I went to install a V-Force reed valve in my 2000 CR-500 and it doesn't sit all of the way in there is about a 1/16" gap between the valve and the cylinder. Upon measuring the valve at it's widest point it measured 81.2mm while the opening in the cylinder measured 80.2mm. I spoke with Moto Tassinari this morning and they said they have never seen this problem before and that the reed opening on the cylinder must be smaller then normal thus causing the problem. They sugessted to file the side of the cylinder down to make the vavle fit or file the side of the cage down. What do you think about this and does anyone here know what that opening is supposed to measure?
Thanks,
