    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...

A search has turned up that a number of people do not like K&L float bowl gaskets.
Is there another option beside OEM?
 
I've read threads about some of the other bits in the kits being bad, but not the gaskets. I've got them on my 850, and don't see any difference vs OEM.
 
I usually make my own any more. Most parts besides the float needles aren't needed and gaskets are pretty costly for what they are.

K&L gaskets are fine.
It's the only aftermarket kit I will use but only if I do not have stock stuff.
 
I ordered some aftermarket float bowl gaskets when rebuilding the carbs for my 750. Unfortunately, I don't remember which ones I bought now or where I bought them from. But I do remember that they didn't fit right. The looked right, but were just a hair too long in one direction and at least one of the holes was off.

Z1 Enterprises likely has K&L float bowl gaskets and I'm positive that they would take them back if they didn't work for you.

Also most of us just reuse the existing gaskets if they are not torn.
 
I get a 4 pack from Sirius Consolidated out of Canada for 9.00 plus shipping . On the home page select Suzuki and then carb parts. Even with the3 shipping they are the cheapest i have found yet and havent had any leaks so far.
