What does VForce 3 reeds do?

The simple premise of the VForce3 reed valve system is to increase engine power and throttle response by increasing the efficiency over a conventional reed valve design. Double the reed tip surface over a conventional reed valve design. Increased bottom end, stronger mid-range and longer top-end.

Do v Force reeds make a difference?

What are the benefits of VForce reeds? A VForce reed valve system provides a boost in bottom end power, along with stronger mid-range and longer top-end power, while it also allows more airflow which ultimately means more horsepower.

How long do reed valves last?

Generally, reed valve petals should be replaced every 100-150 hours. Engines with reed valves that are failing can present symptoms of hesitation during acceleration. The engine may fail to respond to the increased fuel flow and then jump forward as the gas is finally ignited.

What do reeds do on a 2 stroke?

Two-stroke engines Reed valves are commonly used in high-performance versions of the two-stroke engine, where they control the fuel-air mixture admitted to the cylinder. As the piston rises in the cylinder a vacuum is created in the crankcase beneath the piston.

Do VForce reeds add power?

The reeds wont add any HP to the bike. What they will do is allow the power to come on sooner and stronger.

What is a Power Reed?

Power reeds use a patented dual stage fiberglass design for more air flow, more air velocity and more power. The top reed is lightweight and resilient for crisp throttle response at partial throttle or low RPMs; the stiffer, bottom reed is ported to provide maximum flow and horsepower at higher RPMs.

Do reed valves make a difference?

More rigid reed valves usually help the engine at high rpm, because they avoid resonance and, by returning more easily to their starting position, they avoid the play of fuel from the crankshaft.

What do Boyesen reeds do?

Dual-stage reeds work in unison to perform efficiently throughout the entire powerband. The difference in stiffness between the top reed and the bottom reed allow the reeds to respond quickly and accurately to changes in engine pressure.

How often should you replace reed valves?

Always check the instruction manual for your engine before and during assembly. Generally, reed valve petals should be replaced every 100-150 hours.

Why do 2 stroke engines most always have a reed valve?

Reed valve allows the mixture to move in only one direction – from the carburetor to the crankcase. It prevents the mixture from moving back to the carburetor. In the effect reed valve improves reloading of the combustion chamber with fresh air-fuel mixture. This improves power output of modern two stroke engines.
