1987 kx500. Help?
Foxx4Beaver:
hopefully someone on here has one, that can help you out...other wise, I'd scour e-bay continuously on a daily basis.

I have an 88, and I waited until I could find a set of 86 valves on eBay for mine. They are steel and will last forever, while the 87 and 88 ones are made of cast aluminum and are prone to break just below the valve itself.
Tim short:
does anyone know if a newer style valve would work, I was looking on eBay and the rail that the newer style ones ride on looks the same.
Tim short:
I was also thinking i have the other one which i believe is good do you guys think i could get two new ones machined ?
umberto:
I tried to get a friend of mine to make me a new set. He is an experienced tool and die maker, and he said it would be very expensive. The newer model valves might work. Zz3gmc had a buddy that modified a set for his 88. I don't think that friend is active on the site, but you might try contacting zz3gmc.
