61273-29F00 as shown above :thumbsup:

i looked at that part # , but what i am try to say is that the online picture of the part does not match the oe chain buffer on my bike mine has 3 mounting tabs and the one online does not ? help?

smoked shoulder said:

Ok, well let me look at something.. But just in general.. The pictures in parts books and manuals often lie...

This one fits all DRZ S, E, and kicker






This one fits the SM

It's just a extra hole in the swing arm, so I supose the SM one can be fit to an E, S, or Kicker. But thats not how they come as far as I know.

subscribed for future use.

so am i supposed to use the one in the picture or try to get one that is exactly like mine

it will fit. got one for mine a while back.

Talk to the parts guy and agree to order the part for the correct year, make, and model. If it is incorrect, or does not match the one that you have, they should NOT make you pay for it..............or, better yet, order the correct one as stated above and the one for the SM. Take whichever one fits. :thumbsup:

i want the one that fits, the buffer that came off the bike is a stock piece and it has 3 mounting screws and the sm one does also but ti has a wing possibly could cut wing off , but i just dont understand how my bike out of who knows how many drzs that are made, can mine be different

It seems as if you are unwilling to order them......:excuseme:

A good parts supplier should work with you to get the right part without charging you for the wrong one.

this is the problem i ran into when i went to the moto shop on thursday the parts guy had me bring in my chain buffer on fri because he could not understand why the pic does not macth my piece so he called suzuki parts direct and waitng to here back , iam not trying to cause to much controversy , just confused in part difference thanks

Ok, like Bronco stated originally, sometimes the pics aren't perfect. Can you take a picture of yours for us to see?

it looks just like the sm one minus the wing i will try to post a pic tomorrow

Wheeling cycle supply has this one....



Its tough to see but its folded over. Looks like the one in the Fiche just laying backwards on itself.

Consider what others have said and that previous owners or mechanics may have modified it without your knowledge.
