Here is where your gasket got made.

i fail to see why, with the proper paper, one couldnt just simply trace a pattern and cut it out with an exacto blade.

Like I said, the low end of our response range could be a printable file that allowed you to layout and cut your own gasket correctly with scissors and exacto knife.  I don't really like this answer because I have seen what screwing up cutting the gasket can do to an engine -- so I was looking for something better than the exacto knife to try to stop this from happening.

I've checked out the used equipment and for several hundred dollars you can buy factory refurbished stuff that will do this (if you would take the time to master the software and write the program).

but seeking somebody who does cottage work to do this for us requires set up costs (writing the program) and debugging the design.  Then once they were cut, you have to oil them with silicone oil and distribute them.

Proper gasket papers range in the .020-.030"" thick range which is butcher paper to light poster board type stuff.  Getting the right paper isn't hard.

Cheapest easily available thick silicone oil is "tire shine" from Walmart.

This is doable, but only at a price.

Im young. Younger than most here but REALLY. Precision in cutting is just a matter of going slow and pressing hard enough. If you're in a hurry no doubt, you'll slip up. But if you were to take your time I see no reason the average person cant cut out a printed stencil of the side gaskets on the savage. I've done much more precise and complicated stencils than that on the savage. Got a half hour and the right material? Hell...I got nothing to do. Supply me with the material and i'll do it for half the suzuki price...or less

& I know a very industrious young man Im gonna tell about this . Thanks!

Hell no, if I wanted to do it I would have.  To make it pay he'll have to get up with other motorcycle groups and program other different bikes.

Too much like work.  Like a job, so to speak.

Plus when I post the .jpeg file for the gasket in a day or so it'll derail all our real cheapskate members

(who all own exacto knives).



Sunk cost of $300/$5 per gasket = 60 gaskets to break even

You can buy the stuff at any auto parts store too.   Stock gasket is .020" thick, so watch the thickness of what you buy as if you go too thick you'll have reflection in your clutch lever / rod travel range.

I am awaiting a return email from FileDen.com where I opened a free account to host the .jpeg files I scanned in this morning.
