What are considered the "best" OEM replacement reeds now days? The 2001 RM 250 I have now is the 1st 2 stroke I've had in 6 years so I'm behind the times some. Is Boyseen still considered the "top dog" in reeds still?
depends, if you want the entire new cage i think v-force are the best moto tassarnie(or something make them) FMF also makes reeds and cages, although ive never tried them... i have boyesen power reeds, dual stage... work great i noticed they pulled harder down low and mid, but my bike has pretty much always been a screamer so i didnt notice much up top. And now that ive convinced myself that the dealer is bull****...
I've got the Boysen power reeds, not the carbon fiber ones. It helped the lower end and costs around 30 bucks, verses getting the entire cage for over a hundred. Just make sure you rejet when and if you change your pipe. It runs real rich from the factory.

I would suggest Carbon Tech reeds. Suzuki factory teams started using them a few years ago, before switching to the DeltaForce Reed Cage. Carbon Tech offers 3 different tensions to allow a custom power performance preference for the rider (low, mid, top range power).
