i will have to try and find that artical Matt.unfortunatly i cant read it (to small and blurry)i tried the  direct link.but the same thing.soooo what does it say huh huh.give me the jest of it.

[mattcb350f]

If you get to the direct link, save it then open and magnify. but even then it's just barely readable. basically the article compliments Suzuki on the styling...."the TZ attempts to split the difference between custom and standard models....a clean, simple unpretentious motorcycle that looks more "classic" than "custom". There is, in fact, more than a hint of Triumph, circa late sixties...."
The article says nothing about performance etc.. must be before testing.
My eyes are sore..

A friend of mine had an `83 back in the day, was a great bike.

Here`s a readable copy of the article along with a 1983 brochure:




 

[neil young]

yes thats better..thanks

Everywhere but America its a GSX750TSCC 16 valve motor.(twin swirl combustion chambers, sill in use today in a slightly modified form)
Good as is and potential for stupid horsepower, even by todays standards. (don't go over 105bhp if your going to do long distance/long term ) Should be a lot of information (and parts) on just about anything you want to do with it.
Nice bike, I like them although I do prefer the 1100 (I was working in a Suzuki dealer when they were launched )

I've got a 1979 GS750E (8 valve engine) which is really nice, my ex-brother-in-law had the 16 valve engined bike, but I didn't like it as much, it was too "peaky" for me, you had to rev the ass off it to make it go, whereas the earlier engine was a lot "torquier".

Suzuki did the same with the early GSXR750 engine, which was "two stroke" like in it's power delivery. Dunno why, the 1100 engines were real "stump pullers" by comparison.

There are lots of things you can do with these bikes though, check out "The GS Resources" website, I'm just "Terry" there, I've also got a couple of GS1000S "Wes Cooley Replica's", a GS1000E, and a GS1000G. Great bikes, all of them. Cheers, Terry.

i heard you were the resident GS guy here Terry.i was hoping you would see this and chip in.will your oil cooler fit on the 750(with mods?)also any good shop manual downloads out there in cyber space?

[neil young]

Hey Chris and Terry.if you haven't checked out this site.do so NOW.
http://oldskoolsuzuki.info/
quite similar to this site.these guys and gals really seem to be into making there bike the best and fastest they can be.
my first post there a guy told me not to worry about getting to know the 750 to well because after being on there site ill want to squeeze a EFE in there and then big bore then nitrous

[Terry in Australia]

G'Day Neil, no mods are required mate, my GS cooler will fit all the GS models from the 750 to the 1100. I was making them long before I started on onda coolers.

I think (but aren't sure) that there are free online manuals for the GS' on The GS Resources site too.

I've got parts microfische cards for every Suzuki made from 1972 to 1988, and when I had access to a Defence Department reader/printer I could have made you a copy, but that was a few years ago, sadly. I've heard you can get something that will scan "fische" cards like a photo scanner, but don't know much about that. If you do, let me know?

Have fun on that GS Neil, and you're quite right, if you find that the 750 engine is too tame for you, good news is the 1100/1150 engine will fit in your frame, then you'll have a 7/11! Cheers, Terry.

[neil young]

the reason i asked about the oil coolers is i have one of yours in my garage for my 550(brand spanking new)i purchased it from you last year.with all that you sent me can i slap that bad boy on the Suzuki.or do i need a differant adaptor on the engine for the filter

[neil young]

hey Terry  look up 
on second thought just go back a page
i hate when that happens.first post on page 2

[Terry in Australia]

Sorry Neil, I meant that I do a cooler for Suzuki's as well as Honda's, so no, the Honda cooler won't fit your GS750. Here's a pic of the adapter I do for a Suzuki GS. You can use the cooler from your 550's kit with abnother bracket, but you need this adapter. $75.00 plus $25.00 for postage mate, and it's yours. (I'll throw in the bracket for free) Cheers, Terry.

[neil young]

SOLD......pm me with the paypal account.and the full price with the cooler
i might grab the whole kit and kaboodle (if the price is right)
i figured it was a differant application.

[Terry in Australia]

Okey Dokey, I've got one sitting on my bench that I just finished machining up, I was gonna put on my bike, but if you want it, it's yours mate! Cheers, Terry.
