Valve sizes over the years

Hi all

Was thinking of getting a head with bigger valves in my current 06 SuMo race bike. The easiset way seems to get an older head but I'm not sure what years had what sizes....

The spare parts manual says that 04 and onwards has 35mm inlet and 30mm out.
After searching this excellent site I found out that the 03 had 37mm in but nothing about the out size. Does anyone know??
Does 01 & 02 have the same size as 03??

Is it alright for me to order the older stock valves and make them fit my 06 head or should I look for another make of valves? Titanium sounds great but way too expensive...
 
oh great leader why does one need to ask us mere mortals!

the sizes are in the doc:
35 to 27: lineaweaver recommends a 30mm exhaust. i used a cut down 30 to 29 and that way kept the same seats.


BV head was 37 to 30 (used these valves on the SV head exhausts)
exhausts increased to 31.5 - 32mm. i bought some 32s of dale that are slip coated. they fall out of the guides.

if there is one thing that i really take care to be in the doc it's this...

regards

hi there jocke
my 01 650 has 37mm intake, but i wouldn't recommend putting those in ,as the steel quality is crap.they last me about a year & they are very expensive.
i got 2 ferrera stainless blank valves turned down for mine part number f0174.cost me only $40.00 ea + time on the lathe.time will tell if they are more durable.should be...
steel & stainless steel are heavy valves.37mm valves weigh 48g ea.
what you gain in extra flow,you may lose in, throwing extra weight up and down.
i priced up ferrera titanium blank valves for mine.$180.00 ea,here in oz.
i'm thinking titanium for power ...stainless for durability.

hope this helps ..weed..
 
All 100mm bore engines from 2001-2003 had 37/30mm valves. The exhausts can be replaced with off the shelf, 32,5mm valves from Grössewächter. That´s what I´m running in my #2 engine. The #1 engine is fitted with 40/34mm valves. Take a peek in my gallery if you're interested.
