Hi, I'm relatively new to bikes (still having the L on my preciousss :)) and I'm in desperate needs of some parts and/or ideas how to get them. Any help is greatly appreciated!
With a friend of mine we disassembled the engine itself because of a sheering sound when travelling in gear 5 and 6 and realized that the drive gears for those would be better to be replaced.
See this image for the exact parts:
http://martinisti.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/bandit_gears.png - needed parts are 4, 5, 7
So I sent an email to Suzuki itself and to Colemans but the result was not promising at all: "part 7 is no longer available". What can I do now? I received some vague ideas from fellows:
try a wrecker - I found this site: http://www.motorcyclewrecker.co.nz/
try contacting another Japanese manufacturer to find out whether the same part is used in another bike, these might be standard - is it worth trying?
try finding and aftermarket manufacturer - where to start with this one?
try taking it to a welder and have it manufactured - I'm completely clueless about this option
If someone can give me an orientation/idea, anything I can go on with I'd be really grateful!
Thanks in advance,
MartinIsti
