wacko2000 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) I have v-force reeds, I got new gaskets from cascade for them, Im wondering if there is supposed to be a gasket on both sides of the reeds? I do have one on both sides, but they are different, the one between the reed and carb boot has a smaller opening.. Also do they still sell replacement reeds for the 2's?

wacko2000 Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) I just looked at the OEM diagram and it only shows 2 gaskets...They go between the reeds and jugs..They dont show a set between the reeds and the carb boots/manifold.. I have both.... Anyone???? Edited February 11, 2008 by wacko2000 Quote
zach45 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 i think mine only has in-between the reeds and jugs... i think jeff at fasy still have vf2 reeds Quote
yamaha04 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 the gasket goes on the cylinder side then the reed cages go in and then the intake boots have a rubber o ring around them and they seal the other side of the reed cage Quote

yamaha04 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 you must mean aftermarket cages?. i can see you cuting out the two parts that stick up but not the accually ring? but if thats what it calls for then yeah you probably need 4 gaskets Quote
zach45 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 i dont run 4... i dont think i do... god im retarded Quote
wacko2000 Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Posted February 11, 2008 i dont run 4... i dont think i do... god im retarded Zach are you running stock reeds? The rubber o-ring inside the cage gets cut out when you switch to aftermarket reeds.. Quote
Snopczynski Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 to fit stock boots on a v-force, you have to surface the nubs off them. At that point the bottom of the boot will be machined, exposed metal. Put a gasket on both sides of the reed cages. Quote
yamaha04 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 i have no idea what you are talking about but there the oring im talking about. not on the reend cage its on the intake boot that mounts to the cage and cylinder. what are you talking about cutting? what reeds are you running? Quote

Thanks man thats what I wanted to hear..I have my v-force reeds on my shee for 2 years, and I have always had gaskets on both sides, I was workin on the shee tonight replacing gaskets and what not and just wanted to make sure that everyone runs gaskets on both sides of the reeds when they are rocking aftermarket reeds and cages.... Thanks Snop.. Quote

You must still be running your stock cages, with aftermarket reeds, bc when you run after market reeds and cages that rubber seal in the pic that you are showing me on the intake boot, that has to get cut off, cut smooth against the intake boot..If you dont cut that off your stock inatke boots would not work with aftermarket reeds...

I think he meant he cut the stuffers off the manifolds but left the "O-ring" seal on the outside edge. I did the same when I did a set of VF3's. Quote

I did the same when I did a set of VF3's. thats what i ment. i didnt see the need to cut the oring but. either way would work you just need 2 more gaskets. Quote
gentner8 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 I dont think running 4 gaskets will hurt anything as long as its sealed one way or another. Quote
