Well, thanks for trying guys.
I tried very hard to locate the part, went 70 miles out of the way to a Suzuki dealer only to be told that they could not order it for me. I was willing to stay for days waiting but finally went to a machine shop and had one made.
What happened to it?
Well, I happened to it if you must know.
I was on a very rough route from Yuni Bolivia to San Pedro Atacama (don't go the way I went!) when bike bike (coated with dried salt) started to sound like a two stroke so I though I might have burned a valve. the problem was my carb needle, it was not seating properly, easy to fix. Soon I was happily zooming across the sand once again, that was until I realized that I was also loosing my oil. When I took some stuff apart I had failed to snug the cap, it was beyond stupid! I used duct tape, a water bottle cap and the bottom of a  can over the next couple days. Anyway,
When I arrived to San Pedro on Fri, I changed the oil and filter.
Tonight I flushed the engine and changed the oil again. Yeah, I have my fingers crossed.
