Soon... I am still at work, at the office. As soon I get home I'll upload them. Stupid thing was the hanged up the Scooter up and it was not easy to see what was installed exactly. Carb? Frame mods? Tacho? Speedo meter?

    Burial Pipes  Burial Pipes wherever you look  And here something else. Left a "todays, normal" Jog intake and right a 3YK "older" Jog model intake. Look at that hole size difference. I asked the staff for a measure to measure the hole distance to see if I could use it on my Jog but unfortunately it was a no go. |

The 5bm motor uses a different intake bolt pattern than the normal jog because of the angled Reed block

moofus02Yeah, you're probably right. The reed block size of a 5BM is larger and therefore it needs a larger intake. This shows how much more power the old Jogs could deliver and why. spaz12That Jog is a real race Jog it has all the war scars. I asked how much they want for it but they said its not for sale.  I would love to get that swiss cheese inner panel that looks crazy. Too bad they had it hanged up and not standing on the floor.

The 5bm Reed block I had was huge and had a factory suffer in it

While we are talking about reed blocks. What kind of shape of reeds do I need for that 5BM type? The one square type or the almost separated 2 type? Or do I have to cut them to look exactly like the stock ones?   |

I don't really know. I don't have one of the engines I just picked up some parts cheep. I was after the stator and flywheel. I think I sent the Reed block to old geek. It had the factory reeds in it. Maybe 190mech could chime in with an opinion

I just looked for those reeds and I don't even find them. But I was searching Minarelli 5bm reeds. I also looked under the jog section at scootertuning and didn't see those.

Maybe I can cut those one piece square shaped ones to match the stock ones or I need to get a carbon sheet and cut them out of there.

Looking at carbon sheets there are all kinds of types available.
Thikness: 0.25, 0.30, 0.35, 0.40, 0.45
Which one is the recommended thikness? Or which one is close to the stock reeds? Which maker is preferred? Polini? Malossi?
I don't need really performance from the reeds I just want to avoid damage to the engine if the reeds should break off.

Reed thickness is a topic I haven't figured out yet. I think I read somewhere that cf will wick and fray. If o remember correctly you seal the cut edges with super glue? Not sure but someone will jump in with the answer

For simplicity sake, I would just get the nice block webbike has for the 5bm. I completely understand why you want to get rid of the metal reeds in the stock reed block. However I feel using carbon fiber reeds with the stock reed block creates a problem. My theory is the carbon fiber shatters on the edges due to being slammed on the hard stock reed block. I feel using a rubber or Viton reed Block with carbon fiber or fiberglass reeds is a must. |

See if webBike will give you a deal on 2 of the reed blocks and you can send me one!  |
