86-88 KIPS Valve material
I was wondering what the 86-88 KIPS valves were made of. I know the 86 KXs had steel valves 87 and 88 were aluminum. Was this the same with the KDXs? Thinking about picking one up in the future.

C models have steel valves. My bike has had one top end done since it was made in 1986. The KIPS was really in there with gook but no wear at all on them.
