washers and stuff - SV650.org

Where do people buy washers and seals? My bike is having a bit of a front end overhaul this weekend and I need to get some damping rod washers. Do you use Suzki parts dealers or is there somewhere online I can buy the bits?

Also a recommended list on seals to replace when servicing brakes and forks would be lovely!

Thanks
Luke

Sounds like you're completely stripping the forks, a Hanes manual or wokshop manual's going to be essential. I've only ever replaced the fork oil and springs on a set of forks, but I'd suggest that unless there is a known problem with a fork seal or bush, that this would be addequate?

Other than that, new brake caliper seals are always nice. Depends what needs doing?

Not entirely just fitting emulators - Got a haynes manual - which recommend using new damping rod washers. My question really is do I need to swing by a dealer and buy them from there, or can I order them from somewhere online.
