Hey guys, Just got out and test rode the new V-Force Reeds for the 500. I had been running the Rad Valve with new petals, Uzi. I don't know if I could feel power difference. I had some trouble starting the k5, as it was only 40 degrees, she was pretty cold. I fattened the mixture screw, but was hesitant to really wind it out, since I didn't swap the main. What I did notice, was no raspy bottom. Before, right off the bottom, it had a rich sounding exhaust, but seemed to have power, and no noticable power shortage. Now, It sounds clean all the way through the rpm range. Stewart's right again. Imagine that. Great purchase for performance upgrade. The "reed timing" thread seems to suggest, any reeds that don't resist free-flow of fuel would be a rich condition, that would be near impossible to tune out.
Runs like a new one....
