are these v2 reeds?
« on: March 10, 2014, 05:47:57 am »
I just picked these up on ebay. I think they are v2's. Does anyone know for sure. The listing said v3 bit I'm sure their not v3. I picked em up for a $100... was it a good deal?

Awesome, thanks that's what I thought. The ad says they we never run but installed and the quad had an electrical problem.

Does anyone know when V4's will be out for the 500?  I've seen a dyno between V3 and V4 on a Banshee and now want one.

I talked to moto tessenari when I ordered my replacement v2 pedals and she wasn't sure if or when it would be released.

pretty sure they only make them for the banshee and blaster. they might have a ktm model, but not 100%.
they need to make a v4 for the cr250 as some banshee jugs use that reed.

my cuz just bought a brand new ktm250sx and it had v force reeds on it from the show room floor.
not sure if the shop put them on or factory, but he has them.

Can anyone tell me why the V2s are better? I actually have both, recently decided to stick a set of V3's on my 90 lt250r. I really didn't notice much of a difference, I just liked the screw-less design of the v3s more.

actually i dont think they would make a set of reeds that would flow less air, if anything they make improvments on them,

The only improvement was no screws in the cage that could potentially come out and get eaten by a cylinder. To do this they had to sacrifice something which was flow rate and reed tension. The v2's are supposed to have snappier throttle response and a little more power throughout the curve very small increase for the Suzuki platform, from my talkings with moto tassinari.

i might have to disagree with you buck, there is no gain of power from the 3's to the 2's.. everyone is just hung up on the V2 reeds for some odd reason.
