Reed Valves
|
Other than obvious chips out of the corners or evident splits,
what's the best way to tell whether your reed valves are worn? I
figure since I'm close to them now I might wanna replace mine if
necessary. Can I re-use the intake gasket if it appears okay?
(Normally I'd just install a new one, but stuff like gaskets can be
hard to find for my '85 model). Thanks guys!

I don't think Chad Reed has to do his own valves.
And valves don't have corners. They supposed to be (mostly) round.
I think I'd prefer Carmichael Valves if I had a Suzuki though.

There should be no gap between the reed valve and the reed cage. If there is
then they should be replaced.

Kewl, thanks Rick!

I make my own gaskets from stock that I buy at the local auto parts store.
Try to keep the old one intact and trace it out on the new gasket material.
Cut the outside with scissors and the inside with a zacto knife.
