Boyesen's revolutionary dual-stage reed design delivers more usable power than stock. And it's taking the motocross world by storm. Your original one-stage reed operates most effectively only within a narrow RPM range. For good perfonnance at low RPM, you need a soft reed that can open easily . But at high RPM, you need a rigid reed tha t can close quickly" . No one-stage reed can do both. That's why your original reed-and all one-stage reeds-are merely a compromise. Boyesen Racing Reeds feature dual action. One soft reed on top of one finn, flow-through reed gives you a wide range of effective intake control, plus increased intake velocity", Your original reeds can't possibly duplicate that perfonnance .. . and that's the difference . You can easily remove the reed block, between cylinder and carburetor, and replace the original one-stage reeds . It's a minor replacement that's guaranteed to make a major improvement in your bike's performance. And Boyesen Racing Reeds won't destroy an engine the way broken metal reeds do.
