[QUOTE="audiowize, post: 1263314, member: 86750"] There are a number of heads on eBay from used bikes that still have the valves installed. A Gen2 head will fit on your Gen1, it may be much quicker/easier to simply swap heads and leave your engine sitting in the bike. Having said this, I don't see any Gen2 heads on eBay, but you have a lot of time to look for one! If you're wanting absolute reliability, you can get a new head assembly for about $1000 [URL="https://www.mrcycles.com/oemparts/a/yam/50044a60f8700209bc7907ff/cylinder-head"]https://www.mrcycles.com/oemparts/a/yam/50044a60f8700209bc7907ff/cylinder-head[/URL] As you can see, the original P/N has been superseded by the part found on Gen2 bikes. Do note that a Gen3 head is a very different part number, and will not fit. [/QUOTE]
