Looking for reed advice...

[SledKitten]

I have a 2010 m8 all stock except a speedwerx can. It's at around 3000kms and I'm thinking of changing the reeds out. Any advice on what works best in this sled with no other mods? Vforce, boyesen, or to just stick with stock arctic cat reeds? I'm looking for better throttle response and seems to lag a bit when holding the throttle open while climbing.

I always preferred Boysen reeds to V-force, the v-force used to crack petals really bad, boysen reeds seem to last quite well

I would stick to the stock reeds.

I am running a turbo and the stock m1000 reeds seem to be the most durable.

You could also use Tony Doukas reeds. This is what I use on my M1000.

I have boyesen. Seems to pull harder than my buddies with the same sled, and I had to go up a couple grams in the clutch. I put them in after the stock reeds fell apart and took out the top end.

Boysen work great, but they are 3/16" longer then stock. have to trim the air box tube to allow for room. If your willing to spend the dough they are worth it. Plus later if you add pipes or big bore they will work even better. I have boysen reeds, slp intake, speedwerx muffler, ceramic coated stock pipe and pc5 controller. I got the pc5 just to clean up the mapping,now im ready to pipe it, just need the dough!! lol

I run boyesons in my 10, sled seems more crisper with them.
