My baby's getting a birthday!!! :Punk:

but we were quoted over $600 for valve guide seals, rings & gaskets from Suzuki NZ <_<

I've seen threads/posts on here where people say about getting stuff sent from overseas at a fraction of the prices of getting bits in NZ.. so, is anyone out there able to send any links to suppliers of engine parts please?? :wait:

Rings, valve guide seals & top end, or complete gasket set

She's a Suzuki 93 GSX400FL

I have the engine & chassis numbers here, if they would be of any help.

Much appreciated :first:

Bit of an oddball--I'd cross reference the parts you need against a more common model--say the gixxer 400
PSST--if you can get it down there you can have the RF400 engine Ive got here --FOC

Yeah.. it sure IS an oddball Frosty.. there's only a hand full of them in the country.. :wacko: I've had her 6 years.. & nearly every job has been a mission to source parts :blink:

Thanks for the offer of the engine mate!! :hug: Will let my mechanic know bout it & see what he has to say! :2thumbsup

Have a looksie on ebay, Uk seems to have had a few bits, its a twin right? water cooled? no pistons- just fitting new rings?. A shop over there had a top gasket kit for $210(nz).

The problem that seems to come up all the time Tony is: no one has ever been able to find a definite manual for this bike.. (because it's such an odd ball) or find the engine/frame numbers etc in parts books, in order to match parts too.. so, how will we know IF the gixxer 400 parts.. will FIT my bike for sure?? :confused:

For gaskets, try:
http://www.bkperformance.com.au/

I got side cover and sump gaskets from them and they were good service/value. I think they do head gaskets as well.

dont know if that is the correct bike, but it will give you an idea of cost.
