Thanks Dink. The reason I ask is that they have two different part numbers.

Indeed they are but from recollection they are physically identical.

look at the rear cover, it will have the power rating of the starter listed there.
mine is rated at .7Kw, (700 watts) higher is better.

The different part numbers could be because Suzuki used different Mfg. even in the same years(ND and ?), also if memory serves me some starters are two brush units and others have 4 brushes. My experience has been that if it will bolt up and the overall length from the pinion gear to the case is close, it will work.

My 400's starter looks identical but lacks an output bearing. It has all the same parts too, except that the inside of the output cover does not have a recess for the bearing.
