I recently bought a set of boyesen reeds off of ebay for the yt60. They are part#674, I went to install then and the instructions say to eliminate the stock reed stop plate and use the rev plate, but if I do I have no way to srew the reeds in. I called boyesen and they said that the part# is for a pw50. The correct part#for a zinger is #605. Has anyone else experienced this. Is everyone just running the stock reed stop with the reeds? ANy info will help

Thanks Denn

I used the pw50 reeds. I eliminated the reed stop and used the little bar across the top and no problems. A big improvement over stock worn out reeds. I hope you bought your dg nationals pipe and are using the large opening exhaust gasket too.

HEY DUDE! Glad to see you around again. I was wondering what happened to you. Are you back from Iraq? We really must get out and ride somewhere.

Hi chris whats up, I have been down in nyc for a while. Haven't been around for a few. I'll take you up on that ride just let me know. Also the problem I am having with the reeds is that the little plate that came with them is not threaded. So how do you secure the reeds? The stock reed stop is threaded so I am assuming that boyesen should have there little plate threaded too. I know a bunch of you guys have zingers, I am trying to get this ready for my son and any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Denn

You have me thinking now, but I'm pretty sure mine used the stock large opening gasket that you can get from the yamaha dealer. I have to ask the guy that bought my zinger. I don't remember mine coming with a gasket. The dealer offers 2 different gaskets, the small hole opening which governs the engine down and the large opening gasket.
