How to tell if your reed valves are bad

Many newer 2-stroke scooter motors have reed valve. Reeds will wear out over time. If your scooter has a hard time starting or has a hard time idling, you may need to inspect your reed valves. Here is the procedure. Please subscribe to our channel.

    I 100 percent agree replace them if they have a gap. if you are in the middle of the woods I need a quick fix then flip them

    Just buy new ones they are so cheep if u flip them it's like if u take a piece of plastic or aluminum and bend it in a U shape and then bending it the opposite way in to another U shape it will be malformed and crack also the manual does not recommend flipping them they are 20 to 45$$$ on average

    Had a nasty misfire when loading my 250r. Got to the dunes and it just wouldn’t start first thing in the morning. Had to dump fuel in it to start, after that it ran ok, sluggish low end power. Compression tested, 210psi @ 50degrees. Pulled the carb apart. Very clean. Pulled the reeds, and all 4 of the carbon fiber v force reeds were cracked and not sealing

    Thanks, just flipping the membrane is enough to make the bike going again,

    I think once they need to be flipped they should be replaced as they are reed fatigue and can cause issues at high rpm with hp drop off.

    Area open to mix flow in a R-V and cage system is better set at 90% of Carburetor's Venturi or out tube area. For low rpm operation, fewer, short Reeds of hard material do better; for high rmp performance, many Reeds, of soft and light material, and of a long size are the ones indicated. Yamaha re-started using this concept around 1978, and Vic Willoughby / Top Racing summarized their research. Pyramid patented a R-V cage having Reeds opening in the four sides, and not just in two as usual.
