650/X-2 93 650sx intake reed question

Hey guys,

I have a 93 650sx with west coast head, west coast exhaust and water box, mikuni sbn 44 carb. I just rebuilt the carb and was wondering if I should consider replacing the reeds. The carb needed the rebuild bad. What reeds should I run and where can I buy them?

The ski runs well and has plenty of mid and top end, I'd like to see a little more low end, what do we think of this impeller?

Look for fraying around the edges of the fiberglass petals. They tend to last forever with the stock ignition rev limit. That impeller is good but needs to be pitched down for best acceleration.

Would I be better off just grabbing an impeller that is properly pitched? Also if the reeds are frayed where can I grab a set?

You can get an old Skattrak 8-16 or 9-17. A modified 750-800 impeller is the best performance option. Look for any aftermarket fiberglass reeds if you cant get them from Kawasaki for a decent price.
