Will the stock Valves hold up?

[Eyabusa]

Will new stock valves hold up to hotcams?

TIA

[Dr-ZnA]

Stock valves will do fine with hotcams. Or a BB.. But would have to consider better valves if stroking the motor..

[SupermotoHooligans]

+1 to the above, I've got hotcams with stock valves and springs. Only comes into play when changing to a more aggressive cam. (more aggressive than hotcam)

Thank you

I put Wiseco 1 piece stainless valves in mine at 16000 miles when i changed over to a M/T436 BB kit , now 37000 miles with no problems ?

get your self some rhc valves.the stockers will hold up for a while but will soon fatigue and then you drop a valve and well you know what happens then

How many miles before swapping them out?

I just broke 10K on my stock parts and I've been told I should begin to become afraid. I'm in "the zone" so to speak. Good to hear good things about the Wiseco stuff though. Assuming decent quality control/consistency, can't argue with that mileage. Can the Wiseco stuff be run with OE springs and keeper parts?

You should be able to. I am using Wiseco valves, Kibblewhite springs:eek:, and stock keepers.

Mike ?

Stock valves are adequate on a non stroker motor....

i have low mile oem valves in my b/b motor ... never had to reshim in 7000 klm of dirt use

[daffy67]

Still running OEM head except for Hotcams, 34,00klms and never had to reshim.

Once I get the RHC equipped head flowed it's going on.

Oh my gosh look at this kid. He's got KW stuff in his Suzuki 400 motor, and he's trying to pull it off. Who does he think he is? Some kind of god? ?

Cut me a little slack.....I did it before i was fully educated on TT.

I figure you can't F up a spring to bad.....or can you? Knock on wood!

It's been 3 years hopefully i'll be o.k.

I have re shimmed once, when i put in the HotCams. I switched speedos, and don't recall exactly how many miles i have on. I commute to work 16 miles each way.

[jimmyhoffa]

I'm pretty well sure the danger lies exclusively in the super-fail of their valve design. I know that "a spring is a spring" is definitely not true, but KW has delivered several other good product lines (just not DRZ valves) so there's a decent chance they got it right.

I only switch speedos when I poop myself after doing a scary trick, I don't really go by mileage.?
