Well I am sure it got sucked in, grinded up and blown out the pipe.Originally Posted by ceaserthethird
Had to tell if it hasn't caused damage unless you take engine apart and inspect.
At least it wasn't a piece of metal that got sucked in there!

They're probably Boyesen reeds which come in either fiberglass (clear yellowish/green color) and carbon fiber (black) varieties. Pick up a a new set on ebay or your local parts guy and you'll be in good shape. As for damage, I agree with Crackshot but damage if any will be minimal as the whole piece didn't blow through at once, the hole wore through the reed over time.

Go for the Boyesen Pro Series reeds (carbon fiber) model #PRO-44, $50 +/-. They're about $20 more than their standard reed but are more responsive. You'll probably need to rejet, but if you follow their instructions you'll have no problems.

As far as your forks are concerned, I would check to see if maybe they haven't just twisted in the clamps. I have had that happen before (lucky) and thought that the forks got bent, when in reality, they just twisted a bit in the triple clamps. I found the best way to check non-obviously bent forks, is to take them apart, and roll the upper tube on a true surface. If you want to get really anal about it, you could set the upper tube in v-blocks, and check with a dial indicator. I would also check your tire diameters, as mentioned. They can be adjusted some with air pressure. The harder the surface, the more the tire difference will affect you.
