GS1100 Intake Manifolds

[Scratcher09]

i need to buy a set if intake manifolds and i found a set on ebay for $69 which sounds like a great price but it says for chain driven models only. Are the intakes different on a chain driven model verses shaft?

 

[GSX1000E]

Yes. The 4-valve (chain drive) engines just use tubes for manifolds. The G 2-valve (shaft drive models) use bolt on manifolds.
Why not just get stock Suzuki intakes for your 1100E? http://www.partsoutlaw.com/OEMpartf...100E_(1983)/CYLINDER_HEAD/02380003/5602380003

Feel a bit foolish now. I was told by PO that this was an E but is seems I have a G. It is shaft driven. And the intakes ARE bolted. I had just now ordered a set if intakes from Bike Bandit and now I see they are the wrong ones.

#26 & 27 here: http://www.partsoutlaw.com/OEMpartf...100G_(1983)/CYLINDER_HEAD/02410002/5602410003
BTW, NEVER order from the Bike Bandit unless you enjoy paying way too much for parts.

Thanks, ordering from parts outlaw just saved me about $26. And it only took a quick call to bandit to cancel my wrong order. So is there something on the VIN that would tell me exactly what model I have?

Post some pic's of your bike. Even if some things have been changed/improved on it, several persons on this forum should be able to narrow it down pretty well.

I'll take the chain drive manifold boots.

Here's a pic of my '82 GS1100. PO said it was an 1100E but it's not. Can anyone pinpoint what model it is?
