Nsr 250 Reeds.

Tue Dec 06, 2011 11:27 am » Post: #1 » Download Post

What do you think about Boyesen 2 stage reeds, I check the search and i saw that it is good but I heard that the second reed is too fat and never open in 250 2 cylinder bikes and it is only for one cylinder dirt bikes!
If the second doesnt open the nsr will have good midrange because the small reed is thin and opens fast but at 10.000 rpm the nsr loose power and the stock are better!
What do you think?

Personaly i'd stick with the Tyga Hi Flow Reeds. If your after that little more on the top end and mid range go with the carbon fiber petals.

Why aren't carbon reeds safe?

If they snap then they simply get chewed up by the engine and spat out in a puff of dust...

Carbons quite tough material, I had a reed break up on a KTM and it lunched the big end! Having said that I would be suprised if plastic or glass fibre reeds didnt do the same thing.

Take the time and do a comparison dyno run when you get the new reeds . It will be good to see what you get .

Yeah for a 21/28, I can't see why they wouldn't fit in an 18.

I've got carbon reeds in my NSR, which has done a couple of seasons racing, a bunch of trackdays and a few thousand road miles. No problems so far.

I've also not heard of someone destroying their engine due to reed failure (until the KTM mentioned above!).

All these things are down to an individual to assess the risk and what they're comfortable with.
