When to replace reeds?
Posted: 07:51 am Apr 16 2010
I'm new to 2-strokes - the 220 is my first. It supposedly has Boyesen reeds but I don't know which. Looks like the stock reed cage so I'm assuming it's not the Rad, V2 or V3 setup.
Bike generally runs really well, so I'm inclined to leave well enough alone. But... how would I know when the reeds aren't up to par. Is it by visual inspection? Performance drop? Lean or rich symptoms? More smoke? Do you replace them by hours or miles?
Thanks
