    I remember having seen recently some news regarding V Force intake and manifold for a 430 1987 which should work much better than the original.
    But when I need something as always I dont find it....
    Any help please ?
    Thanks

    No. They are not the same. The version that we sell for the Single Shock bikes is different and it comes matched to an appropriate manifold.

    If you don't have one - there is not much point in having the other - unless you are prepared for a lot of work to get things to work right.

    Also, if one of the reasons you are changing is that you are replacing the perished rubber reed block adaptor - just buying the reed assembly is not going to fix this.

    Hope this helps!

    Yes, I noticed from your pic that someone has made your bike a new flange.

    Nice job too....

    86 400 XC, how did the power change & what kind of re-jetting did you have to do if any?

    No rejet, had them in 2 of my motors so far.

    I took out boyesens in the 400 and tried the V force.
    It has better low end and the power gain in the mid and top end was easy to feel.
    The 400 was a bit rich before the swap and does feel better with the V force reeds.

    In the 87 250 the low end grunt was off and i stalled the bike enduro riding way more than normal.
    The midrange hit hard and pulled real hard up top and made it too pipey for the bush.
    Would be a great power curve for a motocross.

    on the 87, the lack of low end was before or after the v-force? or both?

    After the swap.
    I did put the stockers back in, the bike was back to normal.

    Yup..

    The 250 can crawl real nicely up and over stuff with out clutching it, just like a 400 does.

    86 400 xc,

    Do you have the V-Force part# by chance? I should be able to order them direct. I already have the works style intake.

    Thanks Jim
