Question about Valve Seals?
12/03/21 at 13:38:02

I was wondering if anyone has had experience with purchasing Viton Blue Valve Seals off of ebay? I've heard mixed reviews of them being red rubber, and may have issues with leakage. So I'm hoping that I can go with a performance part instead of keeping with the Suzuki OEM. Or should I just stick with the OEM part? I'm trying to "mod" the top end out fro performance as much as will be allowed.

Makes me wonder why you would want to change unless the OEM seals have a history of less a than desired lifetime.

I don't really see any benefit in using them - either one will function just fine and the guides will likely wear out before the seals do.
