Which points?

Post by verminator »

The bike runs perfectly after its full engine rebuild and has now covered 1000 miles, so will need a new set of points soon. There seems to be a load of different sets on the market and I assume some are better than others. Can you recommend a quality set, or are the Suzuki genuine ones the only way to go?
Thanks.

Why would you need new points after 1000 miles?
Just check them (if you must) and if they are worn - with a 'tit' on one face and a small cavity on the other, THEN they need replacing.
Otherwise leave them alone.

Sorry didn't explain properly. New points weren't put in when the engine was done as they were in good nick, but have to assume they have now done a fair few miles now but will of course have a look and get the emery paper out ready, but did want to get a set for when I need them.

Noooooo! Don't use emery paper or sandpaper on points they have a special coating on them nowdays and they deffo won't work if you damage the surface. Just use a piece of clean card.
I know we used to emery paper them in the old days :D
