dajogejr Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 A tiny dab of locktite (blue stuff) will make sure those screws back out. I think badassbanshee479 did have a screw backout on him and trash a motor...but, I could be mistaken. 2's do make a few HP more on a dyno...nothing you'll feel or even see on a timesheet, though. For the price, I'd get the 2s as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04banshee_fmf Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 so there is no noticable HP gains with the 2 or 3s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoder78 Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 How do you go about getting them warrantied? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 The 2's were very nice reeds. Sucks they discontinued them, they were killer. I'd take the 2s over the 3s even for the same price, personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samc Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 well dont bitch on here that your jugs got fucked up when those screws backed out, imo. your supposed to put blue lock tight on the screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justintoxicated Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 your supposed to put blue lock tight on the screws. Locktight eats plastic. I used to locktight everything on my RC's and then realized I was stripping the screws that went ino the plastic left and right. Some research led me to the fact that locktight should only be used for metal to metal. So maybe he did mean that it will make them back out? Although I don't remember if they thread into plastic or not. I have not had any problems with my V2's either. I noticed the V3's have some sort of gasket thing that looks like it should be cut off to increase flow. Like it makes the opening smaller or something. I dunno, probably does not matter anyways.

The "gasket thing" you are referring to is the stuffer I presume? They can be replaced with square ones and the circle is eliminated. Cascade sells them, VFIII Stuffers. Ive never had VFII's so i wouldnt know about the screw thing, just what i've heard about them. I run the VFIII's with no problems and no worries about any screws being injected into my cylinders. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalinIt Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 As for the 2's and 3's.... Id go 3's for an all around bike... and 2's for a dag bike. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidonan Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 i had a screw back out and broke the piston at the ports then it went to the top of the piston and screwed the head and the piece of piston that broke off bent the crank. so go with the 3's. (i didnt put the reeds together, i just bought a runnin bike) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
