Valves and valve springs

Those do look pretty hosed.

This place lists new valves for 650's for very cheap prices. Not sure about your 650 model.

I bought my new pistons from them.

Bountyhunter, thats exactly the kinda site I was looking for. Lot better price then oem. Now ya got me curious about stainless valves now. Anybody got a source for them so I can compare prices? I might to do an oversize valve if possible. Not sure how much bigger I would be able go on the stock seats though. I'll head on over to Lorcan's site to see how big other people have went with their 750 heads.

I can save you the time, 750 Turbo guys use 1mm larger exhaust valves and leave the intake stock.
There is a GPz750 Turbo in the garage, so I have a reason to hang out on Lorcan's site now

81-83 KZ650's use the same valves as 750's.

Lorcan cut a deal to have some 1mm oversize valves made, but I haven't found any stock size or oversize stainless valves listed for a 750 anywhere.

Right now I'm wondering about the feasibility of cutting down kZ1000 stainless valves for the 750. I believe I have the capability here to cut the valves to size, but I don't have the capability to cut the seats oversize (yet).

The valves are pitted from rust on the stem. IMO they're not usable.

Jay, I just called you guys today to get springs and they said they didn't have anything that would work on the 750's. Hope I can call tomorrow and add them to my order so I don't hafta pay shipping twice. Would I be able to ask for you so I can actually speak to someone who knows what they're talkin about?

Our KZ valve spring page is a little vague, however, I gave you the correct part number in my post above.

We can make custom stainless valves for any application, but they run over $40.00 each.
