As a follow up to this we ended up putting a spacer under the barrel and using longer pushrods.

Might anyone know of a lower compression piston compatible with the B44?

What is the preferred shoe to work with the chrome? I rode an event with new Goldfren shoes and they are making good and even contact but don’t do the job.

Motion Pro makes a tool that works great for this https://www.motionpro.com/product/08-0134 I had this for use on my old Honda MT125 road racer. The RL is probably much less stressed but I’d hate to stress the cylinder base flanges if I can help it.

Stpauls, Yes, I did send my question there and they do not have that info either. I'm going with 20 ft/lb and will report success or failure

I have been unable to find the torque numbers for the cylinder base nuts or the mag flywheel nut in any of the manuals I have. Anyone have these at hand? thanks in advance

Any chance of some frame pics minus the tank , please ?

Just to be clear- .5mm in total, or each side? Thanks again

Thanks much!

Is there any width spec'd for the washers that center the piston on the pin? We have a bike here that has been apart before as evidence by the clear silicone sealant between the case halves and the 4 washers (2 per side) were grooved on each other. Maybe even binding. Wondering if there is any spec for how much gap is needed to accommodate expansion when hot.

Folks, I have been unable to find torque numbers for the 11mm head bolts that secure the case halves as well as the main seal carrier bolts. I've got the partial copy of the 247 service manual thats been floating around, and the parts schematic but cannot find these numbers. Anyone having these or a link would be greatly appreciated.

So I may have a bonus thrust washer. When dissembling I bagged each assembly separately so I wouldn't lose anything or mix up things. There was a thrust washer behind the clutch basket ( 25mm i.d.hole) and another between the inner hub and basket (20mm i.d.hole) so of course that's what I used to reassemble. It doesn't bind with the 2nd thrust washer removed but the teeth of the clutch basket gear, kick start intermediate, and crank gear line up better with it installed. It's a proper thrust washer, not a hardware store item. Is this redundant or possibly more than 1 type of clutch assembly? I need to get another parts book clearly thanks

Thank you Sir!

that washer is in place and the correct thickness. Thanks for the photo. I believe I have a parts manual but its gone missing in the move

So after an unexpected home search and 2 address changes I've been able to work on the RL again. Case is back together and I now remember something that struck me funny when disassembling. The nut holding the clutch on its shaft was only finger tight and secured by the washer folded over the flat. Now correct torque makes it bind. The basket and inner hub have Suzuki emblems cast into them but may belong to a different model. Careless previous owner? Might anyone have a motor apart and able to measure major clutch components to see what I need to change out? Thanks in advance
