HELP - KH400 engine mountings

Post by sulleysteve »

Hi I'm a newbie on here & renovating a 1975 KH400. The bike is missing the lower rubberised engine mounts . I've tried everywhere & can't locate any. Seeing as the rubbers deteriorate after 50+ years what do people do ? Any suggestions please ??

Hi

You could try www.hard-to-find-parts.de

I know they have h1 & kh500 rubber mounts.

Worth asking if they do them for a kh400.

1975 400 models were S3A, 1976on were KH400..... In any case, I don't believe any 400 had rubber mounts.

There are some for sale on American eBay - but expensive - and not the full set as far as I can see.

Or there is a discussion here about using Suzuki parts (on a 500)

All 400s came with rubber mounted engines hence no joints in the exhaust Thumbs Up
