I was wondering if anyone here has removed a set of stock metal reed petals from their original reed block that were in good condition and installed the boyesen 2 stage fiberglass reed petals on their orig reed block and noticed an obvious difference for the worse or for the better anywhere in the powerband.
Please also list exactly what bike it was on and maybe whether it was a same day back to back test or not.
Thanks in advance for any info.

Boyseen reeds give you instant throttle response like going to fuel injection as opposed to cracking the throttle open and getting that " WHHAA" 1st....
What bike did you try these on?
They don't advertise a rad valve for a 1980 yz250 but one from another bike may fit i suppose.
I think moto tassinari makes a v force3 but obviously that is different then the rad valve.
Thanks for the info.
Even without a performance gain, removing the steel reeds and the potential damage from a broken one is worth the upgrade.
I would change to any carbon or fiberglass reed at a minimum as quicken mentioned, one of those old metal reeds will do some damage if it fails. Often forgotten but still around is Carbon tech reeds, they were what we used back in the 90's on the pro bikes we built. Still come in a CD case, LOL

Being a squid c rider and not making any jetting changes I could never feel any difference.

It gave him more power but he said now his prop / impeller " cavitated" ?
Were these the 2 stage fiberglass power reeds or a complete reed valve assy?
.
I may get a V Force for the KX in time
