what kind of reeds should i buy for my 99 zr 440 sno pro ne suggestions

**smallengineguy** · 01-09-2006, 07:46 PM

V-Force reeds are great.

yup, vforce reeds worked wonders in both my kx 125 and yz80, so im sure they'll do good for your sled.

i had boysen dual stage in my old yz 80, much better throttle response, they were replacing STEEL reeds, but they did what they said they would.

After finding my V force reeds had self imploded and I had 2 missing complete petals.. I will never buy v force reeds again.
I had great luck with boysen though in my RM250's so I think I will try them next.

unfortunately i cant try anything in my sled, it doesnt have reeds.

delta 2 are no good, however delta 3s are perfect. boysen cant match the power v force gives with the split cage.

hey letitsnow, a little off topic but I see on your sig you have a 1995 CR 125. I used to race that same bike and loved it. I had mine ported and polished and it was murderous to a stock 250. Im my opinion the fasted 125 ever made and the single toy I wish I would have never sold. This was a pointless reply, just brought back memories

letitsnow · 01-10-2006, 07:16 PM

i like it pretty good, just have to keep practicing and messing with the suspension, it has a pretty good low end hit, did yours have a powerband like that stock?

94zr580 · 01-10-2006, 08:28 PM

all the suspension in the world wont make your picky a$$ happy. lol

letitsnow · 01-10-2006, 09:15 PM

people like me are the reason the things like the rev chassis and mono-shock dirtbike suspension came out, we b****ed until someone got sick of it and built what we wanted so we would shut up.
you should be thanking me.

EMPTY YOUR MAILBOX!!!!

If I had all the money back I stuck in the CR I would be a rich man. After trying 4 aftermarket pipes (FMF, ProCircuit,DG, and Bills), I found the stock to give me the biggest punch and stuck with it, go figure. That CR had a monster for a motor and still is untouchable. As far as suspension went, the stock was horribly harsh and had terrible headshake. I sent it off to Pro Circuit to have it revalved and sprung, which was the only solution that I could find to make it suitable. Stick a 52 tooth rear sproket and some Pro-Taper bars on it and your ready hit the dirt hard and get back up with a smile.

I am replacing the petals in my v-force 2 reedcages today.
None were broken off, but most had stress cracks. I bought 2
packs of petals and replacing the worst on my 3 cages ( for ac 800 triple)

Dealer said all the v-force reeds will break. Nature of the beast. Sacrifice
durability for performance. Need to inspect and replace bad petals regularly was my dealer's advice.

I'd replace them all dude and call it a day.

Shouldn't have to tear it apart for a while after that>

Tamacat is right. I should have done them all. But at 55 dollars a pack- I was
trying to save a few bucks. Will find out in a year or so if that was a wise
decision.
