Title: First post and its a reed question
Post by: Longtrail23 on March 30, 2010, 07:21:40 PM

I have a 2001 CR 125 and was looking around for new reeds. I want to get either the V-Force 3 or Boysen Rad Valve and it seems everyone has a different (and strong opinion) towards one or the other. 

What actually drew me to this forum was a search for this answer and I found an article from this website called budget racer on my exact bike which said the boysen had slightly better performance.. I cant figure out how to get the link up but I would love to know how it is known that it is better and who wrote the article?  Do dyno charts exist?

I have searched ALL over the internet looking for this info. and I need new reeds so I would really love to find out the real story.

Thank you so much if you can help answer this!!!

The reason I feel and they did that the radvalve was better, is that the stock intake boot is what has to be used on the Vforce. Thus, the major flaw that Honda did, isn't replaced.  I personally like to use the stock reed stoppers on the reeds of the radvalve. Meaning replacing the blue plastic stoppers and replace with the bent metal ones.  It will give the reeds more control.

One reason I will not use a V-Force:
