i'm looking to repair / replace the head on my 97 gs500 beater.  will any year cylinder head fit?

i was also wondering if there are any differences in valves/heads among the different years.

gs500 expert types please respond and/or debate

yep it'll fit, the engine has not changed in all these years apart from half way through 91 when they took half a mm off the head casting and same of the end of camshaft, to stop the camshaft endfloat noice when cold. other than that all are exzakery the same  :D :thumb:

check with the F owners
since the tacho is electric
i don't know if suzuki just used a plug or didn't machine the tacho drive into the head
all E's will work
newer ones will be silver
older ones black

The tach port is plugged on the 04+.
Common sense in not very common.

There are changes to the cam specs, but the head is a direct swap.
