BigRed350x Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Hey guys I was curious. I have vforce reeds from 2001. How long do the reeds last before they have to be replaced? Is their away to tell w/o pulling them off? I wouldn't go more than 2 years on a set, even if they look good. There will be micro cracks which will get bigger over time. That's just me though and I'm kinda anal about shit like that. Stick them in and if they work and you are happy with it, run em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r/atvshee Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 (edited) to tell when the reeds are wearing out is if there breaking or have chips. my v forces are just as old as yours and run like a champ. so you should be fine for now Edited July 13, 2006 by r/atvshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbanshee8 Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 I had to replace mine, after 3-4 years of use, because a couple of the petals wouldn't close all the way. No cracks or chipping in them though, so I saved them, for an emergency repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducman Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Mine had tiny cracks and were wearing out on the corners causing them not to seal good after 1 year or about 150 hrs. I probably could have flipped them over but I decided not to chance it with my new motor. They wear out pretty fast and you have to remove the petal to see the wear on the corners where the reed touches the cage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
