With Trials parts not being that freely available in South Africa I ordered a set of both Dual stage and Carbon Reeds from the States for my sons 2012 Evo 250. While the dual stage are better than the stock reeds the difference in performance did not warrant the price of replacing the stock reeds.In my opinion the carbon reeds represent the biggest power increase for the smallest outlay of money and give a far more aggressive power delivery from the bottom through to the top.After the initial testing we actually left the dual stage reeds in the bike for about 2months until the riders ability improved and then switched over to the carbon reeds which with the more aggressive power delivery obviously generates more wheel spin.The 250 has now been replaced with a 300 and the first change made to the bike was the fitting of the carbon reeds.

Hi Guys - this is my first topic although I've been a member for some time. In South Africa most riders are using ATF D 2 or 3 without any problem despite the fact that most events take place in temperatures well above 30 degrees C. Recently there's been a switch to Synthetic ATF (D6) which in my opinion is far superior in all respects over the mineral based versions. Has anyone else out there tried it?
