Suzuki T500

[RustyRD]

I have the chance to get a T500 two stroke, my question is parts for crank repair and other issues, I understand the tend to crack heads, which this one has. I do not know price yet, so I am looking for some advice from the wise sages here.

OEM crank bearing I believe are NLA but you can use CrusinImage or fit different bearings into an adapter sleeve. heads can be welded and machined to a nice new squish shape which would be more efficient as well as fixing the cracks.  Or fit inserts (domes) into the stock head shell.

somebody in europe was reproducing them i think, or the adapters.

there are billet heads available, as well. i love my t500. the bigger issue is 5th gear, 72 and back had an issue, but 73 and up are fine. mines a 72 and 5th gear is noisy, always has been and eventually i'll have to change it im sure. NOVA in the uk makes replacements.
