Can I use a 1000G starter clutch and rotor on my 1000S?

Starter clutch on my 1000 engine is in ok condition but I have a 1000G engine with what looks like a new one. Checked the parts fishe and the starter clutch is different between the models. Notable difference is the G model version has larger diameter needle bearings.

The end of the crank is the same for both models so and the gear has the same number of teeth, so is there any reason I can't switch over to the 1000G parts? A quick trial fit indicates they will swap.

One other question: my crank shows .003" runout when measured on the center bearings. Manual calls for .002" as service limit. I know the crank should be sent in but what is everyones experience with runout on a factory crank? Is Suzuki actually able to hold .002"?

Thanks in advance as always.
 
.003 I would not worry about it. If the starter clutch brgs are different it may not fit ????, which brg are we talking about ?????. The internal springs and rollers would be the same

The large starter clutch gear rides on two needle bearings, which in part ride on the crank snout. The ID of these needle bearings is the same for both clutches (thus the clutch will interchange between the different bikes), but the OD is 1mm larger on the G clutch. I think it's a pretty simple matter of just using the G clutch with the larger bearings.
