leggins Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 hi ive just been out today for the first time since fitting boyesen reeds in my rev3 . at first there was a noticable difference mainly on hill climbs. there seemed to be loads more power. After a couple of hours solid practice the bike started to lose power as if the clutch was slipping. I may have developed a clutch problem I did also notice the bike smoking quite alot ( yeah I know take its cigs away ha ha ) . I was wondering if anyone had had simular problems. could this also be a over heating problem ?? cheers Leggins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betarick Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Did you keep a eye on the spark plug as the new reeds could be making it run 2 rich! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 (edited) What a difference power is up by 10-15%. The overall performance increase is good - a bit of an eye opener on the first few sections I was caught of guard and paid the price. The jetting is standard as too is the needle height, all that's been done is the air screw has been turned out one whole turn as instructed. The carb has also been drilled to stop it leaking. I'm very please with the results and for Edited June 3, 2007 by spud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 My 04 rev 3 now has boyeson reeds and re-jetted carb. It is so much better. hard to stall, more responsive at low revs and smoother at high revs. Probably the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
