Description
Malossi reed VL 10
From the Italian tuning experts Malossi: racing reed valve whose inlet cross-section and flow shape has been significantly optimized compared to the original part.
For 50cc scooters with Minarelli vertical engine (MBK Booster / Yamaha BWs etc.).
Performance increase with racing reed valve block
As the reed valve allows more mixture to flow into the crankcase, the cylinder filling increases, resulting in more power. In order to prevent pressure reduction in the crankcase, Malossi works with a vulcanized surface to optimally seal the carbon petals.
The Malossi VL10 reed valve should always be used in conjunction with a larger carburetor.
Reed valves for scooter, motorcycle and moped
The reed valve is an integral part of the intake system. It usually sits under the intake manifold.
How does a reed valve work?
The reed valve is usually V-shaped and is equpped with two blades. When the reed valve is opened, mixture will flow; when the reed valve is closed, the flow is significantly reduced. The flow is controlled by the opening of the carburetor slide, which controls the amount of mixture and affects RPM.
What kind of reed valve?
The type and shape of the reed valve can affect engine performance. Common types include the V-Force reed valve in a W-shape with 4 reed petals, and oversize versions with more volume than the original reed valves.
Adjusting the reed valve
You can improve engine output by using petals in different thicknesses, or by using a stuffer or a reed valve spacer. You can influence the mixture flow, which can affect the overall performance of the engine.
Note: When installing also change the intake gasket!
