Does motorcycle superstore not ship to the UK? There's always ebay, etc.

I thought this site was for information and help within the kdx owner community and was not under the impression that it is side for budding comedians that aside if I want comedy in the future I will visit a comedy site dickheads.

Easy there....no need to get angry. It would help all of us NON UK living riders to know what reeds are offered there.

I say get the 607s!

just bugged about the pisstake answer given by a couple of members im in no way tarring everyone on this site with the same brush but a civil answer without sarcasm would have been enough. Turns out KTM/SX125 carbon reeds go on but a bit long in the petal so need to be trimmed with a scalpel.

Boyesen mfr. 59-7638(#638) is the stock cage replacement reeds.

#59-7504 = carbon pro, a little more expensive

http://www.motorcycle-superstore.co.uk/ ... power-reed

Best price I found compared to ebay.co.uk, shipping from the U.S is ludicrous

Or search by 89-96 KX250 I think they are the same fitment

Good luck m8

Most people use boyesen 607 power reeds. The comment above was not as smart assed as you have taken it, it was a serious question. We here in the US do not know if the Boyesen reeds are readily available in the UK, since we have never had to shop for them there.

Another response like the one above, and you will have to use a site full of comedians (like TT or DRN) for help, as you won't be welcome back here.
