Gonna by a few small parts tomorrow and was wondering what you would get? Not spending alot but some 'just in case' parts. Doing my '10 service in March.
Plan on getting:
 clutch bushings
 Rear wheel spacer
 spacer inside rear rim
 pinion cup
 Thrust Washer

If you buy a pinion cup, buy a driveshaft as well. They need to be changed together.

So if I have a low milage ds that looks good, it wouldn't work? Well it may work, just not correctly?  ???

If the pinion cup is worn, the driveshaft that was in it is equally worn.

If you replace one, then the other will very shortly be worn just as bad.

But, yeah, if you had a good driveshaft sitting around, a new pinion cup is fine...just examine that DS carefully for wear before using it.

I agree with the driveshaft and cup but I also dont see seals or the orings for the rear. Spacers aren't usually needed unless a bearing goes and eats them up so I would say bearings rather than spacers. A good grease too.

  If these parts aren't worn out, why are you getting them? My '98 Tourer still has th original drive splines and DS/Pinion Cup. The clutch bushing is $3-4 at a Suzuki dealer. ALL metric bikes with hydraulic clutches take the same bushing. The spacer inside the rear rim doesn't wear out unless you let a bad wheel bearing go bad and didn't remove it in time. I rode with a bad left wheel bearing from Knoxville to Orlando and then back to my home in Mesa, AZ(2300 miles). The bearing fell out in pieces but the spacer was fine. Get 2 thrust washers (you never know).
