    New to bikes, changing brakes + pads

    Didn't realize the 550 ever used a disc in the rear. The earliest bikes use a drum brake.

    1977 GS750 (now 850 ) VM26SS Carbs / replacement jet question.

    I had never seen these air corrector jets before Zed posted them a while ago. Since then, Zed seems to mention them any time someone says pod filter. Just realized Zed is the seller of the jets in the Ebay listing he links to. I would love to have some independent reviews on how well these air...

    Engine identification help

    I guess that's possible but I believe the chart refers to model year. Why list frame number by production year when production month and year are listed on the same plate as the frame number? It would, however, be helpful to know which frame number the manufacturer designated as a new model year.

    Front caliper rebuild kits? '78 GS750 E

    You can order the parts from any Suzuki dealer or OEM parts site. If you're after the stainless steel pistons, they may only be available from a UK (or maybe EU) company.

    Replacement Gas Tank Options

    I had two tiny, rice grain sized holes along a seam on my tank. I used JB weld on the outside of the tank and let it dry completely. Then I lined the inside with Caswell. Haven't had an issue in the 5 years since.

    What general/preventative maintenance or checks should I do on a new purchase?

    I'd definitely spend some time on the brakes as BigT said. If the bike's been sitting for a few years, I'd spend the money for new piston seals and dust boots.

    Good source for replacement rear caliper? (PN 69100-08C00-999) Snapped bleeder screw.

    I think rebuilding a used caliper is a good option. Pretty sure that rear caliper was used on several models.
