    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...

Can anyone tell me if the 83 GS1100SD Katana uses the same stator & rectifier as the 81-83 1000 Katanas , or what it does use ?
 
No. The '83 Katana uses the same components as the standard GS1100E & ES.
 
Also different about the Katana Crank is the generator rotor. Suzuki put the Gs750 rotor onto the Gs1000s and Gs1100s motors. This carried through to 1983 and the Gs1100sd as well. The point is, stator covers are not interchangeable between the Gs1100e and the Gs1100s engines. In a pinch you can get your big Kat running with a 750 stator cover but it too is a little different, but fits. This from Suzukikatana.com is why I ask
 
According to the parts manual they are not the same as the regular 1100's the stator and generator are different part numbers between the Es and the katana. The rectifier regulator is the same. They dont seem to be the same as the E model 750s either.
