Does anybody know if the intake manifold boots off a 1980 550 l usa import will fit 1982 usa 850 gl.I need boots and have a 550 l in my brothers shed.Conan

Hi,

The fist thing to do is check the part numbers. If they are different then they will probably not be interchangeable.

Or have a look here (found it on some guy's website):

(Free) Parts Cross-Reference Procedure - using a couple of our favorite online resources.

CLICK HERE to download a PDF guide for the Alpha-Sports site cross-reference.
(Note: If the newer part numbers return no results, use the older, superseded numbers.)
1. Start here:

http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm

2. Find your bike by year and model. Select the part you wish to reference.

3. Identify the part number, right-click and copy the part number.

4. Then use Babbit's cross-reference utility here:

http://www.babbittsonline.com/suzuki-motorcycle-parts

5. Under the "Parts Search" heading, make sure the "Select:" pull-down menu says "Suzuki".

6. Under the "Parts Search by Model" heading, make sure the pull-down menu says "Suzuki".

6. Right-click and paste the part number copied from Alpha-Sports into the box labeled "Part:".

7. Click "Quick Lookup".

8. In the results box click the "Select Model" link.

You are then presented with a pop-up box with every model that the referenced part will fit.

Note: Alpha-Sports also has a parts cross-reference in the pull-down menu under "Special Tools", click "Parts Finder: All".


Thank you for your indulgence,

Cheers bass cliff looks like they won`t fit even though they look identical.Conan

[tkent02]

They might fit.
I would try if I had them sitting around. Buying new ones is the way to go.

Cheers ordered them online and got good deal from usa.Does anybody know if the screws that are for idle adjusting (4) of them at top of each open hole where choke sliding bar is can be replaced there not showing up on parts diagram.2 are seized.Conan

[tkent02]

The screws are still available, try Z1 Enterprises. They might be closed the next few days.

[bwringer]

The o-rings are the same size, but the boots have different part numbers.

I suspect the offset is different.

[Steve]

I would think that the 550 boots would be closer to the 650 boots than the 850.

I can tell you for sure that 650 boots will not work, so I will guess that the 550 boots will NOT fit your 850.

Had a look at z1 enterprises still cant find the screws does anybody have a part number.Also just discovered the screws are not moving are not flat,pozi or philips head they look like 2 v`s facing each other with small gap in middle.What sort of screwdriver would this be,the 2 that are moving are flat heads.Conan

[john82q]

2 v`s facing each other with small gap in middle.

Buggered flatheads??? or the staked in "dont adjustme " anti pollution caps.

[angus]

Probably the "staked in "dont adjustme " anti pollution caps" whatever they are.Should 2 only be able 2 be adjusted,have the haynes manual on order will have it soon so it`s just guess work at moment.Conan
