Thread: Burned a valve....

  1. #1
    Had the bike tuned Friday, hit the track yesterday and got 5 laps and she was done..... Whole lot of money for nothing and now I have to tear it apart again after just rebuilding it a few months ago.

    Pretty sure I need Valves on the front cylinder. Anyone have reccomendations on what valves to get and where to get them?

    Thanks for any useful information.

    Pretty sure the valves are same as one of the big twin motors. I'll check tomorrow

    Did you do head work with your big bore kit? I would send them to Hammer to be worked over to compliment the big bore kit install. Are you sure it is bad valve? Were you still running a little lean up top?

    thats not giving us much info.

    a few pulls with AFR reading id hardly 'tuning'

    we're talking about changing displacement and no considerations were made for ignition???

    no wonder it didnt last long.

    id find a new shop.

    Love how you guys on here miss the point of the post every time... my question was about where to find the parts and what vendor might have the best ones to use in these engines.

    I didn't ask for anyone's opinion on why it happened or for advice on tuning so i wont be getting into answering the questions above.

    If someone has information on the original question it would be greatly appreciated.

    There was your answer.
    I believe they were trying to help find a solution to your problem so that after you purchased new valves you could avoid this from happening again.

    my intent wasnt to be harsh.

    i was hoping to narrow down a reason for not having to do it all a third time.
