sectionone Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Does it help? I've heard people say it's useless and they wire it always wide open. If it at least helps reduce unburnt gas at low rpms that would be good. If it's totally useless can the parts be removed to save weight?

lee harris Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I have a 95 section which I stripped and rebulit. The power valve was stuck open. I have tried the rebuilt engine with it running (connected) and with it wide open and I am convinced it helps. The Powervalve only opens (when connected) at fairly high revs so removing it would loose you low end straight away. Couldnt test it on a dyno though... In most cases the cable seizes which is why people then think the powervalve does nothing. If you want to test the effectivness make sure all is free and working propoerly HTH Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
original Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 i rode one for fantic uk and never had it fully wound open as it was to quick, by todays standards it probably alot slower than the modern bikes. when it was new it made quite alot of difference wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
