Anybody got a set of gold valves from racetech fitted in their forks? I will be servicing my forks with new seals and oil and was thinking of throwing in a set of there G2-R valves along with all new bushings. Looking for feedback before i spend my parts money on something i may not notice. My riding is fast street with lots of wheelies and 1 weekend a month of amateur track racing.

I know of two people who no longer have their superdukes who had the racetech gold valves and they really liked them. Worthy upgrade

Do you mean the little bleed valves that screw into the top of the fork?

I have had both the KTM ones and now a pair of other ones that weren't the bling orange type but I can't remember what make they are.

Honestly, not sure as to the worth of them at all. After a track session they do let out quite a lot of built up compressed air - like a psssst sound.

Do I feel the difference when they are discharged or feel the negative results if I don't let the air out?

No.

But it's a good little sound
