    Power Valves

    Any thoughts on this?

    Two cylinders, same make and model bike, same part # cast into them, identical in all ways but one. The one in the first picture has a 3mm hole above the exhaust port and the second one doesn’t. I always assumed that hole was there to keep positive pressure on the power valve to keep it from fluttering, but why wouldn’t the second cylinder have the same hole? I have no reason that hole was put there by anyone other than the factory.

    Did some reading....

    Seems if you were having a hard time kicking these over you could get the dealer to drill a 3mm hole 10mm above the port and it would act like a decompression valve without adversely affecting the performance.
