they should not be sitting up off the reed cage at all !!! maybe try to flip em and see what happens but i doubt it.
I got boteson pro's for mine ..I like em but v force is better..I ordered my v force last week and there on a two week back order...ugggggg
 
I had some that looked like that, ran fine, but they werent sitting that far off the back. Like Daniel3877 said, I'd flip them and try it. I got Boyeson's in mine, they are fairly cheap, stock ones are really cheap, But Vforce would be the way to go for performance.
 
i just want this bike to run good in midrange thats were she does all her ridding at she wont even hit a powerband yet... is there two types of boyesen reeds? power reeds and stock right.. ohhh and i did flip em runs a little better at least doesnt bogg untill it stalls now.. .
 
cory...you do allot of "laughing your ass off" ...dont ya !!!
you need to realize that not everyone has the $140 dollars to invest in v force reeds. were trying to help him fix an issue, not just spend money
 
i think so...thats what i have and have been happy with em for a while, they will give you a bit more of a crisp throtle respons..IMHO
v force is def better, but like i said they are about 140
 
you will apprecate the vforce reds if you semd the extra $$$ on them. they really help in throttle response.
 
mr305 ...I still believe its a jetting issue..hows the plug color look? Is it black/wet or white/ashy? Did you figure out the needle position? Whats the main?
 
see im lost on the needle thing when i pull the slide the needle only has one place it can go.. so you dont think the reeds are bad?? see i done know crap about carbs everthing looked clean.. how do i know what the main jet is ??
