I'm thinking about putting Vforce 1 Reeds in my 98 SRX 600. The sled is stock besides long travel and ripsaw track, what are the pros and cons of putting them in? Also I was told for these I had to put spacers in, are they costly and do I need them? Any help and input I would be thankful for.
original vforce 1's would be a aluminum block reed, if they are a gray plastic they are vforce 2 and install nothing extra, vforce3 are black and require a spacer to be used with them.
the reed spacers are pretty cheap if you need them.

They are the 1s, their aluminum. Whats your suggestions. Will I need spacers and should I even put the 1s in. I trail ride in northern michigan and ride more towards the aggressive side, would I even notice the difference? I was also thinking about just buying Boysen pedals for my stock cages, good idea or bad? I'm not a real high performance guy, so could I even tell the difference between the boysen pedals on my cages and the Vforce 1s setup?
honestly, NO, you wont tell a differance too much, maybe some better throttle response but the slight power increase they offer on a stock engine, the $$ is better put into something like clutching. The stock reeds are pretty good. You can add aftermarket petals to them, and usually they offer differnt tensions for differnt riding styles, again, youll mainly just notice mainly throttle response. Those vforce1 reeds you have work very good in a modified engine where you need the increased airflow to feed ported,big bore etc. cylinders and case.

I've been around snowmobiles my whole life (only a short life so far at age 27) but by no way am I very well schooled in engines or clutches, I know more about suspension setup than anything else. If I decide to clutch where should I start? I would like a good hole shot, I dont ride lakes or fields often, I mostly ride curvy narrow trails, into one corner and back out again. Any more suggestions?
I have repaired alot of srx600's but never really spent any real time dialing one in, they were just known for the cdi boxs goin bad. Aside from running aftermarket clutch weights like heel clickers, the person who I would ask is Turk, he has set them up before and would be able to guide ya with good solid information that will work and you wont be wasting your $$ on parts that dont perform.

Thank you so much for all the honest opinions and help. Looks like I'll just buy some boysen reeds for the stock cages, and I'll get ahold of Turk for some clutch help. You have been a huge help ever since I've bought this sled and I truely thank you for that.
