Here is the story. I tore my motor apart to get it built on Jan 13, figuring that that would be plenty of time for my motor builder to get my motor parts in and my motor finished. I ordered the sparks 690 kit, minus his port and polish which my builder was doing. He said that sparks had everything in stock but the cam which should take a couple weeks. He was also trying to get new intake valves, which were also backordered. Now here it is 7.5 weeks later and sparks still has no cams, and no one has intake valves. The first national is 10 days away and I am going nuts. I have had no bike to practice with, and to top it all off my PEP shocks which should have been here 4 weeks ago are still not here. If anyone knows anywhere that has Intake Valves in stock (aftermarket standard size or bigger, or even factory yamaha) please let me know.

Thanks

Call Ferrea Valves, they are about the best you can get. I know Trinity uses them for their oversized valves. I talked to Ferrea, but could not locate any standard valve for the Raptor. They could however lookup what Trinity has ordered and sell you the same thing or if you have a service manual with all of the stock valve specs they can match that up with a current valve. I didn't get too far because I am not a dealer. If your motor builder is a dealer then he shouldn't have any problems getting the valves. Hope this helps.

Thanks for all your help you guys, but I finally found a set of valves. Sam Coe performance had a full set of one mm larger than stock intake and exhaust valves. At first he said he was out of them, but then I got a call about an hour later and he said he found a set.
