THE BIKE STARTS BUT SHUTS RIGHT OFF AND THIS IS WHAT I FOUND ONE OF THE REED PADELS BROKEN OFF..I FIGURE TO MUCH AIR GOING IN TO THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER N THEN THE AIR EXCAPE BACK OUT CUZ ONE OF THE PADELS IS BROKEN..ALSO R THESE REGULAR VFORCE REEDS? THATS ALL IT SAYS ON THE SIDE OF THE PLATE!!!
those are v-force 2's, because it has the screwed on reed petals, the vf3's went to a pinch style petal retainer, because the 2's had a reputation of spitting a screw into the cylinder, so be sure to use some loc-tite when re-installing them
and heres the maker of v-force reeds, mototassanari
check this website, or give them a call for the petals needed, the vf2 petals have become hard to find on ebay, but oconnor told me they hooked him right up when he called them

haha wow. Some people may consider me anal, I flip out if I think I have the wrong oil or my clutch plates arent in spec, and I bend down and put my ear next to the motor just about every time I ride and ask everyone if they "hear something", I feel panic coming on just looking at those pictures.
