What are the best turbo reeds to use

[glenn]

Just to make clear - These are only the Arctic Cat reeds. I have heard of no issues with any others. Hopefully, only minor design changes will be needed.

Glenn,

We just installed them on two turbo sleds. We have one ride on them. How soon does the problem show up? We are waiting for back-ordered 1000 reeds.

However, these are not the same old grades of steel reeds that were used on sleds like the old Cat ZR700's

zr700's were piston port motors, NO REEDS.

My apologies...I should have said the old '88-'91 650/700 Wildcat's. I have a set around the shop that I picked up for testing.

Furthermore, the '94-'95 ZR 700's "DID" use and have reed cages, look it up, including Wildcat 700's from '92-'97. The old ZR700's were a cylinder mount reed and I believe the cylinder actually had to be removed to gain access and yes they still were a piston port engine.
