Valve float question

[dbudree]

Hey guys,
Building a Ruckus for my 14 year old and having an issue burning up the intake valve. We have just over 1500KMs on the bike and we are soon to be replacing the intake valve because it keeps hammering it’s way into the head. I’m sure my son is revving the the living daylights out of this thing causing the issue. I have already replaced the head, valves, seals, higher lift Cam, CDI upgrade, intake and exhaust.

Has anyone come across a stainless steel valve and/or heavier valve springs for the GET motor?

Good on you for building them something cool.

Here's a link for some titanium valves. They're lighter weight so they close a little faster than stock: www.rollingwrenchdenver.com/products/honda-ruckus-titanium-valves-performance-mnnthbx

And if you think they're revving the "edit profanity" off of it slap a single wire lawnmower tach on the thing. They're like $20CAD on amazon and are well worth the money for tuning.

Enjoy!
