What do they do? is it just extra reeds in there in a w configuration that helps air flow or something? Does it give you better power? I've just seen some on tardme for my bike for $100.

Supposedly redirects the airflow (via its aerodynamic shape) more directly into the crankcase to stop the (heavier) fuel particles from flying to the edge of the intake charge and separating out. Used with Boyesen carbon reeds but is a separate item (basically a whole new intake manifold). You have to rejet a little leaner. I didn't really notice any effect from mine but I guess others may. Boyesen had some pretty impressive looking dyno results on their site. Snake oil?

rad valves are pretty old school, V force is the go these days, they have twin sets of reeds (2 v's)
both require rejetting, and to be honest i would not bother,
do you need more HP?
Forum whore
Not really, just wondering what the deal is with them.
Bike Whore, I'll ride anything
I put one on my 97 KX250 and liked it and would buy one again.
I did not have to re-jet and it smoothed out the power band and gained a bit more everywhere.
And the bike was easier to ride because of this.
Feel the fear and do it anyway
Don't confuse education with intelligence.
There are alot of highly educated idiots out there.
now where's some dirt!
I'm confused. Are you guys talking about reed valves? Or are rad valves something completly different?

cheese an easyer way to get more power from your bike would be to open the throttle a bit

a rad valve is a aftermarket reed valve,Originally Posted by k14

reed valve or reed block?
"If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

You can or could just buy reeds.
Most buy both as a set as they work better.
I have a long winded Vid about them in between MX races.
The block has vanes in side it to help with flow and is a bit strighter to also help with flow.
If I buy another two stroke bike I would buy one again as they impressed me as a good thing to get more and even power.

LOL Cam you would probably beat me on a CR80.
I don't think I need more power as at ardmore the other day my bike was wheel standing on most straight anyway.
Booom - Thanks for that. Bastard......
