What is Fill Power?

FAQ
Fill Power is a measurement of the quality of down products. Fill power is determined by placing 1 ounce of down in a glass tube. It is compressed, the weight is removed, and then the down is allowed to loft for 72 hours. The space the down occupies is measured in cubic inches. Down comforters with a higher fill power are lighter, fluffier, and warmer than down comforters with less fill power. Once the down has been separated, cleaned and sterilized, it's sorted by fill power.

Can I put later model Valves in my Earlier Bike to reduce power valve problems?

www.rgv250.co.uk
The VJ21 engine is fitted with 2 piece valves - this means one piece stays put, the other slides up and down. The VJ21 valve does not use the vertical pin, so doesn't suffer this problem. However, since the VJ21 is the oldest of the RGVs, natural wear and tear can still cause power valve failures, so it is best to inspect them frequently. The VJ22 and VJ23 engine uses 3 piece valves - two parts of the valve slide.
