Reeds and spacers

[royroy]

Hi

What do the spacers do exactly, and if i'm looking for more bottom end power should I even consider getting reeds at all???

Thanks

dont get reed spacers, there a complete waste of money unless your using them to clear larger carbs, but you can get reeds taht work with bottom end, i run TDR epoxy's and they do downlow, not sure how the deltas or v-force work on the bottom

dont waste ya money with reed spacers unless u have carb clearence problems and even if u do spend the money and get u a set of aluminum intakes for the bike u will benifit more in the long run as far as reeds get u some v-force 2's or send ya stock cages to a respectable builder or person and have them ported and put carbon fiber petals on them which ever u feel like doing i myself have seen no difference in track times from the stock modified cages as appose to the v-force 2 reeds

Reed spacers increase the intake tract length. There are some theories involving pressure waves reverbrating in both the intake and exhaust. Pressure waves in the intake disturb fuel flow if they arn't timed right. Hence sticking clamp on on the back of your carbs actully hurts performance. Not by much. But reed spaces increase the intake length hence the wave takes longer to make a complete pass and it could help with fuel atomization..though the effects are negligable. I got my reed spacers to clear the 28mm pwk bowl vents from the clutch arm. 34 bucks is a hell of a lot better then say 300 for the pro flow intake system.

Thanks guys

I just been having problems with my shee and thought maybe I should replace the reeds....

but maybe it's just a matter of tuning it right
