It's just an o-ring, right? I can use anything that's a tight fit, yeah?

When I replaced mine they stretched when I pulled them off so it would have been hard to match them up.  I would get the part numbers and get them from your local Suzuki dealer.  That way you'll know they're right, and if you have issues once you get everything back together you won't have to second guess yourself for maybe installing the wrong part.

Well, considering I can pick up an entire set of different sized o-rings from Home Depot that are nitrile for $2.40, I think I'll try that first. If not, I'll go OEM.

might do better to get them at an auto-parts store. some boxes wil say 'fuel resistant'. a mix-n-match huge box of o-rings is really nice to have. if the gaskets don't leak fuel on the bike, save your money.

i'd imagine your comment about the jets being clogged previously should sort things out nicely now.

remember to check your over flow hoses, actually all the hoses, to make sure they flow and have zero blockages. interesting things happen when they don't allow atmospheric changes to happen.

really like the orange on that bike. looks great.

enjoy !   :thumb:
