500 Two-Stroke Tech

Hello, I received the following notice from an overseas contact who I bought some RG500 fork snap rings from. The local-ish dealer here in Canada Snow City Cycle said they were EOL... and well they seem not so interested in sales online. Here it is........ As you have bought from me before, I though...

I try to post pics later to liven up this place!

Hello,

Trying to figure out what fork oil I should get for a stock RG500 fork rebuild.
The manual states "Suzuki Fork Oil #15 / 99000-99044-15G

Hello, I did some searching on the forum and found steering head bearing part numbers for a steel frame RZ-500 22-1004 at all balls. However, my RZ500 friend has an aluminum frame from Japan. The bearings are no in great shape. Does the steel frame RZ500 have the same bearings as the aluminum frame?...

Hello, We have been working on re-installation of standard pistons on our RZ500 project bike. We have new oem rings for stock original pistons. It seems one top ring groove is dirty as the new ring just won't go in perfectly. We suspect carbon buildup. Is there a small piston ring groove cleaner out...
