Thanks Petey.  I did call 2 wheel and they quoted $30ish for the clutch lever and $70ish for the brake lever.  Does that sound reasonable?  So you think any bandit parts will be interchangeable?  There are some levers on ebay but don't say for 650s.  I work in Guelph but live in Toronto.


Was that for factory stuff or aftermarket? If it's aftermarket, sounds a bit steep to me but could have been high end stuff. If so, not bad.
Not sure yet about interchangability between models. I have the same problem as you except I've got an '06. I'm still waiting for a reply from a friend that works for Suzuki to see what fits what from what years. I'll let you know what he comes up with.

One thing I do know is that the '05 650 and 1200 are pretty much identical and the '06 650 and 1200 as well. Other than the engine and exhaust of course. That should help a bit.

Hi naturallgirl, try this link
 http://www.bellssuzuki.com/fiche_select.asp?vcc=Motorcycles&mfg=Suzuki
to do a parts comparison. It's pretty self explanitory, gives part numbers and pictures.
Good luck.

That's because you have a 650 and the US never got that bike, so US sites won't be listing it. If you can get the part numbers of parts you want and then look up earlier 600/1200 Bandits or '07 1250's on US sites to see if what you're looking for is the same p/n, that may help.


Oh yeah!! duh! I keep forgetting about that!  :grin:
Uhm... yeah,.. what Red said,.. I second it. :wink:

Another representative of the great white north here, 25 and not a man, but the Bandit still wins out.
I keep looking at it...hoping the weather would warm up. The bike, 1200 k5, is from QC so somebody there rode it (a lot judging by the mileage) it's been stock...up till now. I should be naked, with a slip on/jet kit by summer.
Glad to see others are watching the snow as hopefully as I am.


Now that's something I just can't wait to see!!! :shock:
But leathers would be a safer riding option!  :motorsmile:

 :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  just noticed this now! In that vein here's a funny vid

I'm also one of the few riding a Bandit and I'm located in Ottawa. My ride is a new 2006 Bandit 650S that I picked up very late last fall. I went from an '04 Marauder VZ800 back to a UJM sportbike and the best example I could find was the Bandit 650S in black with the white Euro style turn signal lights. My only mods to date are a dark tint front windshield and a rear seat cover, both made by Powerbronze out of the UK.

One more 650s in Toronto, eh!
Picked up an 05 650s last summer.  Bike was stock with a set of Givi bags. Rode it to FL and back the day after I picked it up.  Good commuter and sport tourer, for me at least.
Great bike, lots of fun.   
Want to go to Kelowna this summer (July).  Thinking of top case and maybe a heated vest.

Just links... flickr's pix have files that don't end in .jpg, .gif, ;bmp, etc. so their pic's links won't work in our image tags.
