I bought a 95 LS650 without knowing that the main shaft of the transmission was bad. So I have been on a quest to find a new one. I've been told I could weld the pulley sprocket to the main shaft instead of replacing the old main shaft, however, the oil seal of the main shaft was displaced in my efforts to remove the JB welded pulley sprocket, i.e. I ruined the oil seal with a chisel. Rookie mistake.
I purchased a tranny from an eBay vendor for an 86 LS650 b/c on any parts site that I researched, the 2 main shafts for the transmissions had the same exact part number. After 3 different sites confirming the parts numbers, it seemed a safe bet.
Recently, I tried to install the 86 main shaft using my 95 gears. No go. So I did some more research only to find that in 95, Suzuki changed the LS650 from 4 spd to 5 spd, seemingly, in the middle of the year! There are 2 models that year F and P. I have a P, which is the 5 spd model.
Dang it.
So now, I'm trying to find someone in the parts industry, etc. that can confirm a part # for a 95 LS650P main shaft.
24130-24B01 is not the right part # for my lower end. I've tried it. It seems that 24130-24B12 is the right part # and that the parts sites have just not modified their info.
Please help!
Thanks!
