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

[Guest]

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.

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.
