    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.

You can search buy item number or look through the fiche and order from there. Haven't bought anything from them yet but use the site for diagrams. Just thought you all might want to know.
 
Crotchrocket.com (JT Motorsports) has a very poor reputation around here -- no communication and very slow shipping. Several people waited months for parts, and were lied to when they called. I don't believe they've ever been known to actually answer an email, either.

Flat Out Motorcycles in Indianapolis also has excellent prices, and so far folks here have been mostly happy with their service. Plus, they're 20 minutes from my office in Indy, so I could go yell at them for you if needed... :)

The fiches are a service provided by PSN (Power Sports Network) to many different dealers. The dealer chooses whether to show part number, how much markup to charge, etc. The dealers order the parts from Suzuki, then ship your parts to you when they arrive at the dealer. None of these dealers has a warehouse of parts -- they all come from the same Suzuki warehouses.
 
I only use them (crotchrocket)for their fiche to identify Suzuki pn#'s. Bike Bandit doesn't have the info on the GLT model GS850. So I plug Suzuki numbers from crotchrocket into bikebandit and find that the parts have the description from a use in the 450, 650, etc. However, all the parts arrive as the item I looked up on crotchrocket.=D>
 
Crotchrockets fische is easier to read the numbers and etc... I also use them for that then order from Bike Bandit.
 
I have a new addition to add to this post. Turns out that my local dealer has put parts fiche online for Suzuki, Kawasaki and Yamaha. The place is called Bob Tracey's World of Cycles. I have made many purchases with them since my relocation to Pittsburgh and I am very satisfied with their service thus far. The prices have been lower than Alpha-Sports too. However, I have not had anything shipped since I pick up locally. All my parts have come in within 3-5 days if not in stock (the usual case).

The parts fiche can be found here. Go fiche!
