Any suggestions on cleanening the valves if there really gunked up i have heard heat them with a torch. Figured i would ask i let mine sit in gas for a little bit but still cant get them clean.. video was awesome by the way thank you
That is bad news at 8 hours cleaning and having to remove the jug. I raced my 89’ and did a top end event 6 months and the big had full throttle and never had a power valve issue. Of course it did have a bit more power but I thought it was the new piston and rings and not so much the power valve. So that being said I ran about 60 hours in between pistons so it did run very well. I think Honda just wants to sell parts honestly. I’m gonna clean mine and polish it so nice that it will take a while to stick. I’ll make that surface as smooth as a babies butt
Richard Stremlow I know it’s an ok automotive product (maybe for a lawnmower) but I would never use it or recommend it for a motorcycle. It’s a much better idea to pull your top-end apart to clean it rather than use a chemical like sea foam on it.
Thanks mate!!!!! couldn´t find a way to take the valves out of the cilynder until i saw how you did it.
I run 40:1 in my 07 and it still shoots premix splurg out of the exhaust. I’m assuming my power valve is full of that stuff?
Can you do this on the bike?

Great tutorial👏 it's the same type of cylinder like on my Honda CR 125

Dayum, every 7hrs (acc to owners manual) Honda expects you to pull the bike apart to clean the power valves---ugh, what a p.i.t.a. deal...
What do you think of sea foam for keeping the power valve and carb clean.

Tommy Ady Thank you for your advice. I wanted to know if it could work as a cleaning agent. Sounds like it won’t do much at all.
Whats jeffs contact info? Maximum performance ok is nowhere to be found
Unfortunately his shop burned to the ground a few years ago.
Thank you
They didn't even show the inside of the cylinder well when assembly
