Boyesen dual stage reeds

[Grampy]

The aftermarket parts link lists Boyesen dual stage reeds, but the link doesn't get me there. Also can't find them listed for Gas Gas when I do get to the Boyesen site. Anyone know where to get them?

Just give Boysen a call and they will give you a part # if you cant find it.. very nice people,, I stopped in and picked mine up right there on the way home from work one day.. If I could remember the # I would post it.. but the older I get the more these simple things start slipping away..

Thanks, I saw those but they said "Rad Valve" reed and I thought they might be just for Boyesen Rad Valves and I don't have one installed.

If you dont have the rad valve what do you have? the delta?

 

[JEEPUSAURUS]

Your bike came from the factory with the rad valve, thats what they all came with until just recently.

 

[GMP]

The RAD valve that was OEM on the pre '05 GasGas gives you a few options:

1) OEM GasGas dual stage reeds

2) Replacement dual stage reeds for a Honda CR250 RAD valve, which is the same as a GG RAD valve with the exception of spigot angle.

3) Carbon Tech single stage replacement reeds for the GasGas RAD valve.


I liked option #3 the best, as I felt it boosted low/mid a bit. Carbon Tech is now owned by Boyeesen I beleive, so this may no longer be an option, call and find out. http://www.carbontech.com

Change the rubber carb spigot boot while your at it, also available from Boyeesen, cheap.

Best thing is go to a VForce with the '05+ manifold.

Thanks for the info. Although I have owned and ridden bikes for 45 years, this is my first Gas Gas. I have only had it for 3 weeks. I now know that I have a rad valve. Does it already have two stage reeds installed from the factory?

 

[Cruiser]

It does have two stage reeds,, but if factory reeds till, they are not CF and they most likely need to be replaced. If you have the cash,, change out to a v-force,, if not go with the CF boysen reeds..

 

[Grampy]

Here I go again, I don't see Gas Gas listed on the v-force web site. Which one do I use?
Thanks!

Just a clairification, my 05 de250 has the Boysen reed cage and a spacer, what is the purpose of that spacer?? I was thinking of switching to the v-force for a boost in low end power, i've sent the head off for squish mods and am ordering a gnarly pipe to replace the fatty. Any idea on the use of the spacer?
