25, 2024 by Qliphoth 1 Quote

RMATV has them for $301.45. Maybe you should take your own advise. 2 Quote
JerzOutlaw350 Posted April 28, 2024 Report Posted April 28, 2024 @Qliphoth Yes, I do know what I am talking about. I’ve been along time member of this site since 1998 just have a different screen name now. Yes, I do know the difference between Chinese knock off junk carburetors and Genuine OEM carburetors and I also know about the ones that are being sold by Amazon and sold on eBay. When I had the little glass window that’s on the side of my right side carburetor fall out I shopped around and even went to the parts department at my local dealership and they brought out 2 Genuine OEM Yamaha Carburetors and they were only the carburetors and they DID NOT include the TORS unit / switch assemblies because they were sold separately. Also @QliphothYOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE AND NOT SAY ANYTHING IF YOU HAVE A CLUE!! Like @hoppedupandcutdown said Yamaha still sells OEM carburetors and they DO NOT include the TORS units/switch assemblies. @banshee4L You can purchase Genuine OEM carburetors from either Rocky Mountain ATV/MC.com or Motorsport.com 2 Quote
