Title: 2007 gs500f valve destroyed piston
Post by: Denverlittle on June 05, 2025, 01:23:28 PM
Just picked up a new project and it's a first for me. Clutch side piston lost the exhaust valve.
Besides the basic parts(sleeves, head, piston, cam chain tensioner, gaskets) what else should I look at replacing?

Sounds like you have a fun little project. Also sounds like you have the basics.
 You can pretty much rebuild them on the side of the road with plyers, a screwdriver and a rock.
Get a good shop manual! They are fun little bikes. This is a great board for seeking knowledge.

Welcome aboard!
