G'day all,

Some of you may have read here http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=8721 that I have been having some trouble with the TL. Good news is that the problem has been found. Bad news is that it has a broken front inlet camshaft! New price for part is $560.00, i'm hoping that someone here will now somewhere on the net to get cheap Suzuki parts from??? Suzuki part number is "1270102F40." I will be looking on the net to see what I can find, but perhaps someone can allready recommend somewhere?

Cheers all

As said above try Gary at GP Trading. Ebay also has lots of TL parts, but no camshafts at present unfortunately dude.......

Cheers for help so far...

Yeah ebay has every other bloody part except camshafts and gp motorcycles are coming back to me in the morning. Plus shite trash is onto it for me...

Justa thought, Glens (speedmedic) getting a new engine in his R, maybe you can swipe the cams outta the old one for cheap??? if you haven't got something sorted yet?

The R cams are a bit more aggressive profile creating more top end hp, the R heads valves and ports also are slightly larger. But have heard of people swapping heads and cams round to suit there riding. think bernard had S heads with R cams in his TLR race bike, could be wrong though.

[TLDV8]

There is no real difference between the TLS and R head as far as ports and valve size etc.........what is different is the pitch on the cam gears,if you run a TLR cam gear wheel on a TLS idler gear it will have incorrect mesh. (fwiw)

Cheers guys, got it sorted now. Got one from GP Trading for $250.00. Better than $560.00 for a new one. Just got to wait for it to arrive so I can get it back on the road...

Dunno about bike cams but as far as cages go it's a fair risk it won't last if you put a 2nd hand cam into another engine and don't put in new lifters/cam followers and even then there's no guarantee.

Roller cams and lifters are o.k. but the old type? hmm...

Maybe your TL runs a roller set-up? Somebody out there will know.

glue not work then?
