    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

I have a 1983 Gs650. I just bought it a couple off weeks ago. they guy said it was a Gs650L. not sure. but i know the motor says GS650G-145121. Anyways my questions is I need carb / intake boots for it they are all cracked up and someone you can tell has tried to jbweld them in the past. I would some on Z1enterprises.com http://www.z1enterprises.com/detail.aspx?ID=4410 but they say for 80-82. And I was wondering if they would working on a 83. I can't seem to find them for a 83 anywhere. Any help would be appreciated. This is my first bike. I have seachered the forums and came up with nothing yet. I am sure its there somewhere but i have yet to find it. thanks.

Hi Mr. cjarratt,

Compare those part numbers with an online vendor's parts fiche to doube-check the applicability. ;)

The "L" models typically have chrome fenders front and rear, the stock handlebars were the "buckhorn" style high bars, and they have leading axle forks, just to name a few differences. Check the online Suzuki OEM dealers as most parts like that are still available new. Partshark.com, cyclepartsnation.com, gssuzuki.com are a few vendors with better prices. Z1Enterprises.com is a great place to shop. If they don't have it on their website, just give them a call.

Anyway, let me dump a TON if information on you and share some GS lovin'. :D

I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.

The 650's from 81 thru 83 all shared the same engine components except for a few model year improvements, so boots should fit. Note their desired orientation ( the vacuum ports ) before you remove and replace them.
 
thanks. i also found out what kind of bike i have today. i have been looking everywhere and no luck i have seen that sticker on the forks or what you call them with all the info on them but didn't see the model intill today when i was playing with brakes. its a gs650gl thanks for everything and quick replies hopefully i can get her running in a few weeks and post a pic. it gonna need a lot of work.
