Same happened to my girlfriends 94 GS. Before moving to England from Germany to be with my good Self in Jan 2002, the bike had always been dealer serviced.
Imagine my horror when I found both heads had stripped, hardly a thread in sight & not a trace of lubricanr/grease/CopperSlip anywhere?
We ended up buying two second hand heads with valves & springs from Sherlocks. By the time you added gaskets etc & VAT, the bill was over £300.00.
Time was tight, hence not opting for their re-furbishing service which was cheaper. I now clean & lube the threads twice a year.
