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 withina narrow RPM range. For good performance at low RPM, you need a soft reed that can open easily. But at high RPM, you need a rigid reed that can close quickly" , Noone-stage reed can do both. That's why your original reed-and all one-stage reeds-are merely a compromise. Boyesen Racing Reeds featur e dual action. One soft reed on top of one firm, flow-through reed gives you a .wide range of effective intake control, plus increased intake velocity", Your original reeds can't possibly duplicate that performance ... 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 guaran teed 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.
