Boysen Dual-Stage reeds/ rad valves?

[Bansheeb0y5505]

Hey. My dad is trading some stock reeds for a set of boysen rad valves with the dual-stage reeds.

 

Is there really a noticable difference? Any increase on power? Throttle repsonse?

 

We're doing it anyway, because they definitely wont hurt the bike, but was curious if I should expect some sort of increase anywhere.

You'll get more top end out of it with those. Make sure you jet the carbs right. Usually you have to lean them out a little to get into a nice powercurve. I have run Rad Valves on many dirt bikes and love them.

Hmmm, I've never heard of changing jetting for reeds/reed valves on a Banshee anyway.

 

The acceleration is a little cripser, quicker, the bike is a little more responsive, but as far as HP goes, somebody dynoed a set of reeds not too long ago and fgound no noticeable increase in HP.

 

I run Boyesen RAD valves on my 01, and I noticed a very very little difference when I went to them, but I'm also running a mostly stock motor. If I didn't get a good deal on the used set I got, I wouldnt even reccomend buying them. The $150 or whatever their getting for them nowdays could be better spent elsewhere.
