Moderator Airhead Posted November 8, 2010 Moderator Posted November 8, 2010 is the power valve working, some people disconnect the electric cable to the PV motor and fix the thing fully open. When this is done you would find the bike very bad to ride unless the revs are high and you get an 'all or nothing' type of performance Remove the PV pulley cover and see if it operates properly when the motor is revved.
