    Valve springs???

    Putting my head back together and noticed the inlet and exhaust valve springs are not the same. Which is which? the softer ones have a dab of yellow paint on them???? Had alook in the manual I have but that info isnt there.

    Inlet valve springs have blue paint mark.

    Exhaust valve springs have yellow paint mark.

    And if I remember rightly the exhaust valves are softer springs.

    It was my exhaust valves that had valve bounce when I over reved by Beat.
    so presume a softer spring would cause that.

    Another bit of info you may need to know.

    Valve stem seals have a coloured spring round them.

    Black spring = Exhaust valve

    white spring = Inlet valve.
