BOYESEN Reed Petals for OEM reed valve for YAMAHA YZF 250 2003-2009

On YAMAHA YZF 250 from 2003 to 2009, the BOYESEN BOYPW-38 set of reed petals fits in place of the original part. The reeds control the intake of a two-stroke engine. Over the hours, the petals tire, split or fray at the tips: the engine responds less well to the throttle and is harder to start.

Key features

• Designed for Boyesen reed blocks.
• Made in the USA.

When to replace it?

• Weak pick-up at low revs, hard starting.

Inspect the petals at least once a season and at every piston change; replace them as soon as a tip is damaged.

Fitting tips

1. Remove the reed valve block and clean the cage.
2. Fit the petals the right way round and tighten the petal screws with threadlocker to the recommended torque.
3. Check that the petals sit flat on the cage before refitting.
4. Refit with a new reed block gasket.

Do I need to re-jet?
