Clutch cover gaskets discountinued gs 1100

[miket]

Called my local dealer today for clutch cover gasket I was told discontinued

[Kaiser Sosei]

I really doubt they have actually discontinued them. he probably just didn't wnat to waste his time looking up the part number. I have noticed that some parts are being discontinued but I doubt something like the clutch cover gasket is one of them. Try online at Bike bandit or Part Shark or Z1 Enterprise.

Today, 04:22 PM Kaiser Sosei I really doubt they have actually discontinued them. he probably just didn't wnat to waste his time looking up the part number.

I agree, parts monkey busy with holiday season.

Did you have the OEM part number when you went in? I always have the part number in hand if I go to a dealer so I do not have to wait while they look it up and risk the counter guy getting me the wrong part because they do not realize motorcycles were made before they were born.

Unless you need the part in 2 or 3 days (which some dealers can do) or it's an oil filter, never buy from the local dealer unless you are just trying to be a nice guy.

If you would care to reveal exactly which GS1100 we're talking about (Shaftie or chain? Model year?), the GSR Hive Mind can verify availability rather quickly.

I dug through the parts fiches at Bike Bandit, and found available clutch cover gaskets for every model that came with an 1100 engine. They're listed under Engine and Exhaust, then under Crankcase - Cover. Parts dude at the dealer needs to go back to parts ordering school, or find another job, stat.

Like the others said, he was too worried about selling somebody a new $400 yoshi can for their gixxer to do his job looking up a $9 gasket.

E L or G?
I have lots of 16 valve clutch gaskets.

See? There you go. The Turtleface unit of the GSR Hive Mind has already processed your request and provided the answer.

Kinda eerie, ain't it?

Next question, please?

A simple google search for "suzuki parts" turns up dozens of places to order the part from. Look up the factory part number for yourself and take it to your local dealer or just order on-line. Easier still, cut out a gasket yourself using a hole punch and some sissors - get gasket paper from the local auto parts store and use the old gasket, or the cover, as a template.

Whatever happened to the printable templates? That would be a great! There was some kind of issue with sizing?

It will probably blow through with blue skies in the morn.
