part number 49000 vs 49001, what models?

[Guest]

looking at a part with 49001 as second part of part number, would like to know whether it fits my bike which has 49000 as it's number, anyone know what model 49001 refers to?

Don't think it works that way. Check the part number where used application as available on sites like Partzilla.

It could be a minor difference that no one would notice or it could be an entirely different part. No way to know.

There are a few things, like fastener sizes, you can sometimes derive from part numbers, but this isn't one of them.

You can cross-reference part numbers on most parts websites, but it's not very obvious.


Punch in the whole part number here (or your favorite purveyor of Suzuki gubbins):

When you get the result, click "where used" and it will show you a list of the models that use that part.

If there are several links that come up, you may have a part that's been consolidated and superceded, so click each of the "Where Used" links to get the full list.

For example, if you try the current head gasket part number for an 83 GS850, 11141-49410, you'll find six "Where Used" links, and find that five or six part numbers have been superceded by the new part number. (Yes, the same head gasket is now used for all the 8-valve GS850, GS1000, and GS1100 engines. Seems weird, but it works fine.)

What's the rest of the part number?

If we know what the part is AND what bike you are talking about, we might know what the changes were.

It might have been as simple as a different finish or a different supplier, it's hard to say without knowing what it is.

11360-49001 chain cover for side of a gs1000 engine,, i've googled it and it doesn't come up, alpha sports say no longer available, it may even be a superceeded number?

Alphasports Fiche seems to show 61311-49001-019 for the 1980 GS 1000. Years 1978 and 1979 share 61311-49000-019. You might go to the fiche and look at the pics to see if there is any significant difference.http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_p...uki-bike-parts

Now that I know what part you are talking about, I can only verify that that cover is for all the chain-driven 1000s. Can't find the 11360-49001 anywhere, though. Thought it might be from the 1000 shafties, but that is 11360-49100.
