BOYESEN Reed Petals for OEM reed valve for YAMAHA YZ 80 and KAWASAKI KX 80 1986-1992

The BOYESEN BOY630 set of reed petals is designed for YAMAHA YZ 80 and KAWASAKI KX 80 from 1986 to 1992. 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.
