New to this forum, but will be grateful for your advice. I have a Suzuki DR350, 1995 model. It appears that the engine might have been changed at some time during the past 20-odd years (the external stamping does not relate the the engine number in the V5C!) I will discuss this with the DVLA in due course. But when opening up the crankcase the other day I was expecting to find a set of the same numbers stamped into both halves, indicating that they were a matched pair. I could not find any such numbers - on the inside of the cases one side had 94.07.07 126, the other 94.07.07 165.
Any thoughts on this? My old-skool experience tells me there should be some marking to indicate the relationship of the halves to each other, but modern manufacturing techniques might now render this detail un-necessary. And the engine works fine, by the way.
