72 T500 Rear Suspension - Baffled
Posted: Sat May 18, 2013 5:45 am
I have a problem and I hope someone can help.
I am just about to assemble my 72 T500 rear suspension and I have the following new washers for the rear shocks from the T500 parts book (see attached drwg) - these are Item 9: # 08322-11128 = 4 x washers 22 x 12 x 2.25 and Item 10: # 09160-10001 = 6 x washers 24 x 10.5 x 2.3.
I have attached the parts drwg for the T500 rear shocks and this shows that item 10: # 09160-10001 (6 x washers), one is used on the inner and outer top suspension stud on each side of the bike and one is used each side of the inner bottom suspension stub. The trouble is, the stud diameter for the top and bottom is 12mm diameter, therefore these washers do not fit?
The other 4 x washers Item 9: # 08322-11128 are 4 x washers 22 x 12 x 2.25 which are meant to go on each of the outside of the studs. The problem is, the thread on each of the studs is 10mm OD but the ID of these washers is 12mm. They do fit over each of the 12mm OD studs. I am totally confused - is this due to a misprint in the Suzuki parts book?
Has anyone struck this before and/or has a solution?
