DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

A note to old forum members...
I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...
Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

How Suzuki part numbers work

Here's what I was able to figure out today

If a standard bolt is being specified the dimensions are in the part number.
If a standard bearing is being specified the standard number is in the part number.
There isn't two part numbers for the same part. If Suzuki is still using a part after first putting it on a bike 20 years ago it'll have the same part number. If they designed a new part that could replace the old part the number will have been supersceeded.

Examples
Rear wheel bearing: 08143-63037
This is a 6303 Bearing, very common

Bolts:
01517-06308
This is a 06 mm x 30 mm bolt

In both cases use your own judgement, it doesn't appear to me that screws use this format. If the size is appears to be way off then it probably is.
