[1966nova]

i have a 01 banshee im geeting ready for my fmf pipes it is stock very mild port and 20 t hous shave head stock carbs with vitos reeds i installed the reeds with stock exhaust and it seems like its more bogging feeling??? are they junk reeds???? or should i use the stock ones.. i just want a bike with alittle more power than stock and this is my first banshee????

 

thanks greg

 

which reeds would be good or my vitos reeds good......im using stock cages also

Before you assume the reeds are bad, have you checked your jetting? What about the metering needle height? Was everything running great & now it bogs right after you installed the vito reeds? No they are not junk reeds. Are the reed petals closing all the way?

the jets are stock and needle setting never have been touched also the reeds are closing all the way it just feels diffrent shouldnt it be more peppy???

maybe u installed them wrong, and/or have an air leak somewhere around yuour intake manifold or carberators? did u put all the intake boots on right and tighten down the hose clamps? put the carberators back together right? all hoses hooked up properly?

try leaning out the needle one clip. (clip up

IMO you need to clean out the carbs. and a jet kit would help your bike out also.

when you port the cylinders and add an exhaust system the engine will demand more fuel. if you don't give the engine more fuel you will lean burn the engine and possibly causing engine failure.
