Hi all,
I have had my Rm for a few months now and just do basic riding around and jumping the few jumps I have made, with the biggest being my 30' tabletop. I feel like I'm a pretty good rider and would like to start racing in the not too distant future. My bike is totally stock( n-style sticker kit and Fat tapered bars being delivered from santa) and I know it probably needs a few things to make it a bit more competitive on the track. Now this is my first bike and I don't really know much at all, My knowledge of my bike does not go any further than basic maintenance- chain, controls, air filter, oil and very basic suspension setup - set sag and play with the clickers. My Dad is a farmer and knows how lots of things work and can help me with simple things that I mentioned above. but cannot when it comes to the engine he hasn't had a dirtbike or anything too similar before. Anyway I'm sorry this is going so long :blah: but I'm getting to my point. I have asked and searched around here for what I should get for my bike to improve performance, all the answers have been mostly three things they are, Pipe silencer, bigger rear sprocket and a V-force reed block. I know what a sprocket is and what a pipe and silencer are but can someone explain what are reeds where they are located what they do and what a V-force reed block is and how will it help. Thanks a heap sorry for the long post, and what probably seems to be a stupid question to most of you. BuLly
