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

[fossie]

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.

[Pedda]

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

[Sergio]

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?

[bobster]

Mick asked the question!

i just answered it!

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

[bobster]

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

[bobster]

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

So you'll need some GS550M fork seals !
