Yamaha - Reed Valve Assembly - Intake System Component - 697-13610-00-00

Overview

If your Yamaha two-stroke starts feeling sluggish or doesn’t respond like it used to, the reed valves are one of the first places to look. The 697-13610-00-00 reed valve assembly controls airflow into the engine, and when it’s working right, you get that crisp throttle response back. When it’s worn, you’ll notice hesitation and rough running pretty quickly. Swapping in a fresh OEM assembly brings things back to how the motor is supposed to feel.
