Help - Suzuki Parts in Peru?
 

Hi, I am looking for some advice re getting Suzuki parts in Peru. I am currently in Nasca riding a Vstrom DL1000 that has developed an oil leak from the countershaft drive shaft. I need to get a new drive shaft oil seal and O-ring. I bike is still rideable, just a bit of mess from the oil leak and smoke from oil on the exhaust, also topping up engine of lost oil.

I am asking for advice on where to get replacement parts? Peru or Chile? We were originally intending to go to Cusco after Nasca, but alternatively we could go to Lima or Arequipa or south into Chile depending on which is best or easiest to get parts? I don't know if either the 650 or 1000 Vstrom is sold in Peru, but both are available in Chile, so guess parts are also available.

I could do the replacement myself except I need a 32mm socket and extra long socket handle to get the countershaft sprocket nut off, so I guess that means I also need a workshop with tools.

If we have to order parts and wait, I guess Cusco would be a good place to hang out, we could do the 4 day Inka trail to kill some time?

Any advice welcome!

Something went wrong with my post.
Anyway the link takes you to Suzuki Peru.
You should be able to find the seal in a seal shop.
2007 Suzuki V-Strom (DL1000) TRANSMISSION | Xtreme Powersports Here´s a link to the part I think it is 32 and has the size on it. Hope that helps

Hi garrydymond, Thanks for the links, much appreciated.

The sprocket area thread - leak fixes & rebuilds! Here's a link you may have already seen.
If you discover the pushrod seal is leaking be careful when you put it in. Follow all the instructions and don't push it too far in as it can fall inside. This happened to me and I had to buy another seal. Just tap it (I did this with a socket) until it is flush then bolt everything back together.
Good luck.
