That is the whole point of V Force Reeds. Crisp Throttle. You have 4 reed petals per cage vs the stock 2. That means the 4 reeds dont opean as far as the 2 on the stock cage, but they flow the same amount. So the time it takes the reeds to opean and close is cut in half because they are not opeaning as far. That equals better throttle responce.
