Part # search online.

[mattydefran]

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a website I can go to to look up a suzuki factory Part #. I just purchased a 1980 Gs850 it came with a brand new petcock still in the suzuki box, but it turns out it is the wrong one for my bike so I am trying to find out what year it fits so I can try to sell it or something to get some money back. The part # is:

44300-45372

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like a good variety of bikes.

Also looks like your bike is on the list.

Why doesn't it fit?

CRC2 also stocks reasonably priced new petcocks. This one isn't rebuildable.

I am beginning to wonder if someone has the wrong petcock in the right box. There is an auction on ebay right now that has the petcock that matches the one currently on my tank.

The one pictured in the auction does not look like the one that I have in the box that came with the bike.

something kinda fishy goin on here 8)

Sounds like there's a good reason the previous owner gave you the petcock in a box instead of installing it himself!

CRC2 has some better pictures that might help:

I can also highly recommend their blue polyurethane fuel line. It's amazing stuff -- durable and long-lasting, with just the right amount of flex so you can install and remove it easily yet you don't need clamps. It's also amazingly resistant to kinking and doesn't harden over time.

You'll need 5/16 for the main fuel line, but I can't remember whether you need 1/4 or 3/16 for the vacuum line. Order a bunch -- it's cheap.
