Hello

I have a friend that has given me a bike for free. It's a gsx400xs.
I found myself very lucky. There was only one problem. The engine was complete butt in pieces
so i have to put the engine back together.
I was searching for information about the bike and came to the conclusion that this engine type is
the same as the gsxr400 from the middle 80's.
But i can not find pieces for this engine.
Does anyone know where i could get a full gasket set for a gk71 engine?
I can make alot of the gasket's myself but not all.
example the ones who keep the oil in the head around the valve's...
If anyone could help me, i would be very happy.

btw sorry for my bad english.

thanx in advance kevin

Where are you based?

Hello

I'm from belgium. And i asked allready a lot of store's in belgium but most of them
don't know the bike so they don't want to help me. they probaly think they won't win any
money on it . But i'm willing to pay the price because i know it's rare to find and would
like to build the engine back in perfect shape if possible.

The engine is very similar to the gk73a and bandit4, the LH and RH engine cover gaskets are the same and some people run the RH gk71 cover on the B4 as it looks different. If you pay the postage ive old B4 cylinder head and base gaskets i could send over so you can compare as the B4 gaskets are easily found.
It would be worth downloading the 71a and bandit parts list from the manual section and comparing numbers.
