Still there. Is it the same part for K5 S?


Can't seem to find the answer online...

See that's good to know and it is now out in the public domain. You have done us Suzuki owners a favour. Thanks Bibio, again!

how to x'ref parts:
first go here https://www.ronayers.com/oemparts/#/...torcycle/parts then pick the year of bike, then pick the model, then look for the part.

once you have found the part then copy the part number and go to Robinsons Foundry https://www.robinsonsfoundry.co.uk/ and from the part number above paste it in to the "search this site" box and then press the magnifying glass. this will then bring up the part, what i like about Robinsons it will also give the promotional price if there is one.

now a little secret about Robinsons Foundry. if your in the UK and the part is full price you can enter TLZO into the code box and it will give you 10% off.

if you want to x'ref parts you can paste the part number here https://www.ronayers.com/ into the Suzuki part number search on the left hand side then press the red search button. it will bring up the part number and at the left it will say "where used" click on that and it will bring up a list of bikes the part is used on, you can then click on one of the links and see where that part is on another bike. this sometimes does not give a full list so you need to manually check other years of the bike you are looking at parts for https://www.ronayers.com/oemparts/#/...torcycle/parts

In the past I've used https://en.microfiches.net/ to get motorcycle part numbers and info on what other bikes the parts have been used on.

thats a bit harder to navigate. i like Ronayers as it gives all the fiches for a certain bike on one page.

The site I linked to tells you what different market variations of each model are available but your one lumps them all together without any explanation.
Your one is based in the USA, mine is local.

Good that there are choices and its a far cry from the dark days before the internet.

I bought the MC rebuild kit from Brooks Barn - they have been alright in the past with with seals and other stuff and i got my starter motor rebuild kit from them and not had any issues.

I looked at the price of a new MC - which was about £150. by the time you pay that it is almost worth considering a Brembo unit. So i thought i would take my chance on a decent second hand one which i managed to pick up at a reasonable price but it only arrived yesterday so i have not fitted it yet.

If you are ordering quite a few parts - https://www.motorcyclespareparts.eu/en - are quite reasonable and have come out cheaper than robinsons (but i didn't know about the discount code before).

If you are after K Tech springs or emulators. Reasonable prices from http://firefoxracing.co.uk/ and I have just bought some this morning from them. Was about £160 for both which i thought was good.
