My beloved GS is now gone. She found a good home in the hands of a nice guy. Farewell dear friend of almost 7 years.
Well, now I happened to find a pair of K&L carburetor repair kits, brand new sealed in OEM packaging. Those are high-quality rubber seals, made in Japan. Some kits I see come with a jet/needle. These kits do not include those. Just rubber seal/rings. One kit is exactly what you need to replace all seals and rings in one carb.
I will let them go for $15 each (i.e. $30 for the pair), shipped free to continental US.
Email me remicom@gmail.com if interested. I will not be checking the forum. And thanks everybody for your help over the years!!

I'm pretty sure these wont fit an 01. They will fit 89-2000.
I know of someone who may need em. Let me ping him.
Cool.

Hi there,
I'd give you $20 shipped for both sets.
I could use them.
The sets with the needle valve and seats go on ebay for $40 for both sets. I know because I was shopping for sets without the valves and seats.
Thanks,
Trwhouse :)

I can only see this one, just one set, for ~$36, with valve though:

Where is the one you are talking about?
Hi there,
These were the ones I found with the needles and seats.
I don't want them with these parts.
$41.75 for TWO sets. :)

You mean $45 (with shipping). I can do $25 just to get it over with.
Anyone needs those? Or I will send them to the garbage can.

That's a lousy way to sell it.

Not to bust your sale but I found kits on partsnmore.com for 16 bucks per carb :D

So...$1 more each, and ship for $10.95. That's a total of $42.95. And they're out of stock.
OR
$30, free shipping.
I don't think finding them for 35% more is busting any sales. Also, you're a jackass. Stop doing what you're doing.
I was trying to be helpful to those who needed them and couldn't get his because I thought the op had his sold for 25$ for both, shipped, which is still less than partsnmore. Have a great day.

The K&L needle valves and seats are junk anyway, so it's almost a benefit that they aren't included. These o-rings are good though. This set will fit '89-'00 (not 2001+).
I could get the same o-rings and gaskets OEM through my local dealer for $34. The needle valve and seat is the expensive part. Therefore, I think asking $30 is a little steep for second hand aftermarket. I think $25 shipped was a fair enough price. Threatening to throw them in the garbage doesn't do anyone any good.
Good luck with your sale on these good parts.
Hi all,
I sent him a note saying I would take them for $20 for the pair shipped but haven't heard back from him yet.
I wrote to him that I was concerned that the o-rings might be hard and not pliable so that's why I was offering less.
Old parts can be a risk when they can degrade. :)
I bought new parts from Bike Bandit -- a HORRIBLE experience -- so I didn't need them for this carb rebuild, but I wouldn't mind having viable spares for the future.
Bike Bandit took FOREVER to ship, backordered a part and didn't tell me, which held the shipment up even more, and were almost impossible to reach by phone. Ultra long hold times.
I ordered a new rear tire last week and it STILL isn't here.
I ordered a front tire and two helmets from Competition Accessories and it all arrived by Monday.
Huge difference.
My next orders are going to be from Competition Accessories.
Best wishes,
Trwhouse :)
I'm not sure about for OEM parts, but rockymountainatvmc.com is a pleasure to deal with. I have used ronayers.com for parts in the past, but I'm not a fan of their new site design for parts. partzilla.com is great for Honda parts, but for Suzuki parts their prices on the fiches are all messed up and it doesn't inspire confidence.

Ive used ronayers as well in various gs' over a decade. also used gstwin classifieds too. whomever it concerns if you think his prices are too high, make an offer, if no go, then walk away. been ages since i had purchased rebuild kits so cannot say what they went for.
Kits arrived today, and after a little confusion, all is well.
Thanks reminor.
