cmotodad:
Are the 88 valves different than the 89 up? Does 88 have the 3 kips valves?

88's only had the side drum valves...no center valve.
they are machined a little different too...88 and earlier there was an oval/oblonged shaped hole in the drum valves...89 and beyond where notched out on one side....if you look at a Kawie parts diagram you'll see what I mean.

86-88 are quite the same engines with the 2peace exhaust valves, except the clutch and countershaft- change in 88, that it makes to a little bastard-motor :wink:.
i found out, that there are some guys out there, who fitted a 89-2004 cylinder on a 86-88 bottom.
yeomans:
I've got an aluminum set with a broken valve.
I could probably donate a spare valve and pass some good karma on to you :-)
I've got brand new valves if your interested as well.
