I don't know why the audio got messed up, but I'm done messing with it. How to prepare your stock intake manifold for VForce 3 reeds if your intake has rubber tabs on it.
I just received a set of v 3 for my cr500r Not real happy that i have to butcher the manifold rubber. Also, these carbon petals aren't really sealed at the tip. Up to the light and gaps everywhere 👎
@@tikkabrno from what I've heard, it's ok if they don't seal completely when looking through them, when the bike is creating a vacuum that pulls the petals in so they seal up nice and tight. I wasn't super happy about cutting up the rubber either, but I couldn't find stock Reeds anywhere, so I got the aftermarket cage mostly for lack of stock parts.
Great video 👌🏻 finally exactly what I was looking for! Thanks much
Finally… I’ve been looking for this forever..
Great idea and thank you .
Video was just what i needed, doing this to my 98 cr250
Great Vid looks like a razor blade can do the job as well, But yes had to sand it down a little bit.

Great! What I'm looking for
I have a 1995 CR250 that I restored. What is the advantage of going with the VForce3 reed? Thanks!
Did you use any sealant when reinstalling the intake manifold back to the reed?
No, I just used a new gasket, I believe the reeds came with the gaskets needed.
@@mischiefhoodie5201 just opened my new vforce 3 reeds for a cr500. No washers or nuts. Tight arses for the price I paid here in Australia 🙄
