How do YOU install a reed spacer?

[Saul]

No - I'm not asking how to install one per say - in fact I just slapped one on my 250R.

What I'm asking is this - do you install your reed spacer before the reed cage (ie: engine - then spacer - then reed cage - then carb boot) OR do YOU put yours after the reed cage? (ie: engine - then reed cage - then spacer - then carb boot)

I've read you can install it both ways - the former gives you power throughout the powerband while the latter gives you a bigger 'hit' down low.

And for that matter - what is everyones opinion on reed spacers? Worthwhile mod?

Yeah - I stayed with this way. I tried both but found a more noticable 'gain' this way.

[DeePa]

ive never noticed any gain, it just increases the crankcase volume a bit. its one of those small mods that combined with other small mods will make a larger difference in the end...but not a lot by itself...


THeyve come with the intakes that i buy, so if i paid for it, might as well RUN IT
