Yamaha - Reed Valve Assembly - Intake System Component - 60V-13610-00-00

Overview

Reed valves are one of those parts you don’t think about until the engine starts acting up. I’ve worked on Yamaha motors that lost that clean idle or had a lazy throttle, and worn reeds were the culprit. This assembly controls how the air-fuel charge enters the engine, so when it’s off, everything feels off. Replace it, and the motor usually comes right back to life—smooth, responsive, and steady.

Key Features

• Controls Intake Charge – Regulates airflow and fuel mixture entering the engine for proper combustion.
• Genuine Yamaha Fitment – Built to factory specifications for accurate sealing and reliable operation.
• Restores Smooth Operation – Helps eliminate hesitation, rough idle, and inconsistent throttle response.
• Durable Reed Construction – Designed to handle constant flexing and engine demands.
• Direct Replacement Design – Installs easily with no modification required.
