Hi guys. I own a 1993 Suzuki Gn250.
When I bought it , it had around 9k km on the clock , and I added another 11k. The seller told me it had a minor accident , a few scratches on the exhaust and handle bar but that was all. The tank was shining , scratch less , and the original sticker was still on it.
It had no rust , looking perfect except those scatches on the exhaust. I was quite impressed that an old motorcycle was in so good condition with so few km.

Recently i looked at the gaskets , and i noticed one of them ( head gasket i think ) its not looking like new , looks like silicon ( gray ) , but not looking like the rest of them.

My question is : did Suzuki made it like this? Was my engine was apart? What do you guys think? Is it bad if the head came off?

It runs just fine , smoothly , but it seems suspicious to me that the head was off before 9k km... Should I expect something in the future?

It will get rattlier and wear out.

Keep changing the oil and that will be years away. Dont lose any sleep over it.
