Suzuki 2 Strokes

Hi all im doing a restore on a 1974 t-500. im looking for info in performance upgrades, were to buy parts to do a crank rebuild, what parts are interchangable with this bike. all info will be very helpfull. thanks

Welcome to the forum, hopefully there will be some here who have some ideas on how to help you.

Do you know that there is something wrong with your crank or is this just a sensible precaution?

Bill Bune in MN does a great job of rebuilding cranks. I'd send it up there and have them strip and check it and then you'll know what you need.

Crank parts are getting hard to find. Dino on this board offers bearings and conrods.

i have the motor stripped down now, just thought id get it done, the bike was a barn find and has not run in 20 years.

have you any link for this man ? Has he a website to know what does he do ?

I do also the rebuilding, but I think it's too expensive about the double shipping from out of Europe

Oil seals are dead, you are in the true, you must open your crankshaft.
More than viton seals does not like to be out of oil, with the yars you have also rust and electric rust between rods and pins and between bearings and balls...

Bill Bune's web site is here.

Thanks,
does he do some T500 special parts ? I did not see.
For me, rebuilding (shaft) is disassemble and reassemble and change any bad parts but what's about
-rebuildind & TRUE ?
-truing for 50$ ?
-true and weld for 75$ minimum ? with good crank
- good crank is good crankshaft ?
Sorry for my question, but I will put english in my website and I don't want to do too much mistakes...and I would know also about what does he means
