While I was in my local Honda dealer they were pushing a new set of boyeson reeds that they claimed to be betterv force just wondered if anyone had any dealings with them?
Just to clarify they were not just petals they are a complete reed block. |

Hi Shaun
Was this the Boysen Rad Valve?
Unless they have changed, they have an angled inlet to suit the bike. So not so good for Superkart use.
In all honesty we dyno tested them on MX bikes as well and found them pretty mediocre.
They are manufacturing a new "Rage Cage", but I believe that is for Snowmobile applications at least a present
Best Regards
Ian

| Tried the reeds mediocre is a bit of a understatement. Slightly irrelevant but on eBay noticed some v force 3 reeds but it says they are the latest design and massively different just wondered had anyone tried them?? |

Hi Shaun
I think the reeds for the 1986-2004 are still the same?
However they have changed the design of the reeds for the '05/'07 block and they seem prone to self destruct at high rpm.
Best Regards
Ian

| Since had an afternoon free went back to re try the reeds/cage to fair this is on a 2001 cr after a lot of carb set up hassle We found them to be slightly better than the v force mostly the first 1/4 throttle. But We had to richen the mid and top end slightly to get them to work. Just what We found |
