I reached out to Race Tech to clarify this, I think you have your gold valve installed upside down in this video? Per Race Tech the larger ports need to work with the compression stack, i.e. "large ports face down" as the instructions say.... It looks to me that in the video you have the intake side of the large ports facing down?? I may be wrong here, it is hard to tell in the video, but also at 8:29 the video points out the "larger ports on this side" when looking at the side of the valve where oil enters the valve, not the side of the valve where it seals against the shim. The sealing surface is the important surface here. Technically both sides of the gold valve have both sets of ports, the difference is which side allows oil to freely enter which set of ports and which side of the valve seals a set of ports against a shim stack. Anyway, from my conversation with Race Tech they told me we want the larger ports to work with the compression stack so the side of the valve that has the raised/sealing surface for the large ports (they actually described them as "six" ports vs three ports, not large vs small but same difference) should face down at the compression stack. Hopefully this helps somebody out there.
Does it make things wet? He keeps calling it a dampener (something that makes things moist) and I believe it's called a damper because it damps movement, usually transfer of energy.

This will help me get mine together finally, thanks guys!
Excellent video!
Thank you very much!
Big Thanks 👌👌👌👌
long time no see
It’s worth upgrading?

Aaaaactually, "dampener" can also mean "a thing that has a restraining or subduing effect".
I got damper from honda but where can i Get instalation kit so I can put on my yz250f 2015?
Great video! But it’s pronounced Damp-Er. Stop calling it a dampener or dampening device…it doesn’t make anything wetter lol!
