Dropping valves

[Goose51683]

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.

Ahhhh!!!!!!

[Goose51683]

YES!!!! Found a half moon at a new father and son shop that mostly does
Scooters but they do some work on Suzuki bikes as well! You have no idea how thrilled I am right now that I can actually
Put my bike back together tonight.

Keep sending that good luck. I need it. Got everything together but she's still not running.

You'll get it going. Now it's just a matter of ironing out the details.

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.

[Goose51683]

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

What was wrong with the parts?

[Goose51683]

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.

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.
