[pete.ktm]

going to try TSS when they open but on the off chance they can't get any before sunday anyone got a set of reeds i could buy/borrow/steal???

2011 KTM 300 EXC part # 54830052100 REED VALVE SET V-FORCE

cheers

do they fit other models?

not sure, i would have thought they'd be pretty standard sizing. one site just has "REED VALVE SET V-FORCE 46X56MM" as a description. and you can get Moto Tassinari and Boysean versions for the v force 3 cage.

Looks like AFC in palmy can get them overnight so if TSS can't get them i'll go for a drive.

I realised I posted a direct link for 2001 ones. not 2011 ones.
Are you sure yours are VF3 and not VF4 cadges?

thought so, but i checked they had stock for my model.

yeah it's a vf3, if i wasn't in panic mode to get it here tomorrow i probably should have bought the complete vf4 replacement.

VF3's for the Hondas anyway flow better, I have no idea why but its proven in back to back tests.
I only asked as the mr Google and ebay parts cross referencer did not like the idea of a 2011 KTM300 having a VF3.

a few things i saw suggested the vf3 had design flaws that were taken care of with vf4. might do some more research then b4 i waste more $.

i think the US 300 xc model gets the vf4 and their 300 xc-w (our EXC) gets a vf3, or something like that. i definitly have vf3 stamped on mine.

Hopefully Sat delivery worked for you. It's typically hit and miss. 454 are fantastic to deal with.

yeah all good, just changed them and now waiting for the rain to stop before going for a run up the strret.

boyles warned me the saturday delivery sometimes comes monday and the AFC ones didn't turn up so i think i lucked in.

Top show. Glad you got 'em! I'm looking forward to getting back there. Nearly two months off work is doing my head in.
