gear position sensor leaming oil

[ChopperCharles]

The gear position sensor on the left side of my 850 gl under what would bbe called a sprocket cover on a chain drive bike is leaking oil onto my exhaust. I cannot seem to be able to find the part on partsfiche.com... Am I going to need a new switch or just an O-ring? Or is it a Gasket? I would just take it apart and see, but I'm riding and don't want to disable the bike while I wait for parts. Thanks All!

Charles.

Oh and if anyone knows the size of the o ring or the part number, I could really use That!

Thanks!

Charles.

Pretty sure that it is just an O-ring that should be available at your Suzuki dealer.
It was part #33 on www.bikebandit.com but the part # doesn't match the picture IF your bike is a 1980 model.

Charles this is the part number you need for that "O" ring for the gear indicator mechanism. Part# 09280-26005. This part was used on 357 different model Suzukis so should be available from suzuki dealer.

Don do you have a cross reference database for this information?
I tried pitifully to extract the OEM database in order to allow a model or parts search for picking stuff up at junkywaarsd but my skills ar elacking.

as for the o-ring it may be that your screws are a bit loose tighten em up a bit and only a bit cos that would be a hatefule hole to tap

First, stop using BikeBandit to look up parts -- they use their own obfuscated parts number system which causes massive confusion.

Here's the information from the fiche at partshark.com:
O RING (D:2.4 ID:26.2)
09280-26005

Your best bet is the see if your local Suzuki dealer happens to stock this o-ring -- it's very commonly used on hundreds of models.

Or, if it's easier, check with a source for metric o-rings locally -- maybe there's an industrial supplier nearby.



A "standard" inch-sized o-ring might also work, but no guarantees. They're a lot easier to find, anyway.

2.4mm thickness translates to 3/32", and 26.2mm ID comes out to about 1-1/32". However, standard o-rings are only available in 1/16" increments.

So a #120 o-ring might work (1" ID X 3/32"). A #121 o-ring (1-1/16" X 3/32") might work, but might also be a bit too big. It would be cheap enough to buy both and try them.

And in this application, a regular buna-n o-ring from a hardware store should work fine -- you don't need the extra heat resistance of Viton.

Hi Rusty, Yes I do have a cross reference database. If you have a Suzuki part no. and would like to know which models it fits just send me the info (email or PM) and I will send the info you need back to you.

Hi,

A little info I've collected on my little website...

Parts Cross-Reference Software - For Suzuki and other motorcycles (a commercial product, about $25)

http://zedder.com/catalog.htm

Alternate (Free) Parts Cross-Reference Procedure - using a couple of our favorite online resources. Note: This is not as complete as the Zedder program above.

1. Start here:

http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm

2. Find your bike by year and model. Select the part you wish to reference.

3. Identify the part number, right-click and copy the part number.

4. Then use Babbit's cross-reference utility here:

http://www.babbittsonline.com/pages/parts/viewbybrand/1/default.aspx

5. In the pull-down menu labeled "Brands", select "Suzuki".

6. Right-click and paste the part number copied from alpha-sports into the line labeled "Search for".

7. Click "Quick lookup".

You are then presented with every model that the referenced part will fit.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
