Reeds

Recommended Posts

Ok so I have been playing with the idea of getting some reeds for the shee. I want to know exactly what they do. what ones are the best for my machine and if its even worth it to do. Mods are in the signature but I will be adding a Wildcard Racing Noss head soon.

Any info would be great.

Thanks guys

What type of riding do you do? How do you want your power delivery to be?

Just a weekend warrior. playing on the dunes and soon I will start doing a lot of trail riding. but I want it more for the dunes.

You probably wont notice a huge difference with the reeds. But for dunes the VF3s will be a little better. You might notice a small amount of extra power, really it just makes the bike a little more peppy, it will accelerate a little easier, rev a little quicker up top.

 

For trails, I would reccomend the Boyesen Rad valves, I've had them on all my dirt bikes, and just recently put a set on my Banshee. It seems like th ebike will rev a little quicker earlier on. But, like I said before, the difference is really minimal. Unless your all modded out there are better ways to spend the $200.

 

I see you don't have the timing advance, for the $40 that costs youll notice a bigger difference then reeds. 200 pesos will also buy a good set of trail tires on aluminum rims too.

I do have the timing advanced to +4. I guess I need to update my sig.

Face,

If and when you ever get around to the build, porting your stock reed cages is part of the quote I gave you. With some carbon reeds and the cage mod, they will be very comparable to the VF's

 

 

Sweet I am hoping I can do that at the first of next season. Of course I dont expect that quote to still be good then but I am looking at doing it!

I picked up stock ported cages, and new (1 ride) carbon reeds for $50.
