CYLINDER WORKS Cylinder Kit without piston for SUZUKI DRZ 400 2000-2018

On SUZUKI DRZ 400 from 2000 to 2018, the CYLINDER WORKS 41001 cylinder kit fits in place of the original part. A cylinder that is scored, oval or has a damaged coating loses compression and wears pistons out quickly. Rather than having it rebored and recoated, this kit replaces it with a new, ready-to-fit cylinder.

Specifications

• Brand: CYLINDER WORKS
• Manufacturer part number: 41001
• Engine: 4-stroke

When to replace it?

• Cylinder scored or coating flaking after a seizure.
• Ovality or taper out of tolerance when measured with a micrometer.

Measure the cylinder at every piston change. As soon as it falls outside the tolerances in the manual or is scored, it has to be replaced or reconditioned.

Fitting tips

1. Carefully clean the top of the crankcase and cover its opening before removing the old cylinder.
2. The cylinder comes without a piston: fit a new piston kit of the stated bore, with its rings, pin and circlips.
3. Use new gaskets, either those in the kit or a suitable top end gasket kit, and tighten the cylinder and head in a criss-cross pattern to the manufacturer's torque.
4. Fit a new spark plug and refill the coolant.
5. Break the engine in gently for 3 to 4 hours, as Athena recommends for its cylinder kits.

Why CYLINDER WORKS?

Cylinder Works makes new, not remanufactured, cast-aluminium cylinders to the original design. The bore is electroplated with nickel silicon carbide and diamond-honed to exact size: an alternative to an OEM cylinder or a re-plate, with a forged Vertex piston matched to the cylinder in some kits.
