    Source of O-rings

    What do you guys think of this place for intake o-rings?

    http://www.allorings.com/cgi-bin/Cat...playNumber=369

    I recently made the decision to properly change them and it seems Robert Barr doesnt stock the o-rings for the ''77-'79 550, so Im thinking of just ordering them and maybe also the carb o-rings from this place, I just dont know all the sizes and widths. What do you guys think?

      For just a few bucks more, I would just go with OEM. That way, you would be assured of the correct size and material.

      Besides, what are you going to do with the other 46 o-rings?

      Actually, I just got done looking at some parts fiches, and did not see any o-rings. Does your bike use them?

          I believe its part #21 here http://www.bikebandit.com/1979-suzuk...s550ln/o/m6083

          also the bag of 28mm o-rings comes with fewer rings, one width is 25, another is 10. Id probably sell them cheap on here.

              Look up Tkent02, he bought a large bag of Viton O-rings in the size necessary for the VM carb 550's. I also have some spares so ping me if you can't reach Tom. As I recall a standard dash number size O-ring is a good fit so they should be easy to find if you want to purchase bulk, just make sure you get Viton for this application because of the high heat.

              Good luck.

                      You are correct, that is the ring.

                      I could not find them at first, because for my 850s, they are on the "Cylinder Head" fiche.
