For those assembling a bottom end, case halves, for the first time.
After validating fork positions, and gear range I found only a couple interesting issues. I actually went back, and double checked everything from sealant bead on the inside, and outside, to generally assembly.
I lubricated the transmission, fork grooves, and rotating gears with 10w40 Amsoil. Rotated the transmission until free from the Redline which does actually have a heavy viscosity to it if left for a short time.
I then thought to lubricate the open ended bearings individually which required I remove the output shaft seal. Just for good, thorough attention to detail I removed it, and VOILA, there was the newly acquired shaft drag I noticed after things sat for a couple days.
For those on a first build, please assess gear shift range order, fork seating in their respective grooves, and rotational freedom prior to installing the output shaft seal. Once you do, there will be a significant increase in rotational resistance of the input(clutch side), and output(chain gear side) shafts required to rotate the gear shafts. It is a noticeable increase that might catch you off guard, this being a first time through the assembly.
Please also remember the four dowel pins, and a thorough cleaning of the sealant bead surfaces outlined in the manual, before squeezing your Suzuki bond in the right places prior to assembly. Once you squeeze, or finger the sealant in place, time is of the essence !. Torque to specs, and check your beads, rotation of crank, and transmission.
Have a good time !.
