I have been using std OEM valves for the last 3 years,but they only last about 60-70 hours and then I have to replace them. Is the Kibblewhite Black Diamont valve any better? Do I have to change the valve-springs to? I have never changed my exhaust valves,not even have to set them,Only the intake valves wears out. Give me the good and bad on them.

i just installed kibblewhites on my 08 ltr and they are doing good so far but i only have about 10 hours on them. and you DO NOT need the spring kit unless if you have a big lobed cam. (stage 3 cam)

hey I'm having my head rebuild an the best valves to go with I think are the titanium valves the cheapest I found them for was $110-$118 on ebay just my 2 cents:D

titanium valves get exspencive quick if you dont have a buget limit yeah go fot them but with titanium valves sence they are lighter than stainless steel valves meens they require difrent valves springs and all that kind of stuff. and $110 is cheap for titanium valves but remember you onlget one valve for that $110... no buget go for it less weight the motor has to push=more power

Genuine Suzuki valves are titanium,Kibblewhite valves are stainless. Nobody made my decision easier. So is the original Suzuki the best??

for most woods racers and average riders the stainless is a better valve since it will last longer. the titanium valves will put out a better hp rating but is unreasonable to the average guy. the difference wouldnt even be felt unless you had a full built motor to go with it. i have the kibble white in mine and have had good luck with them
