Suzuki 2 Strokes

Does anyone know what these are and where they go? When rebuilding my last GT550, 2 of these suddenly appeared on the bench while working on the motor. I had no idea where they came from and wee omitted on the rebuild. This time the motor is still in the frame and 2 more have appeared. One the other day and today while mopping up all that oil. They remind me of a candy I used to eat as a kid called licorice nibs. They almost look like some sort off stop / bumper, but there is no means of retention. They are rubber and cone shaped as you can see. The bottom side is not totally flat. It is slightly concave.

Do they go in the fins of the cylinders or heads??

No. They come from the underside of the motor. That's what I thought they were. Silencing wedgies, but I didn't find a place for them last time. The motor is coming out of this one as well. Maybe I'll find where they go. If not, I can confirm that the motor runs just fine without them

They hold up the SRIS hoses. They get wedged in between the fins on the underside.

Yep - also used on the GT380, PE250, RM250, RM370, RM400, RM465, RM500, RV125, TC100, TC125, TC90, TS125 etc....................

Yeah. I noticed last night they had flat marks from being pressed between something. I won't be needing them as I am eliminating the SRIS. AND they are missing from RedZone

Those hold the muffler bearings in place.

I'm pretty sure those are the plugs for the blinker fluid reservoirs!

That was only on models with high lift headlamp bubs and long duration valve stems. They were only available on special order to certifiable race teams.

It is hard to tell from the picture if they are hollow ? i was going to say the covers for the bleeder valves on the front calipers .. i guess not

Maybe the rubber cushions for the piston return springs? http://www.lambretta.net/shop/0208A.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
