Kibblewhite intake valves are a great upgrade from your O.E.M. motorcycle valves due to their superior performance and outstanding reliability. All KPMI Black Diamond stainless steel valves are impregnated by a special German process to a depth of 0.002", with a surface build up of 0.0002". This "Black Diamond" process improves wear properties, reduces friction, and provides resistance to corrosion and wear that is superior to chrome and nickel electrolysis plating. Each valve is designed using Finite Element Analysis software, and profiles are tested on Kibblewhites computerized flow bench. Black Diamond Valves are light, strong, one-piece forgings with profiles that provide excellent flow characteristics and will outlast titanium valves.Detailed Specifications: Type: Valve, intake, Black Diamond. Material: Stainless steel. Quantity: 1. Head diameter: 1.418" / 36.00 mm. Stem diameter: 0.2155". Tulip: 20. Overall length: 3.210". Remarks: Standard head diameter. Notes: Kibblewhite valves are sold individually. You must use KPMI Spring Kit 60-60700 when installing Black Diamond valves.

Don't buy the expensive junk!

"These valves are built to exact spec. They fit great and after i broke them in i haven't had to adjust. Don't use without the spring kit, they are heavier than stock so you need the sual springs or you could have a broken spring."

The Pro Taper Pillow Top Lite grips are covered in small square cushions (pillows) which give the riders hand extra support and comfort. The Pro Taper Pillow Top Lite grips are made of a custom Kraton rubber compound which provides a super-tacky feel and great glove traction. The thickness of the Pro Taper Pillow Top Lite grips provides excellent vibration dampening which will aid in the resistance of armpump and hand fatigue. Pro Taper Pillow Top Lite grips fit any standard or oversized handle bars for motorcycles and ATVs with a twist throttle application.

"These grips are great! I tried many and will stick with the pillow tops. They make me feel more in control of steering and i don't feel as much vibration."

How do steel valves compare to titanium valves? Will they last longer than titanium?
these do on account of the special coating

What is it about the steel valves that requires the spring kit?
Why can't the stock springs be used?

I don't have to machine drill the head for these vavles right?
i would replace the valve guides, and seals. all you need is to do if your contact area on the head is swithing spec and in good shape is grind them in and you're good to go.

Just the valves?
If I were to only get new intake and exhaust valves and not the springs too, would I be able to run them with the stock springs on my 08crf250r? I dont have the money right now to get the springs too, and my springs are still fine. Thanks.
i wouldn't do it.... you could end up spending a lot more money in the long run if you use stock springs. they might last a little while but they aren't strong enough to handle the increased weight of these valves and could break.

Stock valve springs
I have stock valve springs and want to run these kibblewhite valves on my 2008 crf250r. Would it be ok if I ran these with my stock springs? And are oem stock springs titanium or stainless steel? I am a beginner also
i would reccomend using the kibblewhite kit but you need spring stronger than stock because they are heavier than stock. typically any dual spring would work.
