I need to find some good liquid gasket though, the manual states suzuki bond 1215 but I can't find this stuff anywhere and it's a bit late now!
might be worth bending some ears in a local bike shop,,,, not the pocket rocket supermarket type where the staff dont know what oily hands look like and would love to sell you some super duper suzuki bond 1215 for £60
id be looking for some ugly bugger with a beard and oil tattood into his hands... im sure he will have a nice equivelant in a dusty box for a tenner :)
