I think it was the 2000 gsxr750 that had the same size seal not the 600 but ive never compared just sure i read it somewhere. You could buy one at a cost of about £6 but if it dont fit please dont blame me.
You could maybe post on a gixer forum for a size.

If by chance you get stuck with nothing matching up I have a friend in Japan that can order parts. He does charge a fee depending on the amount you order.

Spoke to my mate who runs a bearing and seal supplies and if you can get an old one over to me we will see if there's an available alternative to OE.

Morris sent me a link from Robinsons the one he got, but to get all 16 it will cost me £90 :O
i have one of the old ones that is in goodish condition i could sent that if you think you are able to get them done cheaper

just feel so good to see riders go to the extreme to help each other...
when i asked something in a singapore car forum regarding my car, they only replied with jokes & insult... what a shame...

Ive got an old seal here that i could send you VVS. As aboth, i gave the part number to rob (aka Marsbar), seems the price has gone up by £1 per seal.
