    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.

Crankcase Model D or Z?

Guys,

I'm putting the engine back together on my 82 GS1100EZ. When I look up some OEM parts I need to specify Crankcase Model D or Z. Does the Z at the end of the bike model number refer to the crankcase model? If not, how do I know?

btw, I haven't checked in for a while and my account got deleted hence the newbie status...

Thanks!

It denotes year. The 1982 model was an "EZ" and the '83 model was an "ED". Hope that helps. The big difference you'll see is the engine color, black for '83, aluminum for '82, but there are other differences, cam's, clutch, carbs, etc.

Thanks for this but I'm still confused by the following microfiche links. The first one refers to an 82 GS1100 Crankcase Model Z and the second one is for an 82 GS1100 Crankcase Model D. Same year...

The part I'm interested in (the oil temp sensor) is listed as a different part number for the Z and D Crankcases
