from my 1mth of riding, i realise that the more you don't whack the bike the more easy the valve breaks? issit true? i have 2 friends riding RS125, both of them always whack the bike.. nothing happen to their valve, i normal riding never exceed rpm 7 valve can so easily break??

I seldom go above 6.5k rpm and I have absolutely no problem with my valve. I have only changed my valve because some stupid mechanic broke it when he was removing it to wash. So I wash my own valve from then on since.

 

This has NOTHING to do with whether you whack the bike or not.

 

Your 2T settings may be too low, and hence, the carbon buildup may cause the valve to jam in it's housing. When the valve motor tries to open / close the valve, it may be yanking the valve a little too hard and hance, breaking it. Just a theory.

 

But you ought to check what is causing your valve to break so often.

Question 1) - What brand of 2T are you using?

 

Question 2) - What is your riding style? Mild, medium or aggressive?

 

Question 3) - Do you know if you are running too rich? What is your fuel consumption? This is also dependant upon your modifications.

 

Question 4) - What do you mean by your valve breaks easily? How many times has your valve broken so far? Where did you get your replacement valves?

 

Question 5) - How do you know that your 2T setting is running rich? Having to top up often does not mean you are running rich. You may be leaking 2T! (Just a theory.) Reason why I am saying this is because having to top up a bottle a WEEK is extreme. You could be running your bike on 2T instead of petrol! Hahahahahaha. Just kidding.

 

Do try to answer some of these questions so as to allow some of our members here to get a clearer picture of what is going on and to give you some advice that may be more applicable to you instead of giving you generic answers to your questions.

1) Motul 710

 

2) riding style? mostly, mainly relax.. never exceed 7.5k rpm

 

3) fuel consumption no idea.. speedo spoil therefore no odometer.

 

4) valve broke twice now on 3rd valve, replacement from FM(2nd hand)

 

5) 2t aint leaking, ah seng put it on the rich side.. but i go close it a lil now can last slightly a week+ rather than every week the red lights appear..

Haha.. No la

 

Khai leaves his no. online many times to help out newbie at his own time with no charge.

 

I'm irritated that ppl who want this free help still want to question on his experience.

 

What can i say, this man took 4yrs to upgrade to a class2A bike, and he still hasnt let go of his love for 2strokes! I guess that means he no experience la..

Valve break possible cause :

 

1) Carbon Build up and jam ur valve thus leading it to break when ur valve pull it.

 

2) Someone Itchy hand go pull ur valve spring. Spring too tight, causes it to break.

 

3) Ur valve spring too soft. Too soft, valve cable have too much allowance... pull n break.

 

4) Ur Valve cable adjustment too tight or too loose. Have it adjsted by someone who knows. ( mechs usually dont know how to, even when they claim they know. )

 

5) Ur valve cable might not be fixed back properly.

 

 

I know all these because I changed a lot of valves when my RS125 time n learn the hard hard painful way.
