    Help - RG50 Boyesen Reeds

    -

    Help!!!

    I need a set of Boyesen Dual Stage Reeds for my RG50. Does anyone have a set or two they will sell, or anyone know where they can be brought?


    Or almost as good, does anyone know the Boyesen part number for RG50 Dual Reeds?





    Thanks.

    erm dude, unless I have missed another update to the MNZ rules, but boysen reeds are 'competition parts'. We used to find some fibreglass sheet & cut it into shapes, or find something road based that used fibre & cut them down.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    or the pipe piston or radiator I just dont know how it would all fit on a mb100 ????
    hang on rg50 into rs125 frame ???? now I wonder how that would go

    I seam to remeber that you have to still be able to ride well dam it

    There it is. A carb is part of a motor.

    I disagree reading the section above that I have pulled out, a bit of a contradiction in the rule, me thinks

    For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

    F5 Thanks for the heads up. I had not thought much about it, just thought of it as an aftermarket bit for a road bike. If boysen reeds for the RG50 are excluded by the rules or general consensus then I will do something else. You kindly sent me some one piece reeds with that KX ignition. Many thanks.

    Someone better let me know. Are Boysen Reeds for the RG50 definatly in or out???

    If you read it in context it says that you can use any parts from any model as long as they are NOT competition parts.

    The reeds are no more illegal than a Makuni carb. Yes Boyesen make reeds for competition bikes, they also make reeds for non-competition motors.

    They are higher performing part than standard.....does this make them illegal? I think no.....go get em fit em and have fun. In my eyes no worse than using full on GP (RS125) bike parts.....but the rules are the rules and thats allowed.


    Its harder to lose weight than gain horsepower.

    no it says there is to be NO RESTRICTION ( it says you cant use {motors} or {transmition parts} )



    Engines must be derived from non-competition motorcycles. Motocross, Road Racing,Enduro and Go Kart motors and transmission parts are not permitted. There shall be no restriction on the make, type or design of carburettor, ignition, exhaust, piston, cam, valve springs or cooling system except for class eligibility.

    the sentance says There shall be no restriction on the make, type or design of carburettor, ignition, exhaust, piston, cam, valve springs or cooling system except for class eligibility.
    so I take that to mean "There shall be NO RESTRICTION"
    and buy NO RESTRICTION it means no restriction
    not restricted to non competition restriction

    when it says no restriction but restricted to I think it is to restrictive

    so is it restricked or is there NO RESTRICTION

    the sentance says there is no restriction on the make, type or design of carburettor
    so is it restricted or not
