Can you clean a 2 stroke power valve without removing the cylinder?
(Note: Some power valve designs allow for cleaning without removing the cylinder but most 2-strokes require it.) The cylinder houses the power valves which look a bit like airplane flaps (see diagram). You’ll need to remove the bolts to extract the valves. But check your service manual before removal.
What’s the best way to clean power valves?
Some valves only install a certain way so jot down notes and/or take photos as you remove and disassemble. Once removed, scrape off any carbon build-up using steel wool or a stiff toothbrush then apply contact cleaner or other similar solvent (brake cleaner, gasoline) to finish the job.
Why do power valves gum up when not serviced?
Adjusting the valve enables you to increase power on the bottom or top end depending on your preference. Eventually, all power valves gum up when not serviced regardless of the quality of gas and oil.

What kind of power valve does a Kawasaki motorcycle use?
Honda equipped many two-stroke motorcycles such as the NSR125 and NSR250 models with RC – Valve power plants. Kawasaki uses a power-valve system called KIPS (Kawasaki Integrated Powervalve System) on their two-stroke bikes. The KIPS utilizes both alterations in port height, closing of the secondary port ducting, and a resonant chamber.
