wanting to know if there is a difference in kips valves between these two models? i have a 2001 and thinking of buying a set of bdk valves to have on hand for later but website says they're for E model bikes only. do the H models have the same valves and wear issues as the E model? tia.

E and H subvalves are different and do not interchange. The H series doesn't have nearly the failure issues, not that it hasn't happened, that the E's had.

they are not the same

older models have had more time to cake up and break

With e subvalves, time is not the predominant factor. I was basically replacing mine every year when I would open it up

Did you buy the bike new?

I see you have 454 posts, so you have been around for a while. I don't really remember seeing broken valves that were as clean as a whistle.

Well, I don't have an E-Series anymore (I've owned 3). But I definitely went through many subvalves, and most were replaced cleaner than my original still-working valves probably currently are on my H.

OK, thanks for the info.
