I went from a stock flywheel to a RAD charging flywheel and was amazed. Many choices brother but either way you are supporting the sport and that's all that matters
Other v-force 3,anyone run it?

if you are running stock carbs, aftermarket reeds of any kind , do nothing. i put V2s in my sxr a couple different times and pulled them right back out and sold them on ebay. WASTE OF MONEY. the only noticeable difference is your wallet is thinner.

Sucks for you. I put vf3 in my stock SXR along with aftermarket FAs, turned my screws open a bit and noticed a HUGE increase in low end. They were the first two mods I ever did and I'm glad too. Worth it.

some performance parts do nothing unless they are coupled with other performance parts. tiny carbs on a motor are not going to deliver any more air/fuel just because you put better reeds in there. the stock reeds flow all the air/fuel that the entire stock intake system can deliver. you do not gain any air velocity from the reeds themselves.

Listen to the Buzzard, no benefits will be gained from a/m reeds with stock carbs, stock intake and stock porting.

False. FA's help a bit on the bottom, but it is not that big of a deal. $250 is spent much better elsewhere.

When modding a ski, I mod every aspect of it. Some mods are more noticeable than others. Eventually Over time you will have/need every mod. Some people cannot notice any difference on mods and others know when their ski has the slightest difference in performance. Take this to the bank and smoke it.

My Yamaha had V3's. I am a firm believer that they don't update their product to be worse. The V3's are an improved design. Maybe not performance wise but there is improvements in how they are made to last and assembled. My 5 cents.

Indeed a true story. Nothing false about it. 250 somewhere else? Maybe a lightened flywheel. But almost every other mod will cost more than 250. All the aftermarket parts add up to increase the power. The v force reeds just make the ski that much more fun to ride. They are expensive but this sport is not for the poor.

They have twice as many petals that only have to move 1/2 the distance that stock reeds do at any given rpm. That is called throttle response

How's the throttle response on a piston port 550 with no reeds?

dry pipe, top loader grate and rear sponsons are the best 3 upgrades for the sxr. all the rest of the bolt on crap,that costs a lot of money , does not really add a significant ammount of power. cylinder / case porting is next and thats the key to power. a pipe and port work will create more power than a pipe and every bolt on part you can add.

This is exactly right. V force not only have to move half as far but they move with less tension than the boyesens or stockers allowing them to open quicker with less signal. V force are also less likely to hyper extend because the petals don't open as far. For any of you out there with the boyesen manifold reed setup take a look at the lower set of petals the next time you have your manifold out of the engine and see if they still seal. All of them hyper extend within the first 2 hours of run time. V2's or V3's are the favorites around PHP with the 3's getting the overall nod due to the 4 petal design and better transition inside of the cage. Gains from different reed cages wont be hugely noticeable till bigger carbs and port work.

We get huge gains on sxr's with a wet pipe, cylinder porting, case porting, and a little bit of added compression. The dry pipe is worth a little more power, but the headaches involved with it are not worth it imo. We just built one with the 3 mods above and it does 59mph on gps with great low end for rec riding. Someone else suggested lightened flywheel which is also good for throttle response because the sxr crank is heavy.
