    How long do you blokes(& blokettes) get outta ya petals? I ordered a new set(cheers oemcycle!) thinking they'd be toast but looking through cases they still look like new! 160+ hours now!!! image.jpg

    My WR300 from 2010 is still on the first set but they need to be changed ASAP, I will try to install a VForce4 reed :cool:

    Well, on the first eye-spot you notice that the 4 has petal stoppers while the 3 don't:

    But officially they's much more to it:
    They are not a direct fit for the Husky WR's, I'm still checking out how I'll do...

    I had a V-force on a 2002 CR250 husky. It needed spacer as the reedblock would hit the cylinder without. As such it pushed the carb back and the airbox boot got a hole rubbed in it from the shock. When I rebuilt the bike I removed the V-force and spacer plate and put t back to stock. Unfortunately the V-force added a good bit of bottom that is now missing. It was a very noticeable amount. I have learned to ride the bike as is but miss the additional power and am looking to get the V-force back on the bike at some point.

    125/144/165 guys is 160+ hours normal? I'd have thought with amount of revs they do they'd wear a lot quicker than that. Had to replace 300 petals at 200 hours & it would seem they're due again now at around 330 hours(2t oil pooling in airbox)

    My 165 is a 2010 and still has the original reeds in it that still look perfect !
    Started it up for the first time in over 4 months the other day and she lit up 3rd kick on the fuel that was still in the tank! Still rides perfect and made me wonder why I ever laid the thing up.
    Will be taking her out for a airing over the Xmas just t put a smile back on my face :love:

    The reeds on my 165 have @ 200 hrs and still look good, but I'm replacing them anyway.

    Fuel was mixed with Castrol A747 at 40.1 and was also topped off with the old mixed fuel that has also been laying for months, Bike never missed a beat all day long and still put that same old smile back on my face it always did!.
