There has been a LOT of discussion lately about different types of reeds and what can be done about increasing flow without decreasing reliability.
Most people blindly fit $135 V-force reeds on their quads thinking that's the best it can get and while having more petals seems like it would increase flow, the cross-sectional area inside the V-force reeds seems rather small. They may open quicker but they may also not flow as much as even stock reeds
Then there's the option to fit CR125 reeds into stock cylinders by shaving down each side of the intake area paper thin to get CR reeds to fit inside of it. I did it to my Vito's BBK cylinder and blew through the side and spent many more hours repairing the damage.
There is a third option but it's really for a banshee. IF banshee reed blocks and blaster reed blocks are compatible (which I BELIEVE they are) this is an option:
Thunder Products - Performance carburetor and clutching for snowmobiles, motorcycles and ATVs.
