Just picked up this 97 KDX 200. PO did a gnarly pipe, RB carb, and some other stuff. I asked if he's replaced the reeds, and he said he couldn't remember, but he didn't think so. But then I got it home, and noticed a "Boyesen" sticker on the rear shock reservoir. He did all the upgrading in 9 years ago, so the reeds are at least that old, or original.
Can you tell what these are, and if stock?
How long do stock reeds last?
Dropping both KDX's off next week to get carbs cleaned and re-jetted, so wondering if I should just buy new ones now?
Which Boyesen reeds offer the best low end grunt? (Using stock cage, want to keep it affordable).
Thanks guys!

Re: Are these stock reeds?
Boyessen 2-stage reeds.
They look to be in good shape, but you really have to take off the reed cage to check.
6 screws and pull them off.
