Whats up with V Force?

[Roostmad1]

just purchased my first and last V Force3 today and i must say im not impressed to say the least for starters looks like cheap plastic to me and all the reed petals are not sealed properly and can see heaps of daylight shining on through!!,should't be like that should it?, it will make my K5 run rich!!correct me if i'm wrong but isn't that the reason you change the reed petals when they are no longing sealing properly,anybody else had this proplem,don't really want to run it like that and it sucks as it brand new and was looking forward to it.!!got some cool stickers with it though lol.

I thought that too with my VF 2's. Plastic and I had to cut up a new reed cage deal. My 2's were sealed, and the bike is not rich anymore. Its running nice with Vf 2's. Can you flip them over or  just send them back? That plastic will hold up to any race fuel you throw at it. Maybe just a bad one...

I just put a set in my 500 and it rips now!
Why not give them a try since you paid for them?
Did you get them from a local shop?

i went for a ride around the block yesterday afternoon and i must say it is quicker with the V force,your in top gear in no time,just seems crisper,had to run the reed spacer though as the reed stops where just touching inside the inlet port,i'm getting into this 500,so nice to ride with all that smooth grunt,thanks everybody for the help.cheers Rich
