plUG OUT, LEFT SIDE INSPECTION COVER OFF, SOCKET, EXTENSION, RATCHET, OOOps, caplox, sorry.. spin the motor over & see if you feel anything. With the valve adj. covers off, get it to TDC & see what kinda slop is in the rockers. Get a finger on the cam, etc,, just give it a good goin over,, Mite even be a good time to dump the oil into an aluminum pan & go fishing with a magnet..

I ordered new gaskets from Parts Fish http://www.partsfish.com/ I'm not sure where they are in the grand scheme of online parts, but they seem to have about everything and I could buy just the gaskets I need instead of a whole kit from Ron Ayers. They ship in a couple of days so I'd say tear everything down and figure out what you need. Every time you buy something it will cost you 7.00 shipping for each separate order. I could have saved 15.00 if I had waited a day or two into my tear down. We have a REALLY good motorcycle junkyard in Phoenix and I've found all the internal parts I need really cheap.

YOu shouldnt need but the clutch cover gasket, Last one I got I walked into a shop, not a Suzuki, just a shop,, they have a machine they stick a CD into & a printer lookin thing with a blade that cuts out the gasket. Cost me $14.00, took about 10 minutes,,

I found a shop here that does the computer gasket trick for about 18.00 but I'd have to drive across town (no such thing as a short quick trip in Phoenix). I think I got it online for about 17.00 but I bought a Raptor petcock and a couple other things and shipping was 6.95 for the bunch. When I pulled the clutch and stator sides both gaskets were trashed. From my VW days I'm not a big fan of re-using gaskets even if they look OK, they always seemed to leak.

If it doesn't cost to much I'd assume line up everything that I know I'll need. Regardless, thanks for the help.

Not the heavy duty industrial grade Reynolds..... it will last like 12 hours outside and 3 days inside....and if you double fold with the reflective side out, you can squeak an extra day and yer hat still can't be penetrated.. Cheesy
