"Has anyone out there done an overhaul on a 1980 2 clyinder DT65? I want to overhaul mine, bad lower rings will not idle. I found 99.9% of the parts at Browns Point, 1 single part is discontinued. It is a "labyrinth Seal Ring" it sets between the two cylinders. Is it and absolute "must" replace item???? It breaks my heart to think this motor will end up in a dumpster over such a small part.

My sources tell me that the seal part#
12321-95204 is still available from Suzuki.
I have been told that they even have stock at the

"Thanks for the part number!!!! Is replacing this seal an absolute MUST for a good overhaul?????

It looks to me like the crank will need to be split to replace this seal. I called every Suzuki authorized service center here in Arizona and Southern California, not a single one can press the crank shaft apart.

All told me the 2 piece cranks are "un-serviceable" and must be replaced as an assembly with rods. I Googled "Labyrinth Seal" what I read was, this type of seal is a non contact seal with an almost infinite service life. Is replacing this seal an absolute MUST for a good overhaul?????}"
