[@seanashcroft9713]

Holly Shit!!! Muffler Bearings! Fuck thats funny!

[@notjoecheez1]

I have removed the reed restrictor plates from my bike before. It does work but the problem that eventually shows from doing that is the reeds start to deform slightly and stop making a good seal when returning back to the block. This makes your bike consume a lot more fuel then it normally would. The other risk is the reed has a bigger chance of breaking and going into the cyclinder which will make u have to replace the top end because the piston and rings will get damaged. Could possibly seize the engine as well. I had the fuel consumption problem and got lucky by replacing the reeds and putting the reed restrictor plates back on before they broke. All that being said, you do get maximum power from removing the restrictor plates. It’s a risk.

Hey brother I got a quick question if you don’t mind, I got a old 60hp Johnson and one of the sets of reed valves on the top carb is slightly open can I take the reed out and try to bend it back slightly? So that it sits closed it’s only open like a 1/8th inch or less, I can see like threw it

[@DIOSpeedDemon]

No, it wont work. The reeds have to seal tight with no leaks. Research and get a good set of reeds or boyeson reeds and replace them. It is a simple fix and happens all the time. If you have any holes in the reeds or can see thru them, they are shot and need replaced. You will immediately notice the throttle response and greater high end. Reed replacement is easier than replacing a air filter or spark plug. Try it one time and you can do it next time with your eyes closed. Good luck, RH

[@Bklundeen]

V Force Reed's come with their own housing if you look them up you would know that

[@AWDn0t2]

I know this is from 2013, however. I'd like to give everyone some tips, if they haven't been discovered yet. You want the reeds to be narrower than the width of the reed block. Not only will this ensure that the reed doesn't rub against the intake, it will decrease the weight of the reed, giving you snappier throttle response. Trim off as mush excess reed material as possible, leaving 1/32 of overlap. Removing the reed stop will allow the reed to open farther, if there is enough air flow, at the expense of shortening the life of the reed due to fatigue.

[@wesman7837]

Removing the stop is probably a good way to have broken reed chunks scaring up the piston, and cylinder.

[@empirecycleman355]

I usually find that the chrome muffler bearings do not have the lifespan of the higher quality nikasil bearings. Also when replacing said bearings it is advisable to use a proper lubricant for the carrot.

[@DIOSpeedDemon]

Nikasil Racing Cylinder Bearings cannot be beat and were originally developed to Power the American Space shuttle in its quest for breaking earths gravitational orbit. I would love to buy some, but they are made only in Iceland and extremely expensive to export. Also the customs permits are outrageous at this time. I am sure you have the same problem. Thanks RH SDD

[@DIOSpeedDemon]

I fully Concurr with your findings on proper bearing replacement and maintenance of said Muffler Bearing High Quality, mark 5- Components. RH DSD

[@AtimatikArmy]

Make sure you use yellow lithium grease for best nikasil muffler bearing performance. By all means, NEVER use synthetic muffler bearing lubes, the muffler will over rev and you will have a run away engine and eventual total melt down. If you can't find yellow lithium grease, it is ok to substitute with Vaseline instead as it is the only other officially acceptable muffler bearing lubricant that is readily available in the states.

[@RwP223]

Im sure in certai applications harmonics can also cause the reeds to over extend requiring the reed stops to limit travel and arrest the excitations.

[@MagicManTD]

This is a pretty good idea, the only problem i could see is if a piece of your reed broke off and got sucked under your crankcase (2 stroke) that would be some really BAD news. So if your gonna do this id replace the valve one every year or two.

Some people do not know this but, reed valves on 4 stroke engines are used because of the overlap and duration of the intake lobe on the cam, if there was not a reed valve there some of the a/f mix would come back into the carb.

[@mikemontgomery6765]

So to tune it as I understand from your video, I take it apart and look at it and put it back together?

[@DIOSpeedDemon]

+Mike Montgomery No, first you must align the dual chrome muffler bearing adjustments, till they track due east. All Reed screwed must be weighed, filed to the lowest weight and put in with the slots pointed toward the front of the engine and not anywhere else. This work must always be done on the first Tuesday of the month to provide the best Karma for optimal speed and power performance. The blue oval performance mat used in the video must be precisely 9-1/2 inches in diameter, (the exact length of my enourmous Johnson). Lastly you must pay more attention to the contents of the video instead of asking Stupid Questions....Then yes, you put it...back...together...Forrest Gump.

