    oil seals and valve question

    I got an 1980 Gs750 16v

    Can you change the oil seals without split case? If So How?

    Should I get a valve job done the bike has 40,000 km blows no blue smoke will I got the motor out for a big bore kit? If so what angle valve job should I get done?

    Thanks

    Which oil seals are you talking about? The valve stem oil seals? Those can be changed out with just the head off the bike.

        In my opinion, Absolutely. Vacuum seal away those gaskets somewhere and wait until you need them. Unless you just enjoy working on motorcycles more that riding them, I am a big believer in not fixing what ain't broke. It will probably be broke by the time you finish fixing it.
        Believe in truth. To abandon fact is to abandon freedom.
