I noticed that you spec sheet says 2 valves. Trust me I spent half a day lapping my valves with a wooden lapping tool there are 4 valves. 2 intake and 2 exhaust.

I have noticed many errors in magazines especially last years motorcycle buyers guides as to the number of cylinders and valves on the GZ 250. One magazine actually had a GZ250 image with the 650 cruiser description. I thought that was funny because the GZ is so obviously the better choice :-)

Any body got any old engines especially top ends. Rocker box valves. Mines running but eventually it will need a new one :-)

You're not the only one who noticed. Last post from the 'folks in the know' (I think it was patrick777) approximately five months ago, was in the spirit of, that they were "well aware of the issue" :roll:
and that it was "currently in the process of being addressed" (obviously, a euphemism for 'could we care less?'). :whistle:
