Katana Owners Club U.K.

isnt that when a bolt is superceded or something like that ? so keep the first number and change thye last bit ? i dunno. just a guess

Pete

I wiil try to explane. It depends on catalouge's year of issue and database. The same detail can be used on different bikes. That's why there are 5 extra digits

The first part of the part number 01547 means in this case bolt of lentgh size etc
the second is the bike it was first fitted to 06455 could be a code for anX7 , or a TS 250. anything before the Kat , or even the kat, maybe

It is done for sourcing parts from suppliers lists , and these numbers wont tell you anything about thread , length etc . A mechanic/ parts man won't need to know that to order it he just knows the part number.

What the difference in numbers does tell you, is they are different thats all.

Just forget about that numbers. Swap them to your 1100 and done.

Yes, if you mean GSX1100SD 1983

Just spoke to Martin at Crooks Suzuki............asnd he tells me that as Mick has already pointed out the last 5 digits give info on the size,length and the coating of the part.

so 06458 would be 06=6mm 45=45mm length and the last digit 8 is the coating!

3=ZINC OLIVE DRAB
5=BLACK
6=ZINC ,GOLD PASSERVATE
7=CHROME
B=BLACK
8=ZINC BZP

but as usual...............there are exceptions to the rule....................

I can't wait to drop that bit of information into a conversatiion.

Where's the anarok smiley when you need it?

Mick asked the question!

i just answered it!

Oh.........the anorak is on gas rigg...............

Yes but they'll go dull and tarnish eventually..........what you really need is chrome m8!

Yours is an Import then..........and uses the same forks a as the GS550M Katana.

So you'll need some GS550M fork seals !
