Does anyone know what year Katana center stands fit the 88 GSX600FJ?

Would a

work for my bike?

The spring doesn't come with it. Would this spring work for a 96 Suzuki Katana GSX-F 750 Center Stand 40B?

No. Post stand uses a slightly different setup so that won't work.


Your better off, unless you can find a complete "set" of the hardware to go with in a pile on ebay for stupid cheap(you gotta know what your looking for though....), to just buy new springs/bolts and the spring plate your going to need, from a reputable dealer.


Check this for example on prices...

http://www.mrcycles.com/oemparts/a/suz/50d40b16f8700230d8b5000d/stand

2 bolts.
2 springs.
spring hook
2 spacers


You can also check your local dealer and ask them to match the online prices to save in shipping.


On the other hand, are you missing other hardware and stuff or is this ONLY a project for the center stand? I ask because there are lots of the "katana misc bolt sets" taken from bikes.


This slightly high priced example has both of the springs and the spring hook clearly shown (it's the only reason I'm linking this example) and has lots of other stuff too...

Does you no good to buy that though if you only need the center stand stuff. You can buy all new for cheaper using the link above. Generally the center stand was standard on the 750s, but optional on the 600s... so it's really only going to be the 750 bolt kits that you find the stuff for the stand mixed in.


Don't know what all you got going on, so... consider the options and pick what's best.

Thanks Krey for searching these things out for me. This looks like a good parts source. I have a question about the parts listed for the stand. These are a couple of the bolts listed and I'm not sure which one I need. They are listed as
.BOLT MODEL K/L/M/N/P
and .BOLT MODEL R/S/T
I'm not sure what the letters stand for. Can you help me out with this?
also I didn't see the spring plate listed
Thx

Parts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are what you need.


Year model = matching letter. J = 88, K = 89, and so on.

OK, yeah I thought that might be what it was but wasn't sure. Trying to get used to the way Suzuki parts are ordered. Appreciate the help
