Aftermarket reeds provide better throttle responce and a more crisp feeling throughout the power band.
They are really easy to instally.. ALl you need to do is remove the carb and intake manifold and your reeed cage will be right there next to your cylinder. Just slide it out and there are screws on it that hold the reeds.. Take off the old reeds and install the new ones...

do u have a toque wrench bud? this is critical so u dont end up with an air leak and blowing a top end, u need to torque the reed cage bolts to 6 ft lbs, or if u trust urself by hand, 6 ft lbs is just over hand tight, get it to the point where its loose thenscrew it in with ur hand as tight as u can and it should only need like 1/2 spin and ur ready to go

save the money for the reeds and buy a clymer manual instead, then when you get the money for the reeds again you'll have all the knowledge you need to install them right the first time, just advise, not bashing, a manual is worth more than any bolt on you could buy, if you don't have a repair manual for your quad, you should either have a shop do the work or not own a quad.
