    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

Looking for new crank and rod bearings for 85 550E

timbaux

Forum Apprentice
cant find any,,, .. was lookinf for a kit... containing main and rod bearings, rings, etc... I got gaskets already

any idea where i can find this?
 
You can't. There are no kits.

The bearings are color coded so you need to order from a dealership source and get the appropriate type.

Hope you bought OEM gaskets. Aftermarket "kits" tend to be poor quality, particularly Athena or no name kits.

Good luck


EDIT: checked Partzilla.com and it seems the bearings are not available anymore. You may have to get the PN's and then search ebay. That may be an issue.

All OEM gaskets... none of the dealers seem to have the bearings..they are not listed as available. thanks man i appreciate it you always were helpful.
 
Ebay has some bearings. You might get lucky...
 
Try Rocky Mountain ATV. They show them as available????

Or I could sell you a "project bike"!

Colour coded for sizing. Why do they all need replacement? They show as unavailable but if you have done all the measurements to see what size ( colour ) you need then you can be sneaky and copy paste the appropriate part number into google.

One assumes you have done the measurements indicated in the OEM manual starting at section 3-48

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUZUKI-G...-CRANK-PIN-SHELL-12229-43410-010/233316449013

just one set I think. and iirc cheap at 7 GBP

This undertaking will cost a great deal of time and money to the extent you may be wise in searching for a machine that died from sitting as a donor engine source.

i can probablty get by without changing the mains and rod bearings. i was just thinking to change them if i end up splitting the cases. thanks
 
Don't assume they are bad. There is a good chance you can reuse them unless something happened to the engine.
