This is exactly right. If you're getting an oil smoke puff on morning start up, but the engine is otherwise running well, the valve stem seals are bad. MoS2 won't cure this. MMO won't cure this. The only fix is to replace the valve stm seals.
Depending on the exact details of your engine, this may be more or less difficult. Basically, you have to compress the valve spring, remove the spring keeper, remove the spring and related parts, remove the old seal and replace it, and then reassemble the spring and keeper.
Oh yes, you don't want the un-sprung/un-kept valve to drop down into the cylinder while you're doing all this - bummer if that happens. At least one way to prevent this is to pressurize the cylinder with an air compressor. Of course, you could just remove the cylinder head and do the job on the bench - much easier - but then you're looking at several additional steps, more parts, etc.
Find a mechanic or shop that works on Suzuki engines of your model and vintage. Ask the mechanic how they normally do this job. Every engine has its tricks and most mechanics will be glad to help you out if you're trying to do this yourself.
