Parts

[MickyJB]

Our bikes are getting older, I'm wondering what would be the parts to source while we can.

Hardest parts to obtain?

Most common things that can go wrong?

Etc

Sensors, ive collected a few

How many does it have ? I know of the TPS and the one on opposite side 🤔

Micky, theres quite a few. Ill count em up later, maybe a list of them.

Many lots more than that.

Off the top of my head -

TPS - I'm on my 4th
SPS - I'm on my 2nd
Oil temp sensor = I'm on my 2nd
Oil pressure
MAP, manifold absolute pressure
External air pressure - same part as the MAP
Intake air temp
Cam sensor
Crank sensor
Speedo sensor - I'm on my 2nd, but that was my mistake & the chain caught the wiring
Gear position sensor

That's all I can think of as I've only been awake about 30mins.

Oh & if you see second hand coils, they've been NLA from Suzuki for years & years.,

All i can add, Fuel level sensor, Atmospheric Pressure sensor, Tip over sensor , Voltage Sensor/regulator, Fan cut in sensor. Rider mode sensor, is he happy or had crap day, they are the hardest to find.

Maan! That's a lot of sensors.. I was hoping these bikes were simple 
The last one is easy ... always happy on a bike

These bikes ARE simple! try a modern injection system that has stuff like fuel temp to further refine injection timings & that's before you get to O2 sensors in the exhaust, knock sensors etc

Yeah I was being a bit TIC 😃

I was checking out the on line site for Mick Hone Suzuki, it has some useful schematics on the bikes, parts list etc etc also has prices which are a bit of a shock but that's genuine Suzuki so to be expected I guess.

Gee, I´ve got 50k km´s on the K5 and never changed any sensor. Never really changed anything besides consumables (filters,..) Guess mine´s really bullet proof. Was looking now for a 2nd bike in 2nd hand, BMW S1000XR, but with so much new tech guess I can no longer do everything without taking it to the shop. So, that´s what´s putting me off.

[GSXKING]

I'm the same 2001 Blue & White no sensors ever replaced.
A fuel pump once.
Nearly 160,000+kms so far and many more to come

TPS at 60K, other than that bulletproof, had 1982 GSX1100EZ which was much the same.

I got TPS for £47 recently plus £10 delivery, they list at £97 in the UK so I ordered two. Took about a week to arrive.

My parts should last forever as I never ride the bike haha, I've just looked and she's done 1200 miles in 4 years. She's cleaned and I've changed fork seals , chain & sprockets etc but that's it.
