    @MOTORHEAD

    Thanks!
    I got it, I can use V2 reeds for Arctic Cat ZR800 (02-05), right?
    Unfortunately, it almost doesn't exist in my country, but I try to find it.

    Try contacting Moto Tassinari direct and see what they can tell you. There may be other alternate reeds that will work as well.

    How do you know if new reeds are needed?

    I generally replace them every other top end. You can visually inspect them, look for any signs of wear or fraying around the corners.

    Some replace them on time, others look for edges that start getting rough.

    I watch for rough edges and generally replace them after about two years.

    So buying the reeds for a Honda CR250 for a '90-'00 model should work. And VF sells just the reeds for that model, not just the entire reed block?

    It says they don't fit.

    Check the Motosportz site. They use to have reeds for the V2 valve.

    You're right. It also lists it fitting a Husky CR250 and the Honda CR250 among a bunch of other bikes at the bottom of the page.

    SO, do the Honda reeds actually fit the WR250 then?

    OK, here's the deal. I have put Honda VF reed valves in WR's. Some people haven't been able to get them to fit. I have a VF 3 valve in my WR250 which has an '06 cylinder on it. It was a 300 and I swapped cylinders to make it a 250. I took the 300 VF 3 and stuck it in the 250, but I also cleaned up the ports before hand.

    I have also put VF2 valves ( which you have ) in many other 250's. From what I could tell the reeds themselves where the same, just the mounting plates where different.

    With that, I'd say yes these reeds should fit, but they may not. So, I don't want to tell you they will and then they won't. But when I need new reeds for my VF3 that's in my bike, I'll order Honda replacements myself.

    I got rid of the v force, bought a reed block for a 00 Honda CR 250 off eBay. Put a set of Boyenson reeds in it. It was one of the best mods for me ....helped with jetting and the idle.

    Chef - Just wanted to double check. The Honda reed block frame size and mounting holes from late 90's up until 2001 looks about the same (except for the early years have 4 vs 6 petals). Are these the years that will fit? Did you have to modify it at all to make it work?

    Anyone else ever fit the Honda CR250 reed block and care to comment on this? Thanks!
