BOYESEN Reed Petals for OEM reed valve for BETA RR 50, RIEJU MRT 50 and APRILIA MX 50, RX 50 1995-2024

The BOYESEN BOY720 set of reed petals is designed for APRILIA MX 50, RX 50, BETA RR 50 and RIEJU MRT 50 from 1995 to 2024. 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.

• Made in the USA.
