Re: Dropping valves
Lost one of the half moons, there isn't a Suzuki dealership for 100 miles and none and I do mean NONE of te other bike ships within an hour of me have one. So frustrating. All I need is one little half moon and I'd be back in the road.

Re: Dropping valves
Goose I'm really interested in your parts supplier. I'm looking for a source for valve seats that doesn't require I buy the whole damn head.

Re: Dropping valves
I used a site called aliexpress.com and I had to buy parts that were labeled as
Being for a GN250. Exact same engine from what I hear. Either way I wasn't very happy with what showed up so I'd try to find somewhere else if I was you |

Re: Dropping valves
Both of the sections that had cooling fins had a fin that was chipped pretty significantly. Also one of the gaskets was ripped. Luckily I was able to use the old gasket as it was still in really good shape.
I should have returned it, and if I knew I'd be waiting weeks for another part I would have but oh well. |

Removing valves from junk head.
Could be dangerous! but I did it with a towel over the head to keep flying parts in. I opened a number 10 crescent wrench a little outside the stem space . Then I gave it a whack with a 5lb hammer..... Not saying its the best way, but it worked on my damaged head on the second tap.
