Nobody can really answer that, they claim change them yearly in a dirt bike, racers change them more often. Reeds can warp and become useless, depends on the quality of them actually. I can't believe they want $38 for replacements that are that tiny, mine are at least 3 times that size and $30...check and see if smaller bike reeds will fit that thing, yz80 reeds are $10

i told DDM and he said i shouldnt have to replace them at all ??? and yeah its 38bux EACH for those thin plastic square carbon fibre thingys lol

We have sold many, many TS cylinder and case reed systems, and only a handful of replacement reed petals. They last a long time.

Reeds loose their flexability and do need replacing, it's just when does it occur? How can you predict it with a engine thats new on the market? Specially turning high rpms, I know plane engines last many years without reed replacement but they also run half the rpm, so who really knows?

ryan@ddm

Of course they need replacing, depending on use.

As to the "new on the market" issue, you have been misinformed. DDM has been selling TS reed crankcases and cylinder reeds for more than four years now.
