Need some help with this Suzuki
« on: February 21, 2016, 02:41:16 PM »
I recently traded for a suzuki 750 with a guy. I have the title but I'm not sure the year is correct, or at least not for the motor. Can someone help me interpret the engine registration number?

gs75x-106909

Thanks Guys.

I looked at this before but it really doesn't have the information I need. Most of the sites I have found are for newer bikes with more than 11 characters. The title says its an 83, but the tank, sidecovers, and motor design says a little earlier. I don't even know the model number. I dont know if its 8v or 16v and I wanna start ordering parts for it. I live too far away from my garage to have time to take it apart just to find out.

 Pics might be helpful. And I have to ask....why join a Honda forum to ask a Suzuki specific question?
 I'm sure someone here will help if possible, but that's just....odd.

I have Honda's too and I was already a member of this forum. I just kinda figured it might help. Sorry the pic is upside down.

 Pic comes up right side up when I click on it. Weird.
 Wish I knew more about Suzukis and could offer something helpful. I have been kind of eyeing some older GS' s.... maybe a future project....

16 valves.
Looks like 80-82 to me.

Tank and sidepanels are different from European models so can't say anything about them.

Join the GS resources forum. I think I saw your bike posted.

Like here, plenty of good people willing to help. Not as busy but a good site.

Here is a great link.

Might be able to get the bike model from the carburators too.  Seems like they changed the carb model along with the bike in those days.

Vacuum carbs, guessing early to mid 80's.
