[QUOTE="snowflake, post: 217488, member: 152"] you most deff do lose some power with the stainless steel valves but the main thing I hated was it did not build revs as quickly, which to me, for what I was doing, was important. And they do tend to hammer the head and destroy the seats, but in the 2 years I ran mine like that it never happened, I think its a viable solution for someone who just trail rides and doesn't want to spend tons of money fixing the thing. In the campfires at the desert races I know of a couple 4 valve yami's that are beyond the 200 hr mark and are on their 1st valve adjustment, if that. To me if you want a used bike that won't be taking a huge gamble on things the manufacturer could have screwed up, its gotta be blue, especially if it has valves. There are some others from Kawi and KTM that are very good, but where as an 09 kx was great 12's liked to split cranks. I mean, the first race I went to this season someone had a brand new CRF450RX, it came back into the pits on a tow strap behind a utility quad with chunks of the case missing. I'm sure someone will be a long shortly to correct me and tell me how I wrong I am so I guess I'll add the in my experience clause here [/QUOTE]
