After pulling apart my reed cage to put my lectron on I found out I had the same issue a lot of other riders are having with these bikes. The gaps were worse than they look on these pics. Good news is that you can sand the blocks down and the reeds from last years bike back to 13 will fit. Different reed cage, same reeds. Got the gaps eliminated, now to try the carb.

Actually, a small gap doesn't affect much as the back pressure closes that unless the block is warped and they cant sit flush no matter what.

Are the reeds just a bit weak?

Block was warped and reeds weren't flat. It was a double whammy. There were gaps along the sides as well.
