    Help!
    I need new or better valve guides to my Terra 650.
    I guess it is the same as for the BMW G650GS. That bike was manufactured until 2015. Seven years ago.
    At the local BMW shop we could see the valve guides in the exploded view. But they are missing in the partslist!
    The guy at the shop asked BMW and come back with the information that BMW taken them out of production. (Is it legal to stop parts production for a vehical seven years old?)

    Does anyone out there have a tip what I can do?

    It is a gap in the sparepartslist for all BMW 650 for this parts.

    Thanks in advance for all assist I can get.

    i wouldn't assume that the BMW guides are the same. The TR650 valves (and entire head) are different hence the guides may be different too. Did you check in the workshop manuals if the valve shafts have the same diameter? I have a low milage TR650 head that i don't need anymore if that's an option.

    edit: the valve seal rings for TR650 and G650GS have the same part number hence the shaft diameter should be the same.
