Title: Valve measurements
Post by: Afzzr12 on November 06, 2006, 09:10:03 AM
Just wondering if anyone has the service manual specs for the intake and exhaust valves.  I'm not looking for the clearance of valve tappet to cam, but the measurements of the actually valves themselves.  Mainly the stem diameter for exhaust and intake. 

Thanks
Alex

Intake 9.960 to 6.975 mm

Exhaust 6.945 to 6.960 mm

Given the questions you ask here I'd consider buying the Suzuki shop manual. I got one on eBay for about 20 bucks (I was lucky, I know, they aren't offered too often.)

Cool thanks.  i was just bumping numbers you guys would give me to the ones I got out of the haynes.  It is weird when things wear down exactly the same like these valves did.  I thought it might have been a typo in the Haynes manual.
