Yes mate... It is hard to say without seeing the reed valve but I guaranty a dodgy reed valve will make running and tuning the bike a nightmare. Your reeds need to seal perfectly and open and close about 2-3 times a second so if any cracks, holes or damage to them then they will never seal correctly which will allow blow back through the carbi and incorrect air and fuel mix to be sucked into the motor. best solution buy a V force reed kit it replaces the entire cage and reeds just bolts in (4 bolts) I sell them for about $160 delivered, or if your know what you are doing then you can just replace the reed petals with new... About $60 ishwww.motoxpartsonline.com

SOURCE: does th reed valves cause the bike not too turn on

if you mean not to start they could. a reed valve is simply a one way valve that captures the air fuel mixture in a two stroke motor forcing to go into the combustion chamber rather than back out the carb

Does a ***** boy 50cc have a reed valve? Bike

Hi first thing what is the bike second thing is the engine a 2 stroke, if it is 2 stroke it most prob. has a reed valve, check that the carb needle valve is working as it should, then drain the cylinder and crank of fuel check the plug sparks, leave the carb off and put a small amount of petrol in it, try and start it if it fires once or twice, then it should start with the carb on it, if not there is a problem with the carb. good luck.

Hello, I recently purchased a 1973 Suzuki TS 185. The bike turns over and starts right up very easily. When the bike idles I can rev it and it seems to work very well in first and second gear. However,...

Check for air leaks. You probably need new crank seals and a new intake manifold. Check your reed valves if you have them and do not hold the throttle wide open if it is bogging you will score the cylinder by running it lean.

I have a 1990 suzuki rm 125 starts first kick, but boggs alot, every once and awhile power band kicks in and it runs good. I checked spark good and blue, checked reed valve in good shape. pulled head...

I'd start by thoroughly cleaning out your carb.,...check/replace the main jet with a leaner, [higher #], jet...change/clean pilot jet also,..spray carb cleaner in all holes and blow out w/compressed air. Re-check your float height and/or any damage to the float pin+tangs etc. Maybe try a 50:1 gas:oil mixture. Perform a leakdown test,..air will cause boggs as well. *[p.s.; does bike blow oil out exhaust?].

92 yz 250 hard to start and woulnt full accelarate

i may be wrong but it sounds like your bike has either,a dirty air filter(this would explain the bogging out in the midrange) or a bit of crud in the carb,check the tank filter(the one that is incorporated in the fuel tap),then get the carb off and give all the jets a good clean out,it only takes a small amount of dirt in the fuel system or carb to seriously affect performance,while you have the carb off,take off the inlet manifold that holds the carb,remove the reed valve block and check the condition of the reeds(if you can see daylight through the valve seat)ie between the reed valve and the base block,the reeds may need replacing,this may also explain your hard starting,as the reeds need to fully close against the block to get the right amount of air/fuel through to the crankcase,.these bikes generally go like a rocket so it will only be something minor which is stopping you enjoying it to its fullest..hope this helps

Kx 125 reed valves

The reed valve assembly should hold solvent withot leaking. Remove for test. Disassemble and clean reeds and reed seat. Perfect seal is very important.

Good luck,

Carb problem

You have an air leak that is making the fuel mix too lean. Probably intake manifold gaskets. Other sources are reed valves chipped, deformed or broken, cylinder head gasket not fully sealing and crank seals gone bad. Your bike is 20 years old, I don't remember if your bike has reed valves.

The dealer is not going to have new parts. google " suzuki motorcycle parts " and " antique suzuki motorcycle parts "
also google " motorcycle salvage suzuki ". This should give you some sources for parts.
