I have been searching through the forum archives and can't find an answer so i'm posting a new thread. I took off my stator cover to check out the stator (not burnt up which is relieving). The gasket broke when I took it off and I can't find any parts store that has it. Do you guys know anywhere on the net that has this? And what exactly is it called? A magneto gasket maybe? I'm finding lots of parts for the GS450 but not the 400, but i'm guessing the 450 is a stroked 400. If anyone can tell me if 450 parts cross over i'd appreciate it.

Or secondly can I just use some oil resistant permatex stuff and make my own gasket? -
Mag cover gasket, check the microfiche at www.flatoutmotorcycles.com
Their prices seem to be the lowest.

No GS400. I know they exist but I can't seem to find them in any microfiche either.Originally posted by KSlawman View Post

Get a sheet of thin gasket material & make your own gasket DO NOT TRY & USE RTV ONLY it will effect the clearance of the starter idler gear and cause it to bind upComment

As I have recently learned, the 81gs400's were european bikes. If your looking at north american part suppliers then you are not going to find anything.
I'm told for jsut about everything but the engine, the 81gs450 is a decent match. I'm not sure about the rest of the drive train.
I'm told this site is good for finding out if parts can be interchanged.Comment

Thanks for the advice on making a gasket. I went to Suzuki and just like the previous guy said, there aren't any in North America. My title says it's a 1981 Suzuki GS4 and then cuts off. At the Suzuki shop, we checked out a gasket from a 450 to see if it would fit on that cover and it wouldn't. So, I know my engine is not a 450. My bike has some titling issues and I'm wondering if it has a switched out title because it definately looks like a GS400. I am thinking I have a 1978 GS400 with a 1981 GS450 title. I'll post this picture and you guys tell me what you think. The frame has GS400 stamped on it but the VIN sticker has been taken off. http://s67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...&addtype=localLast edited by Guest; 12-05-2006, 05:17 PM.Comment

hey, I had trouble IDing my bike to. Check out "Mystery GS400" in the general discussion.
Chances are your engine serial number doesn't match your frame, and no garage has any clue where to get parts.
as for engine parts. use that site i posted before and you should be able to check to see if 78 parts are useable on 81's.Comment
