Re: Long Shaft Conversion

I have never worked on a suzuki before, but most engines with a spacer can be converted.

you will probably need at least a new drive shaft and a new shift linkage.

you may have to modify the water pick-up tube.

you can contact suzuki and they will be able to tell you what parts you need.
