In October 2000, I asked the order taker
at Competition Accessories for the plug from the DR650. Of course I
couldn't tell him what year bike, so he just winged it. What I got
was Suzuki part#09259-36016-20H (what it said on the invoice), which
supposedly comes from the '92-'95 DR650S. It's cost me about
US$8.00. It would be wise to double check the part#'s just in case
that was some sort of internal part number at Competition Accessories.
It also made me wonder if the plug changed substantially after '95
(somehow I doubt it).
It was an exact fit and color match. The nice part is that by using a 10mm allen key, you can remove and replace it without any damage due to improper fitting tools. Plus it looks pretty cool. You might want to add a 10mm allen key to your toolkit, just in case you need to remove or tighten it on the road. You'll need to re-use the o-ring from your current timing plug (part# 09280-33004), or purchase a new one. This of course assumes you can get your current plug out. |

I'm sure you'll be able to rig something up to do the job. Just make sure whatever you use fits nicely in the slot and does not bend easily. |
