This head service includes: Fastheads KX450F general MX head service, seat profiles cut and a Kibblewhite steel valve kit installed with heavy duty chromiumvanadium
springs. We remove the old valves, soda blast away carbon and make a complete inspection. The seats are machined using our race proven Rottler SG7 seat and guide machine. Old school methods of seat grinding do not work on these new high RPM heads. New valves on worn or improperly machined seats will wear out extremely fast. The head is then assembled and vacuum tested for quality. We can also adjust the valve shims for another . Send your head in for inspection prior to purchase. Fill out the work order on our web page.
We suggest this package for trail and none competition riding only. Steel valve kits reduce the power by 15% due to the 40% heavier valves and springs. We offer complete high performance packages with Chromium Nitride PVD coated Titanium valves in our ebay store for ONLY 0 more.
Most KX Motocross heads should be serviced every 80 hours or less for peak performance and reliability.

High RPM small valve stem Motocross motors required specialized high tech valve seat machining equipment and skilled machinist in order to cut a concentric seat. Most dealers, mechanics, race shops and automotive machine shops do not have this capability. The result from a poor seat cut is hard starting, valve stems break and extreme wear on the valve face and guide.
We highly suggest staying with Titanium valves vs the installation of aftermarket heavy stainless steel valve kits that reduce output by 2hp, slows acceleration and peak RPM. The use of Stainless require heavy springs that prematurely wears the stock seats. All new dirt bike heads are designed to use Titanium for these reasons. The seats need to be professionally cut (part of this package) or they will wear out any new valve. 7
to 10 day turnaround.
Machining Process:
Heads that produce this kind of HP, RPM and high thermal energy need special machining with very close tolerances for perfect concentricity. We use the super accurate race developed Rottler SG7 seat and guide machine and cut all seat profiles with perfect concentricity to the guides centerline. There are only a few race shops around the country including Racers ER / fastheads.com that can properly do a valve job on these new style MX heads. You may want to read our article in Thumpertalk under engines to better understand the in these heads compared to general automotive.
Seat Blending:
This is basically porting where it is needed the most between the bottom of seat where it meets the casting up to the guide. We take special care in producing a smooth unobstructed port job in this area for a lot better flow than factory.
Seat and Guide Replacement:
Beryllium Copper for increased cooling and major anti wear qualities when used with Titanium valves. We replace worn or broken guides with Bronze Manganese for the same reasons. It runs 9 to replace all guides and seats and cut seat profiles in a bare head. We can usually fix for around slightly siezed cam journals and lifter bores for .
If you what to maintain maximum power you have to use Titanium valves as originally designed. All current motocross engines use Titanium Valves for this reason. If you have decided to go with steel valves and heavier springs for economical wearability you will loose more power than you can gain back from porting and cams.
If you want a complete port and polished head we charge another 5 when done in conjunction with the above service.
