Performance Reeds

Post by Plooster »

Just wondering if anyone has replaced the stock reeds with some performance ones? would it gain power?
Something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/47cc-49cc-POCKET-BI ... dZViewItem
I have a 1986 red Honda Spree
mods: uni prefilter, two 3/8 inch holes drilled in airbox lid, drilled jet out from .026 to .0292.

I also have a 1999 Yamaha Blaster
stock except Graydon Proline Nerfs Holeshot tires and aluminum rims.

Im sure they would. anything performance would make a spree go faster. The question is would they work in the place of spree reeds?

Don't know that they'd fit. Most scoot tuners don't seem to get much from the reeds. On higher RPM motors, switching to carbon fibre will protect your engine if you suck a petal into the engine.

Have you looked at your intake, and taken the restriction out where the carb bolts up? There's a narrow spot there that can be widened.

Let's say it wouldn't be the first thing I'd try.
