Just bought an 01 GP1200R with 54 hr.s First time on the lake over the weekend it ran good for about 15 minutes. Checking the plugs, center cylinder the electrode was completely closed. I replaced the plug and since it ran fine, I ended up running another 3 hours. (I know not the smartest thing but.....) After reading posts regarding the power valves, I checked mine and sure enough the center valve cannot be seen. The pin was just laying in the housing, but the valve is no where to be found. I checked the compression and they are all 130- 135.
Anyone know where the valve could have gone? and moreso, it looks as though it didn't damage anything... so far.
What is the procedure for updating the valves, the "how to's"
I am thinking I may have been extremely lucky this time around and don't want to go through that again.
Any help??
