How to apply new crankcase emblems
Hi, I need advice on applying the magneto cover and points cover Suzuki emblems in the crankcase covers. I have the genuine Suzuki emblems which have a peel-off sticky covering on the back of them. Which is the best way to prepare the aluminium covers before applying the stickers/emblems to make sure they stick properly. Wipe the covers with metho, spray with carb cleaner, what's best to get the emblems to stick properly.

As long as it's clean and grease free , they'll stick .
I use a grease and wax remover in a spray can . Any "degreaser" will do . Make sure the surface is dry and job done .
There'll be a tiny tiny cut out in the emblem to lign them up spotty dick .
How aboot some pics . You KNOW we like our pics .

Simon, Thanks for the advice on the VERY small nick in the emblem. I wouild not have seen it if you hadn't told me about it. It fitted straight over the correspondingpiece on the alloy cover. It fitted a treat. Pictures following as requested.
I sprayed the cover down with carb cleaner and blew off with compressed air and then wiped over with meths and cleaned off with kitchen towel and then applied emblem after alighning notch on cover.
Excuse all the scratches on my magneto cover. Guess it's been dropped a couple of times!!!!!!!!!!!!!
