PM a guy called Oyster on KB, AKA Peter Jones from the 'other' island. He knows anything and everything there is to know about rebuilding RG's. He's helped me out MANY times!

BTW - $400 aint too bad for a rebuild. Try doing your big end in.... Cost me about $850 for a total rebuild last time, that included bearings as well.

NO!! TBH genuine suzuki parts are crap quality and expensive. The only genuine things that you really have to buy from them are a few of the bearings due to he shape/size of them. My engine is made up of mostly aftermarket parts and it lasted a whole race season this year no probs. I even forgot to change the spark plug all season, doh!
