It would have been a lot cheaper for yamaha to go with single carb, so if it would have been better, don't you think they would have done it.

I think space is the main issue...if someone makes it work right let me know and I'll jump on board.

Coming from Yamaha? No, I dont think so.

Maybe this is one of the reasons why a raptor is 6500$

Does anyone have any experience with the Edelbrock Quicksilver single carb kit for the Raptor? I have heard that they are tough to jet on a banshee. Is the Raptor better. I have an Edelbrock on my hot rod '71 Camaro Z-28 and I love it. Anyone with some insight?

The single carb works pretty good for the DS, But I wonder how the single carb would effect the Rappy's 5 valve head??? Since one carb has to be richer than the other, would it mean that one big carb would'nt flow right???maye causing unbalance fuel mixture in the head. Hmmmmmmm.
