TM400 internal rotor ignition vs TS400 external flywheel. The TS400 doesn't have left bearing failures Mon, 04 Jan 2010 07:00:03 GMT Billy Spahr http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tmsuzuki/message/9465 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tmsuzuki/message/9465 I find your flywheel weighting interesting. I worked for a dealer when the first orange/red tank Cyclones came to the US. The bikes were a horror to ride.

Hoping to find something less expensive that still looks decent. i.e. correct length, correct pitch. Chris
