I have an 85 250R, It has been bored 0.20 over with a ported head, LRT head pipe and FMF silencer. the carb is origional as far as I know, and I have no clue what size jet is in it.
Anyway.....
The question I have is how do I know if I have just reeds, or if a rad valve has been installed. I dont know much about either so any help is appriciated. The bike seems to run okay, but bogs sometimes at WOT. I would like to replace the reeds as a precautionary measure anyway, even if thats not the problem, but not sure what I need to do this. Are there different sizes??? Best brands??? If I have a rad valve (what is this anyway?) will that matter as far as ordering new reeds. I'm sure for you experts I probably made myself look dumb with this thread, but as some of you can probably see I don't know anything about reeds and what not. Thanks in advance for any help!!! ;)
Oh,....I use it mostly for trail riding, no racing or dune climbing or anything. not sure if this matters. :wondering
ooppss.....1 more thing..... How often should these be changed??? is there a time frame, or just when the go bad??? How do I know if they are bad??? Thanks again!
