Title: oil pan part number?
Post by: cjp on August 26, 2012, 12:35:00 PM
Looks like we cross threaded the drain plug last night, and what should have been a routine filter/oil change turned into a bike breakening. :/

I've read a bunch of threads here about other folks who have re-tapped, and that isn't something I've everdone before, so buying the tools is probably as much as just getting a new pan. I at least want to price it out. 

A fair number of threads here have listed sites where they;ve found pans for what I'd consider reasonable prices, but they all require a part number search- which I haven't found anywhere.

Anyone have the part numbers for:

oil pan
oil pan gasket
drain plug bolt

?

Thanks in advance!

Your best bet to see how the prices run would be to use the parts fiches that many parts sellers have available on their website for finding the parts you're looking for.  The part numbers given on the list that goes with these fiches vary by seller, though.

I looked at a couple just to compare the part numbers, and the pan is $50-60, and the plug and gasket together look to run you an additional $2-6.  You can probably find better prices if you shop around.

Finally found one:

The part numbers vary by seller?? Thats absurd.

Thanks.

Not really.  The fiches/parts list are there to help you find parts that are sold by that seller -- the numbers in the list are their numbers, not Suzuki numbers.  Even though they may (or may not) resemble the oem number, they don't always match exactly.
