Rmz450 valves?

[kfxguy]

Ok, I found them for the 05-07 rmz450 which all specs seem to be the same. I'm gonna see if web cams has both the z400 and rmz valves in stock. If they do, I'm gonna get them to do some measuring to see. I'm wondering if the keeper groove is located different.

Note what I'm looking at is TITANIUM and what you linked to was regular steel valves.

So they have to be the same. It's also listed in the last pic for the ferrea part numbers *****note***** drz400 only is listed in the ferrea chart...but they ARE FOR SURE the same as the z400 because that's what I'm running now.

Totally missed that you pointed that out already. Viewing on my phone so its a little hard to read.

If I remember right weren't you were spinning it up to 11,000? Why the ti though, just looking to lighten up the valve train, valve float issues, or are you going even bigger on the cams?

05-06 only works. I dont know why some places have rmz450 valves as 05-07 cause 07's are dif. THis is what u need Suzuki OEM Full Valve Kit 2005-2006 RMZ450 RMZ 450 RM-Z | eBay

Yea I noticed 08-09 was different. 05-07 looks to be the same. I was considering at least doing the intake valves, but after all the piston to valve clearance I'm a little Leary of it. I doubt titanium will bend it the piston hits one. I know the stainless valves will bend instead of break. I'm gonna do a search on it and see what the outcome is with stock seats. If I have to change them, well I'm gonna pass on it right now. I'm getting a spare head soon and I may just go all out on it and do titanium valves and the copper alloy seats. I'll also run a stock aluminum retainer with a fresh set of stock or lighter pressure valve springs. But that's another day.

Stupid phone

Just got off the phone with web cams.... Faith called kibble white and verified with their senior tech advisor and said the 05-07 rmz titanium valves WILL work. He said it recommended to change the seats but it's not mandatory. He said if I change seats, the valves may last a little longer. So......now I just gotta decide if it's worth spending $200 and doing them......
