What is the average life span of reeds? Got a new carb coming this week and thought I should inspect the reeds to see if there's any visual evidence they are toast (purchased bike used). Looking at them I can't tell if they're factory, aftermarket or what.. The bike's mid and upper range runs great but I'm trying to bring it back to factory spec. and reduce the hit.
I thought about ordering the Boyesen "Super Stock" fiber or carbon reeds (close to factory) rather than their "Pro Series" claiming hard hit. Yep, another 4-stroke lame-o fishing for good advise before buying the wrong thing.
