Directory

Slots, not prices.

OEM numbers and prices are empty on purpose. Enter an OEM number only when it has been copied from the official parts catalogue for that VIN, and enter a price only with the date it was seen. Do not fill either from memory or from a forum.

Measured figures and torque are on the specs pages, from Haynes manual 4298. An OEM number is copied only from the official catalogue diagram for that VIN, then checked against the casting. This directory does not guess one, and it does not print a pound range without a date and a listing.

Top end

Rotax 122 and Rotax 123 top ends do not share pistons, barrels or gaskets. Identify the engine before ordering.
