About the Boyesen power reeds

[f.gonzalez]

Hey, I am considering to buy this item for my KDX:

But I wonder if I would need something else to fit them in my bike or are they just kind of "plug & play" ??

and, would this help somehow?



Thanks

I've got those on my bike. Very popular with other riders as well.

Just remove your old reeds and install those. Also make sure to use loctite on the screws - don't want one of those backing out and getting sucked into your motor.

is this the same just in another material?

is this a better option?

Yeah, I have the Power Reeds on my KDX as well and they did make a noticeable difference. I was told they are the best reed setup for the price, next would be the Moto Tassinari or RAD valve but those are well over $100

No, they are not the same. I prefer the dual stage power reeds to the pro series carbon fiber reeds.

by just putting these and not the actual boyesen reed cage will i still gain performance? and if i put the boyesen reed cage will i get more power then if i was to use just the inserts?

Yes, the reeds are an improvement over stock. I've heard some mixed input on the boyesen rad valve, but the Vforce III cage is supposed to work really well on the KDX. Not a HUGE improvment over the power reeds for the price though.

In my opinion, it really helped just off idle through the mid.
