These are pics of what came out of my bike.

NZ500:
Nice bike. Wow I see what you mean lol. I've got my one sitting here (handy having bike in bits in dining room lol). Great excuse to get a Vforce for your beast :D

Maybe it made him feel younger still owning a kx500 at that age lol. I couldn't imagine my grand dad on a scooter let alone a kx500, he can hardly walk let alone riding one of those

DoldGuy:
JB,
That valve looks like an FMF Ram Valve from the 250. The small hole you are referring to is called a stuffer which keeps the velocity high.
