REED VALVE

 

Think of a reed valve like a carburetor, bigger valves with large flow-areas work best for high rpm power bands. In general, reed valves with six or more petals are used for high rpm engines. Reed valves with four petals are used for dirt bikes that need strong low end and mid range power. There are three other factors to consider when choosing a reed valve. The angle of the reed valve, the type of reed material, and the petal thickness. The two common reed valve angles are 30 and 45 degrees. A 30-degree valve is designed for low to mid rpm and a 45 degree valve is designed for high rpm. There are two types of reed petal materials commonly used, carbon fiber and fiberglass. Carbon fiber reeds are lightweight but relatively stiff (spring tension) and designed to resist fluttering at high rpm. Fiberglass reeds have relatively low spring tension so they instantly respond to pressure that changes in the crankcase, however the low spring tension makes them flutter at high rpm thereby limiting the amount of power. Fiberglass reed petals are good for low to mid power bands and carbon fiber reeds are better for high rpm engines.

 

Boyesen Dual Stage reeds have a large thick base reed with a smaller thinner reed mounted on top. This setup widens the rpm range where the reed valve flows best. The thin reeds respond to low rpm and low frequency pressure pulses. The thick reeds respond to higher-pressure pulses and resist fluttering at high rpm. A Boyesen RAD valve is different than a traditional reed valve. Bikes with single rear shocks have off-set carbs. The RAD valve is designed to redistribute the gas flow to the crankcases evenly. A RAD valve will give an overall improvement to the power band. Polini of Italy makes a reed valve called the Supervalve. It features several mini sets of reeds positioned vertically instead of horizontally like conventional reed valves. These valves are excellent for enduro riding because of improved throttle response. In tests on an inertia chassis dyno show the Supervalve to be superior when power shifting. However these valves don't generate greater peak power than conventional reed valves. Supervalves are imported to America and sold by Moto Italia in Maine.

Just helping a fellow fren promote his services..

 

RIDE FAST & LOOK HOT!

u gotta ride fast n look nice n clean at the same time..

dirt, carbon, grease n wat nots can cause extra weight lowering ur speed n may affect ur stability.. :D so the solution is........ wash ur bike often!!

can cLean timing chain or not? heh

nvm then......no point if i explain.....

 

y not? compression is the engine and 2 stroke engines work the same way right?

 

and also prob others out there mite wanna know abt their 2stroke oso..

 

so pls share ur wisdom.. :D

another question frm me..

 

Wats the diameter for the original carb...?

 

Wat u gain using Mikuni 24mm..? (i undastand its bigger)

if u can get the same acceleration n top speed using the original carb..

anione can explain..

thks..

Posted

with proper tuning n setting of course can get better pick up n top speed.. if not why they make.. :D

but other parts play a part too in improving it.. mine only gain better pick up.. top speed around the same.. coz i lazy to keep do the setting of jets n stuff.. have to b patient n keep testing out..

The reed valve topic is solved.. Thanx bro for sharing tis solid info.. :thumb:

thks..

Original carb is 19mm if i'm not mistaken.

 

By using original carb uses less airflow from e mouth and

Smaller end diameter so e power wont go extend or beyond

Bigger carb. The bigger e carb is, the more Power u get

Provide that u get e right setting of course. Try an error is a must.

 

So what's e point if carburator companies invent a bigger carb

But produces the same power as smaller carbs.

 

P.S: becarefull when using stock carb especially when

Revving full throttle for a distance. Your piston may jammed

For insufficient gas.

 

This is my point of view.. Tried n tested. :goodluck:

the pwk28 carb work well on the sp. but need to change the needle to a richer one if not will run lean

True.. Good pickup but no top end.

Mikuni TMX, Koso PWK & Uma (local) carburator have

Special features eg. POWERJET. This little thing can give

extra boost Like a reserve M/jet helping each other for

Certain high revv. It will activate when u reach mid to

End. I guess this invention is superb for speed hunger.:smile:

 

Anyone knows about this carbs, feel free to share your info.

mukuni produce a power jet set. i bought and install on my TM carb last time. But the kit can't get locally. i think there's a formula for the jet calculation when using power jet ....can't remember how many percent

Dat means u really sacrifice your TM carb.. :thumb:

*Uma racing - POWERJET

true, supply extra fuel for extra boost..

so far its good on 4stroke.. try n tested on Yamaha spark135 n x1r.

even Tuas circuit riders are using it..

on 2stroke still not sure.. need to ask ard abt it..

 

can possibly purchase it at JB (lor bapok)

comes in 24mm, 28mm, 32mm, 34mm

tag along wif a set of jets so its easier for u to tune it.:thumb:

Should test it on 2stroke. Heard "Jacky Turbo" fixed UMA racing 28mm on his bike. Maybe can ask him abt the result. I'm very particular abt sparkplug burning color. :)

Maybe I should ask him personally.. Hope he's not busy at his workshop. :sweat:
