I just did a top end on my '01 CR250 due to time put on the bike and some low end power loss. When I pulled the cylinder I noticed that 2 reeds were broken, one was missing a piece as well.
As a result, I bought a V-Force Delta 2 reed cage and installed it along with a Wiseco piston/ring kit.
Compared to old top end and broken reeds, the bike seems to have much better bottom end, but it seems I lost a little top end.
Jetting: Texas (sea level) #30 pilot, #420 main, H1-75 Needle 2nd clip.
Love the throttle response and bottom end now but would like the top end also. I'm thinking about going to a #430 main. Also have an S-7 Nozzle I've never tried.
Any suggestions?
