what are the symptoms of a bad set of reeds?

reeds

my 09 m8 would only run on one cylinder but sound like it would try to fire when limping on the single - then Travis at OVS said it for sure the reeds- I pulled it apart and sure enough I had 3 pedals completely tore off. I replaced with m1000 reeds as that was recommended for the turbo and away I went- good luck on yours

i agree ray.... stack m1000 reeds and its running better than it ever has.

fyi, lost a day of riding on sunday from this, so I worked on it instead. Pulled the reeds, they were perfect.
Replaced them anyhow, then cleaned pv's, checked all other systems I could think of, then found the problem.

Had the ground wire for the attitude box cut. Spliced it back together & it was perfect again. Unreal how much time we spend looking for a 2 min fix sometimes!!!

Glad you found the culprit.....it certainly does suck about the quest to find the problem, I've had a few of those days this year!