No insult or complement intended (just a statement), about the knowledge and the lack there of on reed valve design. We all need time to learn but good information from good sources is a must, might I recommend an S.E.A. publication, (DR. Gordon P. Blair’s book, The design and Simulation of Two Stroke Engines) learn the basics like reed block design flow area, realize how reed natural frequency effects design, understand how different types of fiber material and epoxy’s and reed thicknesses effect reed natural frequency’s and the performance of a given reed material, understand the relationships between design flow area and flow resistance, understand the effects of crankcase primary compression ratios and how they effect a given reed design ECT, and no you don’t need to be an engineer to understand this stuff you do how ever need to have good sound information, S.A.E. publications are usually a very good and trustworthy source.

Hey Oscar I know it has been two years since this initial post, however, is funny because I went to the exact same issues as you described there. I am riding an enduro GasGas EC 125 and after I systematically went through all the things I could have fixed like: changed the spark plug, changed the air filter ( I did oil mine :D ), cleaned the carb, checked if I get spark etc, the bike was doing the same thing: shutting off on idle and between changing gears. I was not aware of the reed valve then (it was like two months ago), however, the cause was the one I feared the most: low compression = piston needed to be changed. Is stupid how obvious some things can be and exactly what we fear most happens. Anyway... this was my story to the exact same symptoms.

[@DIOSpeedDemon]

Valentino- {very cool name by the way}, You make a very good point. My racing books say that the stops can sometimes limit the valve opening to full potential. On the other hand- With the valves flapping all over, they can tend to create a weak spot at the base of the reed and crack and snap off. I have tried both ways just to experiment and I find that the stops are better for throttle consistency at high speeds. I meant the springs instead of the stops. With the Boyeson custom reed material in my new reeds, it is like three times as thick as a normal off the shelf reed. Thank you for the kind words, Randy H

my Polaris 250 dosent have reeds but my cr80 dose and they don't have reed springs just stoppers and reeds

[@Bklundeen]

How about a Polaris 250 2 stroke it has no Reed valves what are you do there

[@DIOSpeedDemon]

I would buy a real quality company like honda and not Polaris for a start honey.

[@GR40RCapri]

I ported my muffler bearing for more power but needed to remove the reeds for more wheelie power in my 4 stroke. With them it wasn’t hitting the power band 😅🤦🏻‍♂️

DIOSpeedDemon I really apreciate your work im from India and if your dio was here it would be the fastest non geared bike ever.. Keep posting more videos.

[@DIOSpeedDemon]

Are Dios very popular in India? I ride alone all the time because there is so few mopeds of any kind in the Continental United States, thanks for the great comments, RH DSD

[@64maxpower]

the muffler bearing or directional fluid joke never gets old

[@DIOSpeedDemon]

Everyone needs a good laugh. We at work always send the new guy all over to find the Board Stretcher when our woood projects turn out too short....

[@skeptic9368]

You forgot to mention that you need a left handed snipe ratchet to remove the port side bearing in ALL 4 stroke dual muffler bearing applications.

[@DIOSpeedDemon]

A left handed , METRIc snipe ratchet , I have three on hand....

[@skeptic9368]

there is no substitute for hands on work on your own equipment. great videos.

[@DIOSpeedDemon]

Wait till you see my new Stroker video engine series, starting with ta bare SR 50 moped block and going step by step to build a massive 120 stroked out racing engine for your bike. Parts are on the way as we speak. Some rare and really really Cool. RH DSD

[@darylmcquown661]

[@WICKEDGIXXERL]

I was experimenting with this when i was twelve .on a 82 rm 125 simple concept

[@mizidetomatkriss6719]

[@DIOSpeedDemon]

Great point! In my Playlists , I have very Recently Catalogued all my videos on this Subject- Check them out !! thank you.... All Free!!!

[@karltaylor7378]

Remove the 4t cylinder head and cam chain and fit a 2t cylinder head, then fit a reed valve to the carb.
