it was very common for people to run a 77 / 78 rod barrel and head they did this because the 76 rods and pistons are hard to come by i was restoring one but moved it on for this reason i still have a .5os ring set here for one

Do you have an "A" motor?, may have a "B" crank or vice versa?. You can check your engine number on the Vintage Suzuki site to see what it is, check your other engine numbers at the same time. Also you need to check your bore/stroke.... RMA...56 x 50mm, RMB/C 54x54mm. Cheers John.

A 's had the old 14mm gudgeon (from memory) B's and on where larger 16mm gudgeon
Like DaveyCrocket said check the strokes maybe you have a B/C motor

Back to front Moto, the A's had the 16mm pin and the all the rest have 14mm   (the A bearing dimensions are 16x21x19.6mm

Okay I'm often a bit backward but I knew they were different

thanks for all the help everyone the motor im doing up is a 76 but the conrod has 19mm hole for small end bearing ,do u think it could be out of a mid 80,s motor. thanks again

You might have had a rod swap, which is a good thing, as a 19mm pin bore will take a 19 X 15mm bearing and most modern 125 pistons have 15mm pin bores
