    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

"G" means that it has a drive shaft, not a chain. Suzuki made a GS650E with chain drive.

"L" models were Suzuki's first foray into the cruiser market. Engines, transmissions and electrical systems were identical to the "standard" models. Seats were different, putting the driver lower, and the passenger a bit above the driver. Gas tanks were skinnier and smaller, and they only got one front disc brake (at least in 673 cc displacement = GS650). As far as I know, all of the L model GSes had drive shafts. My Suzuki shop manual covers the 650G and 650GL models, treating the differences between the two in one chapter at the end. The manual calls it a "GS650GL". However, I think that the side covers all had "GS650L". Just to confuse people.

There were also

GS650T: I think that this was a GS650E slightly stripped down. Few sold.
GS650M: This may have been the 650 version of the Katana. Styling was starting to mimic race bikes. I think that this had a drive shaft, and sportier suspension. Very few sold in the US.

Dunno if you were speaking strictly of the 650s there, but there were 550Ls, 750Ls, 1000Ls and for ONE year (1980), an 1100L that were chain drive...

And I have to agree, it CAN be done, but getting it tuned I dont want to even imagine... I cant think of, other than making equal length intake ports, how youd get the cylinders to fire exactly on time.. of course, im no carb guru either...
