reeds

[banshee rider 909]

i was wondering if reeds on my banshee stay just a tinny bit open will it afect the way my engine runs and in what way?

well let's put it this way, at normal opperating conditions those reeds are opening and closing between 5,000-10,000 times a min. a little gap wont hurt it.

cool thats what i figures but i tought it might affect my take off

yeah. some reeds you can turn over, if they are stock reeds i would recomend replacing them with a carbon fiber reed or something else.. really nice reeds they are

and your propably looking at it when its bone dry...the crack propably gets sealed with mixed gas when the reeds are closing.
