It's time to change the timing chain on the Dr its done 31000 miles rattles quiet a lot under acceleration.
I'm making up a list of parts to order and thought I'd check with you what I need.

Chain
2 guides
tensioner
gasket for tensioner
Head gasket ?

Any other bits or anything else I should do at the same time not read my manuel yet :eek:

Has anyone the phone no. of a good suzuki dealer who'll do mail order ?

Thanks for help :thumb2

Your chain might be fine, start by changing the tensioner as they are a known problem.

So it's a 30,000 miler for repeatedly going to the garage and back? :augie

You should have bought it's replacement. :thumb

Fecking Suzuki bolts are shite. I've replaced all mine with stainless. Took a while but I hope it pays off in the long run. :thumb2

Might have to try them myself - the people I'm using at the moment are shite.

When I had the 1200 Bandit Sgt Pluck I used to get my parts from Crooks Suzuki in Barrow-in-Furness. I found them to be a friendly and helpful bunch.

Linky here.

Sorry for the hi-jack Forry. Carry on. :thumb2
