Welcome to the forum! Have a look around using the search function, there's a fair bit of info on rebuilding 2 stroke cranks.
Anyway, shorcut is:
Little end: 09263-16008 Big end: 09263-23015
Should be the same part numbers for the LJ20.

thanks for the welcome. The part number for the big end is different. The one I got is 09263-23001 I hope this doesnt mean that its different. Does anyone have the dimensions of the lj50 bearing? I want to find out for sure if they are the same before i order the lj50 big end bearings.

ok so i did some more research, I found out that the 6 and 7th digit is the id of the bearing, That means the id of the big end bearings should be the same. However I was told that the lj50 bearing is 15.7 mm wide, were as my lj20 bearing is 17.7 wide. Does this mean the lj50 bearing is 2 mm narrow and thats why it is a different part number? Can anyone confirm if the lj50 bearing is 15.7 wide?

My book tells me part number 09263-23001 is superseded to part number 09263-23007. My book lists part number 09263-23007 as being 1 x 09263-23005 bearing 29x47x2 brng 5x2 and 2x 09160-23010 washers so this means that the original bearings have been discountinued and replaced with a skinner bearing.
Also the rod has the part number 12161-67000 and is superseded to part number 12161-63200 ( LJ50 rod part number) so this means the LJ50 bearing outer size is correct and we just need to confirm the inner measurement now.
All info mation here taken from book part number 99924-97401 Suzuki automotive parts price price guide and iterchangeable parts listing 1997 and from part number 99000-92213 suzuki parts catlogue LJ50 printed may 1976

Ring suzuki and see if thy still sell these parts. part number 09160-23010. Since it is for two strokes and since suzuki still make outbaords and motorbikes they may still be current part number.
