I remember those when they came out. I LOVE those bikes.! Those models were very "works like" in the anodized parts, finned fork legs and gas tank shape. You did a very nice job on that one.

Getting Closer to Finishing the Build
The wristpin bearing finally arrived, I used an 18mm BuxTool to install the circlips, it took about 30 seconds to install each circlip. I coated the wristpin and bearing in two stroke oil. I installed a new oem Suzuki base gasket. I lightly wiped the sealing surfaces with lacquer thinner to remove debris and oil. I installed 4 new oem case studs, unlike my CR250, the rounded portion of the studs face up not down and I torqued them to 9 foot pounds. Also, these four case studs are all different with different part numbers and are position specific and two of the studs have dowels.
The cylinder was ported at Pro Circuit and the they milled the head to run on pump gas.This is a Wossner forged piston and it has a marking pointing to the exhaust side. I set the ring end gap at .4mm. I installed a new oem suzuki head gasket. The must be installed with the 'EX" mark facing up and pointed to the exhaust side of the cylinder. I torqued all the cylinder studs to 9 foot pounds. Exhaust port. I am waiting on a few more parts before I can do my leak down test but I decided to install the motor, It went in very easy, the big open frame gives you plenty of access.all new oem motor mount bolts.

VForce Reed Assembly and Moose Torque Spacer
Here is a better photo of the bike. Last night I installed the VForce reed assembly and the Moose Torque Spacer. I was also tweaking the clutch a little bit.
New oem shifter straight from the suzuki parts bin. This was not cheap.

Motor Finished
I buttoned up the motor last night. Everything went together very well. I really hate the JIS bolts, even though I did buy 3 JIS drivers, so I bought socket screws in the black ox color and used them on the entire motor. The clutch cover and water pump fit perfect to the new cases. The new clutch cover dowels were a little tight but after some assembly lube they went in ok. I torqued the clutch and water pump cover bolts in a crisscross 3 step pattern to 7 foot pounds. Tonight I will do a leak down test on the engine. The forks should be here in the next two weeks.
