Eating Reeds

[Westro]

Has anyone else had problems with their R’s eating reeds? I have a stock reed block and a V force and I am having a tough time keeping reeds in them. Anyone have any secrets?

So its eating stock and v-force reeds? How much compression does it have?

[Westro]

Humm, I am running a little more compression with the NOSS head. Frankly I can't remember how many cc dome I have in right now. I am set up for pump gas.

I had a problem with that happening to my V force reeds too. You just have to get new ones and put them in. I check mine every so often and look for cracks.

If the V-Force cage you have is for a CR250 it's the wrong one and the reeds won't last. There is a different part # for the Trx and the reeds are different #'s also.
