ocean's 4 Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Just wondering about rad valves, I have an '03 Banshee with Toomey T6's, K&N clamp ons, boost bottle, and jetted. Does anyone know if putting a set of rad valves will make a difference, or if i should put some carbon fiber reeds instead? I've been looking around on the internet but haven't found any solid advice. Quote
dunefreak Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 I would recommend that if you are going to spend any money on reeds, get V Force reeds. They are by far the best and last the longest from what I have heard by many. I have a rad valve on my YZ250 and they wear out just as fast as stock ones. They work well, but my next set of reeds will be a V Force setup. Quote
lvnalolife Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 I have had the vforce 2 in my banshee for the last 3 years. Good crisp throttle response. I would definately recommend either the vforce 2 or the even better vforce 3's. You have about the same setup, only difference is I have Toomey T5's and a Pro-design Cool Head with 19cc domes. So from experience go with the vforce. Quote
sanddunesaddict Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Put V-Force in the bike and never worry about them. Quote
ocean's 4 Posted January 5, 2006 Author Posted January 5, 2006 Thanks guys, sounds unanimous, V-Force it is. Quote

What have you got against the Banshees? I have not had any problems with mine and it screams up the hills. Did you have a bad experience with yours? All I have done in the last 3 years is change the fluids and add gas and go. Quote

Don29palms Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 My dad always said the best cure for a smart a$$ is a kick in the head. Yeah I know. I was just kidding around. Quote
sandm Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Yeah I know. I was just kidding around. I INSTALLED V FORCE 3, T5, COOLHEAD W 20cc, K&N CLAMP-ONS, I WAS INPRESSED WITH THE PERFORMANCE. BUT MAKE SURE THE JETTING IS RIGHT OR ELSE Quote
xXQuickSandXx Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Everyone has an opinion. Id keep the Banshee. Ha ha haaa!! Talk about grave diggin a thread LOL! But that's awesome, good to see our stickers floating around! Quote

LS1inferno Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 IMHO loose the boost bottle, it will rip the intake boots, and I noticed a cripser throttle response when i took it off. Quote
lvnalolife Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Yeah way old! I sold my banshee 1-1/2 years ago. Only have one Banshee now and the wife loves it. I crossed over to the dark side and got an 08 LTR 450. Quote
80grit Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Wow this is a 3 1/2 year old post. Sold my Banshee too. Have a LTR 450 now. No more tuning carbs, mixing race fuel, etc etc. Just hit the electric starter and go. Quote
