What you will be needing shortly.



I just thought this was funny that some one was selling a whole box of them.

Hmm...

$10. Might be worth investing in! 

The link was formatted weirdly and wasn't clickable

Thats what I get for not previewing...

Yeah, I was watching those, but the part number is closer to the 550 engine number (pre-89 4 cyl).

They may be indentical to "our" engine, though I would have to leave that up to our "head experts" JamesG, Dgyver, and Bob B.

MRCycle lists that part number at about $23 each. Not a bad deal for 6 ea.

lol, I have those on my watch list too 

I haven't been able to confirm the part# either, does anyone have a copy of the 'fiche?  Maybe we should all make a gentleman's agreement not to outbid each other?  I can't imagine anyone of us needing the whole box...

You have not seen my collection of bent and broken valves, most are exhaust though.

I am not going to research the part numbers but just from the pic, the valves look smaller in diameter.

According to my local Suzuki shop the part# for the intake valve on the GS500E is 12911-01D00 .  This does not match the number listed in the auction.  I can't say for certain that the ones on e-bay won't work, but it doesn't look very encouraging.

Read the GS550 there? That's for the 4cyl type.

Bad news.  I asked the seller.

If the numbers don't match then they won't work, I guess I made a mistake including the GS500.
