Default Banshee carb help needed

I have a 1997 banshee and I’m running stock carbs and was wondering if I should put bigger carbs on it because I have a good amount of work done and more being done this winter. Toomey t5 pipes, Ported by RDZ, Pod filters, Vforce4, TORS delete, 65mm pistons, Custom timing, Hot rod crank, White brothers boost bottle. Is everything thing that is done or getting done on it. I have a pair of 34mm mikuni carbs I can ge from a different bike or should I go with something else, Or stay stock?

Wouldn't hurt to look at what Jetsrus has to offer on the Banshee before you make any drastic moves. Pretty sure the stock jetting may not be enough with all that you've done.Main thing is plug chopping when changing jetting and the plug should be a tan to medium brown in color. If whitish color on the electrode, jetting needs to be bumped up.https://www.jetsrus.com/a_jet_kit_at..._1987-2006.htm

Wow, sounds like a sick bike. You could probably get a bigger carb but make sure it fits your shee first, a lot of them won't.

Also, be very carful with that boost bottle. That thing can ruin your quad

The boost bottle is to heavy for the intake boots and will cause them to crack. your bike will then run lean and fry a piston.
Check out Bansheehq.com everything you ever wanted to know about Banshee's.
