The original Boyesen reeds that GasGas used in the earlier models were the RL-91 Power Reeds. I last bought them directly from Boyesen. https://boyesen.com/c66-replacement-parts
The Boyesen reeds for the 1998 Honda CR250 fit just fine as replacements, and we also used the Boyesen carbon fiber Pro Series reeds made for the '98 CR250.
(The reed block for the 2002 EC125 was different, and used Yamaha YZ125 reeds.)

The rubber boot (manifold) between the carburetor and the reed valve has a slightly different i.d. on each end, and is also a Boyesen product. It can/could be bought directly from Boyesen, or a dealer who is signed on with Boyesen.

When tightening the clamps for the "boot", be careful to not overtighten the clamp and distort the rubber boot. I tighten the carburetor end of the boot first.

Good luck with your bike.
I don?t really think mine is a Boyesen setup, online for 2008 it says mine should have a vforce setup but it doesn?t. The reeds I have seem to be made by gas gas unless Boyesen stamped GG logo on them. The Boyesen ones have 3 bolt holes unlike mine that have 2. I had a set of 1998 yz125 reeds that I tried and they fit but they were just a little to short.

I attached an image of the part diagram, I ordered the vforce pedals thinking my cage was vforce but my cage looks like the one I circled. It says it?s the 125 cage but then it also says the 125 cage is a different one that is smaller
