What's It Called - GS850 gasket around the cam chain?

[Guest]

I pulled the head from my GS850 today, and discovered that the rectangular gasket that goes around the cam chain falls apart when touched. I'm having trouble sourcing just that rubber gasket (don't need a whole gasket set). Is there a special name for that rectangular rubber gasket? Where can I source one?

Depending on the type of new head gasket you are using you may not need one. You should be able to find that part though on any OEM online parts fiche.

Come one, don't give the guy a bum steer like that.

Bike BANDIT uses their own part numbers, making hard to cross-reference for anything else, and they cost more.
That part costs $23.32 at the BANDIT.

Instead, go to Parts Outlaw where you can order Suzuki OEM part number 09280-99003, and they only charge $20.94.

BONUS TIME: when you get to the checkout page at Parts Outlaw, look for the promo window, type in the word "BANG", you will get free shipping instead of their usual $9.99 flat-rate.
