    Any suggestions 1979 GS 850 - petcock advice on good value non original petcock.

    Hi, I have a leaky non original petcock on my GS 850. I am hoping to find a good value replacement petcock rather than the official $100 Suzuki replacement.

    Any links or suggestions of replacement non genuine petcock?

    thanks

    Only two real choices, get the OEM or purchase a Pingel set up, those aren't cheap either. There is a third choice, though can't remember the name, I'm sure someone here will have it. Some of the other aftermarket ones can be questionable. Don't even bother with a rebuild kit, they have a high failure rate.

    Stuff I've done to my bike 1100E front end with new Sonic springs, 1100E swing arm conversion with new Progressive shocks installed, 530 sprockets/chain conversion, new SS brake lines, new brake pads. New SS fasteners through out. Rebuilt carbs, new EBC clutch springs and horn installed. New paint. Motor runs strong.

      Get a Pingle. They have a positive off, reserve, and on. No crappy vacuum. You'll need the petcock and adaptor - not cheap, but by far better than stock.
