Super Jet boyeson reeds how long should they last

[BruceSki]

the fiberglass ones last longer than the carbon ones. They will re-seat onto the cages better. The carbon ones wear out pretty fast.

How do you know when your reeds are going bad without taking apart your motor and looking at em?

You get a lot of back-blow through the carb and it runs poorly.

So I'm assuming this is something that will happen slowly over time, but what kinda "poorly" running cues should I be tuned into so I know what to look out for?

If the ski has to crank a little more to fire up even when warm and if you have issues trying to dial in the low speed or not being able to obtain a smooth idle.

Copy. So idle basically goes to crap. Good to know. Thanks man. Will there be any noticeable changes in conditions when on the throttle?

I have never seen a metal reed break on a yamaha.
I only use v-force reeds in engines I build. I have found boysen to wear out way to fast for the dollars spent
