    The Factory Suzuki Manual for my bike ( also known as the Old Testiment) states lapping is neither required nor recommended. YMMV
    1981 GS650G , all the bike you need
    1980 GS1000G Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely

      Well all I can say is that there must be some discrepancy between the Suzuki Factory Manuals. My manual tells me to lap the valves using 3 different grades of paste working from course to fine.

          I always lightly lap valves in when putting a head together & have done for 20 odd years with no problems, i fail to see how making a good seal between valve & seat could be anything but good news

          I suppose its down to choice really & ive made mine :-D
