Default reed valves for VF3

What would be the best reeds for more low end torque for my '08 300?

When GASGAS introduced the VF3 reedvalve on their bikes it turned out to be very disappointing compared to the VF2 set in low tension mode. I took my VF3 out after three rides and replaced it with my old VF2.

The VF2 in low tension mode gives the GG250/300 smooth low end power without sacrificing anything on top. I really disliked the way the VF3 made my EC300 run.

The special configuration of the V-Force reed valves do not allow any other reed petals than standard V-Force issue to be used, as far as I know.

The VF2 allows reed tension to be adjusted whereas the VF3 does not. The VF2 has to be adjusted to the low tension setting or it behaves just like the VF3. The VF2 broadens the powerband with no loss on top. The only minor drawback is that the reed petals wear out faster in the low tension setting.
