Best Parts websites?

[Guest]

Have an ‘82 GS850 that needs some replacement parts (Petcock, Stator, Gaskets, etc). Any suggestion for online Suzuki parts retailers?

Seeing a bunch of stuff on eBay and Amazon, but a good portion of those selling leave the part number and basic dimensions out of the listing.

Many thanks

Any Suzuki dealer, including your local one, but most of us use Parts Outlaw in Florida

I buy most of my OEM parts from Parts Outlaw....shipping is a bit slow but prices are good

Partzilla is good too. For a stator I like Rick's. They are more expensive, but worth it in my opinion.

I also do most of my shopping at Parts Outlaw. Rick's does have good stators, yes, they are a bit more expensive. I have had good luck with stators from Caltric at a considerably more-reasonable price.

Almost everything I've ever purchased for my bikes comes from these four locations:

Parts Outlaw for genuine Suzuki parts
Z1 Enterprises for aftermarket parts
eBay for better deals on the above, when I can find them
Walmart for Rotella 4 motor oil. (I order it online for those sweet, sweet bonus points on my credit card and then go in and pick it up.)

Z1Enterprises for aftermarket parts is the go-to place for me as well.

Likewise. + http://cycleorings.com for GS carb o-ring kits, proprietor Robert Barr is a member here

I like Partzilla because I own old Kawasakis, and for some reason, they are the only supplier that has the parts fiches for the old Kaws on their website. Pricing is competitive, and my order pretty much always ships complete in 3-4 days.

Free shipping on parts orders over $149 too.

I actually will typically load my shopping carts full of the exact same parts at both parts outlaw and partzilla, and compare total price with shipping.
Parts Outlaw is a big dealership with a substantial internet prescence. Partzilla is a big conglomerate huge online parts dealer, including boats.net or .com and others...

PartsOutlaw got a good chunk of change from me. I bought my exhaust and rear shocks from Z1.

EDIT: I was never in a hurry to get my parts.

I moved away from Parts Outlaw awhile ago when their shipping times became too great to be useful for "emergency" work, but still use them when I have plenty of lead time. Like Partzilla and I suspect most online retailers, they don't warehouse anything and are more of a parts gatherer/reshipper.

FYI: I just ordered 2 replacement cam cover screws and the tripmeter reset knob for the speedometer from Partsoutlaw. I thought $10 was a little high to ship 3 screw sized items so I searched for a discount code. It's funny because I searched on several coupon sites and did not find one and was resigned to spend $14, which was $6 less than Babbits wanted for the same items....and a second before I confirmed the transaction I look at the top of partsoutlaw page, the actual checkout page and it says enter 'OUTLAW19'

to get $5 shipping. So it appears partsoutlaw wants to give you $5 shipping but requires you to read their offer.... the sites that usually collect those coupons missed it. I backed up, entered the code, got $5 shipping and confirmed the transaction for just under $10. It's my first purchase with partsoutlaw.

one tip I can give is to go to the exploded diagram, get the actual suzuki parts number and then cross reference it in ebay and another parts site to get some clue what the value and availability of the part is. this eliminates sellers who don't know the part number of what they are selling but it's a start. I just had to replace the gear indicator switch because the neutral wire had broken at the sharp bend near the unit and the 2+4 wires were shorting to each other: Partsoutlaw wanted $54....Babbits wanted $55 and ebay had one for $14. I took my chances on the used one and it is working. It's a balancing act between value and reward.

Parts Outlaw are painfully slow, 10 days to two weeks wait. Sorry, I won't be going back there to save $5 on shipping anymore. My fav is Everett Powersports for whatever they sell. I realize they don't sell all the parts I am looking for but what they do sell they sell for a good price and they ship FAST!

Remember, no one has parts in their store for our bikes or even some of the newer models. They have to go to the warehouse to get them which can take up to a week. They then have to turn around and ship them to you. If you are using a local dealer like Everett would be to you, it wont take as long as going from Florida to the PNW. Parts outlaw is good because their prices are cheaper and I’ll shop there first for most things. However, if I’m in a hurry then I’ll suck up the extra cost and get it from my local shop
