TE/TC Reed Valve

Anyone swap the stock reed valve out for a Boyesen Rad Valve or Vforce4?

If so what kind of benefits have you experienced.

Also running a Lectron.

thanks,

Not done this on a modern bike, but 'back in the day' used 'performance reeds, and they had no detectable affect over stock. Maybe on a dyno there is a difference, but not seat of the pants.
Bearing in mind these bikes use Boyesen or V-Force as stock, I doubt any differences will be much, unless the old reeds are worn out. In which case the bottom end response will be nicely cleaned up.

i put Boyesens Duel stage reeds in my 79 250WR guess it was 81 or 2 best 20 bucks i ever spent on that bike... boy i just dated myself HAHA

old fart

well im on my way for sure

Yes i fitted boysen rad valve to my TE '14 250 and made a big difference in throttle response - i should also add my stock reed cage housing i.e. the plastic was defective as petals would not sit flush. My dealer offered to replace but that also had same issue.

Same issue on '17 bikes - KTM/Husky using same manufacturing process via their suppliers - I'm convinced it's a flaw and why people struggle with jetting.

thanks for the info. I'm really considering doing the same thing.

I was considering doing the vforce on mine but a good friend of mine had problems getting his sealed up and I have read a few times that this isn't uncommon. Anyone here have issues like this (aside from the stockers haha)

When I started jetting mine. I was researching jetting on the Ktm's.
I came across a video showing a guy holding one up to light.

I checked mine and it was fine.

I would definately keep an eye on them.
