Description
Reed Valve Spacer 5mm CBE Minarelli horizontal (Yamaha Aerox and many others) by French tuning expert C. Bouchet Engineering (CBE). The spacer is placed underneath the reed valve to add more volume to the intake tract. The spacer was made using a high-end SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) 3D print manufacturing technique, with a laser sintering fine polymer powder particles to create a very resistant part. The spacer is resistant to hydrocarbons (fuel etc.) and high temperatures and has excellent sealing properties.
The spacer is placed underneath the reed valve block and will increase crankcase volume and, as a result, performance. We recommend to use spacers like this with tuned engines - we're talking 70cc and more. Great in combination with a V-Force3 reed valve.

What is a reed valve spacer?
The reed valve spacer is an aluminum component that is placed between the crankcase and the reed valve. It is often used on 50cc 2-stroke scooter and motorcycle engines.
what is the function of a reed valve spacer?
Adding a spacer under the reed valve increases the height of the block, thus increasing the volume available in the engine block. In addition, the spacer causes the boost ports of the cylinder to be flowed freely, which can improve gas flow and performance.
It is important that the thickness of the spacer matches your engine setup. As a rule of thumb, the larger the displacement, the thicker the spacer. Since every engine is unique, you'll have to experiment a bit to find the right thickness.
Note: When installing a reed valve spacer, it is critical that the engine is properly sealed, so it is best to use new intake gaskets or engine sealant.
