BOYESEN Reed Petals for OEM reed valve for GAS GAS TXT 250, TXT 280, TXT 300 2002-2016

The BOYESEN BOY6TR121 set of reed petals is designed for GAS GAS TXT 250, TXT 280, TXT 300 from 2002 to 2016. In a two-stroke, the petals of the reed valve block open to let the mixture into the crankcase, then close to stop it coming back out. Tired or chipped petals don't close properly: the engine loses bottom end and sharpness.
