I don't think Suzuki has valve seats for any bike. I checked regardless and they don't for this one. Usually this is done using a generic valve seat and machining it in with an interference fit then grinding and polishing it into the needed fit.


I was wondering if anyone had ever taken this on.


I suspect getting a used head is the only way to make this bike worth while, but like I said, I don't see those for a reasonable price. They run about $500 Cad and a new head runs about $825 Cad
I see a new head on Aliexpress for just under $500 tho that's likely low quality...


The bike is only $300 Cad but I am going to pass on it.
