Newbie 400 build advise

<< < (6/6)

sweetpeauk:
If its a normal bolt the Suzuki part number contains diameter and length.
Whereabouts in Dorset are you ?. I live in Poole and have a couple of 400/4, I have a number of the special tools needed for pulling the engine apart i.e clutch hub nut rotor puller. If you get stuck let me know.

Thanks for the heads up on the bolt length! I dont want to make that mistake!

Cheers Paul! I also live in Poole! if you have any spare parts for sale I'm looking for a few bits.... actually a lot! I picked the bike up on Friday and it was worse than I had thought, but I knocked the guy down and took it anyway. Hope I dont regret it. It came with boxes with parts in so who knows what i'm missing.

So far I've labeled, sorted and stripped most of the parts off the frame, just got the engine to remove and the front forks. I've kept the wheels on for now as the side kickstand has been badly repaired and is at the wrong angle, so the bike leans over to far. I'm trying to find out the correct angle and side stand length before I go any further. Its also missing the centre stand.

Hi Andy, welcome & enjoy your rebuild. It's an easy bike to source parts for; many options.

David Silver Spares (as you know) has a lot of 'new' parts - at a cost, but second hand bits can often be found here...

Sometimes Steve's description can be a little, um, optimistic, but he offers good service and often has those hard-to-find bits.

Cheers Simon, a thorough site if not a little complicated to order. thank you.

Lobo:
Yea, rather annoying in that you've first gotta contact Steve for a price. But with Internet banking you soon have an account # to transfer to, and after the first transaction it all becomes slick.

Where this site comes into it's own is those 'one off parts' that just bloody evade you everywhere else; you can get lucky.
