Suzuki bearing colors?
I've got an 0 gixxer1k scattered apart and I coulda swore the color on the rod bearing was blue. According to someone at ronayers, there is no blue. The bearing description on the microfiche mentions no colors, only a, b, c or d. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Suzuki uses Green, Black, Brown, and Yellow inserts. Green gives the most clearance and they get thicker from there in the above order. I would measure or find someone who can so you get a proper fit. You do have a shop manual ?

I'm not sure what an "0" model is, but the '05 engine can have blue *main* bearings. Sometimes the factory installs special-sized parts that are not available through normal channels. For example, I have seen white bearings and #194 valve shims.

Upon further inspection, they're green. Thanks for the help, guys.
