RE: Lapping valves on 4 stroke
This post is about a Y-S 91 FZ
On newer Saito four strokes, the valve seat is chrome plated aluminum. Be very careful that you do not cut through the chrome. You just want to clean off the seat.
My experience with well used four strokes, there are other parts of the valve that show wear. Like the keeper grooves and the very top of the stem as well as the contact face of the rocker arm.
