General Two Stroke Talk / I must be a TOTAL PUSSY! Aaargh !!

OK, I don't HATE four strokes.... I have a Yosh built DRZ450 that runs like a raped ape and is uber-reliable....but I PREFER the two-stroke (I have a RD400F Daytona Special and a GT550 triple cafe project bike as well).
I was under the impression (without looking at a manual) that the RC valve OPENED the port which would increase power...similar to RZ350/Banshee valves.
Bike has very low hours on it...believe it or not the stock tires from 2002 were still on the bike and still very ridable so I don't think there is anything wrong reed wise.....though they may have stiffened with age.
I don't think timing is adjustable...
I'm a ripe ol' 43 years of age. I mostly cut my gums riding in the deserts of so.cal. LOVED the wide open, ride where you want access. Now in Hawaii, I can ride trials (not trails) in the woods, dual sport trails on the mountain or on this here MX track. I know it's just a matter of practice and mechanical installation of "softening" goodies. I'll get used to it.... or another bike.
