That link is for the wrong part number.

They were never used on other bikes, only
the 79/80 RM400

All websites list as obsolete

Look at Partsshark Suzuki USA website, there seem to be 3 different size studs, and all are available from suzuki aust.

There you go, I know that many models use the stud I referenced above but the 400 is an oddball it appears.

Send me the dimensions of an old stud if you have one and I will see what might match up.

Yeh never used them on any other bike, bugger!

Here's a thread on the same issue from about 18mth ago:

I don't have a stud that I can check, but I believe the image below to be correct

Am happy if I dont get the titanium option  8)

Help yourself out here mate. What length do you require ? The cylinder heads can be counterbored, shorter studs may still give you 6 threads of nut engagement, longer ones are obviously no problem.
If you love it, lube it.

59mm would be perfect, just like the pic above!

I'm not into machining anything out at this stage, cheers anyway.
