Reed help

[jbrim]

I am thinking about purchasing some reeds for my 01 KDX220. I ride in the woods and I do not know what I should buy. Can anyone help.

Thanks

if u want to spend little get boyesen super stock reeds if you want some killer bottom end snap get the vforce3. honestly tho i think all the bottom end came from the rb carb and head mod on my 200. but its there.

I adressed this with Jeff Fredette as I sent the top end to him this winter for all his goodies. I took advantage of all the engine and carb services he provides. In his opinion he stated, that a crisp set of reeds, no matter what brand work jsut fine. the V-force does in fact make a little more power, but not enough for him to justify taking my $150.

I think the above answered your question :)

I got the Boyesen Super Stock fiber reeds and they work fine.

 

[Green Hornet]

Did you notice a difference?

Chad Reeds are the best :)

 

[Green Hornet]

OK, No more milk and cookies for you :) Oh yeah, is'nt that the guy who always catching ROOST from BUBBA STEWART?

 

[BradFrost]

:laugh:
Yeah but it's only a matter of time before he's handing out soil samples from the front o' tha pack again.

They are both top notch, unlike :| Carmichael who is great but is a sore loser :(

Tricky Ricky has the stuff.... to be a politician.
To be honest, I like watching his riding style. Just not the lip after the race.

I put Carbon Tech low tension carbon fiber reeds in my 220. Gave it a good low end boost and a big top end boost. Major improvement!!

I second the Carbon Tech low tension reeds. I have a set on order for my wife's new KDX. They greatly enhance the bottom. If you are running a stock expansion chamber, you will loose some top end with these reeds. These reeds, matched with a Pro Circuit pipe make a great combination, allowing the bike to perform better, everywhere. I have used this combo on a KDX previously, and will be doing it again this weekend. Now, if only I could find a carbon fiber (or fiberglass) guard for that pipe.......

Boyseen 607 reeds are the best bang for the buck kyou can get. I have wasted the money tryin them all.

Amen on the 607's! :cool:

I just replaced my son's 4 yr old FMF Torque Reeds with new ones. For $30, how can you go wrong! He can pull his front wheel off the ground in most of his gears.

I will second the fmf torque reeds. I had installed boyesen reeds in my 200 and it just didn't have enough lowa end for clumsy me. I replaced the boyesen with fmf torque reeds and am very pleased with the increase down low. If some one really swears by the boyesen 2 peice reeds I have a set of low mileage boyesen reeds I could sell them.

Do the Boysen 607's fit on the RAD valve? Those carbon fibre ones I got for it are ****e.
