BANSH-alena-jol-EE Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 just got my new v force 3 reeds, in the instructions it say i have to modify my stock rubber manifold? what do i have to modify ? my mods are k$n filter with lid, gold series fmf sst pipes and powercore 2 silencers, they are claming that these vf3 reeds will give hp, is this true or did i just waste $300?? i know this isnt the jetting forum but they said in the instructions that re jetting is not required? if it was going to make a darastic improvement, wouldnt i have to re jet???

Great mod, and depending on what its jetted at now yes you will have to re jet. You cut off the rubber tabs on the stock intake boots, that is all. Hold on! Quote
Ieat4strokes Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 BANSH-alena-jol-EE - I just had to tell ya, the name is bad ass! hahaha but yea like above, you'll see when you try to put em in that there are rubber triangle shaped tabs on your stock boots, cut em off and use a dremel or something to smooth the rubber down to make sure u get a good seal.

Hold on! is the v force increasing air or fuel or i guess both....but usually will i need to go to a bigger jet or smaller....i just got the bike, have never jetted before, ahha and dont know what jets are on it now ...so yah!!!im facked ahha Quote

BANSH-alena-jol-EE Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Posted March 18, 2009 ive been seeing a bunch of different looking vf3 reeds out there....some have like a comb on them or a plastic peice whice is on an angle, i guess the reed pedal opens up so far then hits this peice? ...however the ones i just got shipped in dont have this peice onthem just the reeds and the cage? whats the deal , how many types of them are there?.. or did i get vf2 or sometin just with a vf3 crest on them?

XxMeltIcexX Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 A stop?, your probably thinking about the stuffers, replace the plastic inner piece that makes the intake round. The stuffers make them square. Quote
moneybags Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 A stop?, your probably thinking about the stuffers, replace the plastic inner piece that makes the intake round. The stuffers make them square. Dont run the stuffers if your running a round intake... Quote
jbooker82 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 I wouldnt say v force reeds make more power. They might a little. The big difference should be throttle responce. They have 2x as many reed petals opeaining half as far. So it takes less time for the reeds to opean and close. josh Quote
BANSH-alena-jol-EE Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Posted March 18, 2009 (edited) so whats the deal with the stuffers??...that plastic peice can snap in or out and makes it round or square.....seems alot more restrictive with the plastic peice in , which should be run, with that plastic peice, making it round, or with out the peice? like those pics above Edited March 18, 2009 by BANSH-alena-jol-EE Quote
dajogejr Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 You're gonna get better throttle response. 300 bucks is high, you could've put that towards porting and made a SHIT ton more power than reed cages alone. IMO...VF3 respond well to built motors, drag motors, etc. I'm assuming you have stock carbs/stock intakes. You'll notice it snappier, but if you put it on a dyno you'd barely notice a few HP at best. even with stock carbs and aftermarket pipes, porting will be the biggest HP improvement hands down. Run the stock stuffers, do not get the big square aftermarket ones. I love that screen name...bad ass!!! :biggrin: Quote
badassbanshee479 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 the plastic piece is the factory piece, the square piece is something cascade makes so you can run vf3's on bigger carb intakes..... Quote
sandunagen Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 the guy that just dyno my quad said youll gain 3 to 4 horsepower and yes a way better throttle response. Quote
BANSH-alena-jol-EE Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Posted March 19, 2009 i just got to try BANSH-alena, for the first time with the vf3!!! the throttle did feel more responsive and it seemed like the power came on a little earlier than it did before...i was hoping to have gained more top end power in the gears, but this seems to make more in the mid range? anyone else agree?.. but that biz-natch did seem to be hauling a bit more which makes me happy!!!
