Default Banshee Carbs...

The banshee stock carbs are 26mm right?..... What kind of power increase would I see (rwhp) if I switched the stock carbs out for some 35mm pwks..? Assuming everything else on my bike stays the same.. its piped with intake, head mods, flywheel ect....

Unless your ported or big bore, I think 35';s would be too big. Youd lose some throttle response for sure. Have you thought about gettting yours bored out to 28's?? Or getting some 30 mm carbs..

RoostKing is right 35mm is too big for your setup. The least expensive way would to bore your stock carbs out to 27.5mm and it will scream!

Alot of people get WAY to big carbs for their small bore setup. Anything, IMO, less than a 440 wouldnt need any bigger than a 30mm carb. Look at some Keihin PWK 28mm carbs. I have those, but bored to 29.5 mm, and usually nothing can touch me at all. I was at Silver Lake this weekend, and alot better looking more powerful quads couldnt beat me. Also head over to LRD's site, and they also back up teh claim that bored out 28mm pwks will make more power than anything form 26-35mm.

Ill agree as well. The only time id justify using a carb that size on a stock bore motor is a drag ported built to the hilt bike on methanol. In that case id run a set of 34's.
