Rejet with V-Force???
Friar-Tuck:
Hey 69er,
There have been several posts dealing with how to get the V-2's to fit, and they all had to be sanded down and cut to fit properly.
This (understandably) ticked off the guys account what they paid for the item and still had to spend an hour cutting and fitting the part called out for their bike. I'm looking for posts on the V-3 and will get back to you if I find any.
I can tell you I had the v-2's on my CR500 and had to do quite a bit of carving to get it to fit properly also.

alrighty i have to try to post some pics but anyway the vforce reed block has a emblem tab the says VFORCE on the TOP edge of the Block when installed on the cylinder. in reference to where that is and where the STOCK Block GASKET SURFACE IS SHAPED THE VFORCE EMBLEM TAB WOULD BE ON THE BOTTOM... the reed block can be placed in either way, but the way i installed it was the way the surface looked stock so the VFORCE EMBLEM TAB is actually ON Bottom, and obviously upside down. The reeds seem to work great though, alot better than my old ones. BASICALLY WHAT IM ASKIN IS DO THE VFORCE REEDS MATTER WHAT FACES UP?????????? IT SEEMS WHETEHER THEY ARE IN ONE WAY OR 180 DEGREES IT DOESNT MATTER??????...............................THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP.

Hey 69er,
This is one of the longer threads I found with really no definitive answer.

Never tried VForces on a MX bike , but I did add them to my Polaris snowmobile years ago. Not worth the money IMO. All's the VForce's did was add some crisp throttle response in the midrange. No rejet required.
