Good question. Partly because the local Suzuki dealers here in the UK don’t hold stock parts for 2004 bikes and while they will order them in for me and add on a surcharge for doing so, I don’t want to wait ages.

Who? Are they perhaps American parts resellers?

I take it you didn’t notice that both the links I posted were for genuine OEM parts?
The question was really meant to read “do I need one, the other or both”. Do you know if I need one, the other or both gaskets? I don’t know, you see, and the Clymers manual, along with the micro-fiches online at Fowler’s Parts & CMSNL aren’t clear.
