    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

I have a GS1100 G with a buggered final drive, my question is what other final drive are interchangeable with the 1100 ?? Oh it's a 83 model.

So you didn't read the other thread? Redman explained quite clearly that your bike doesn't have a "differential".:rolleyes:

As Redman also explained, any 850/1000/1100 final drive will fit.

Starting in '83 in the US market Suzuki changed the gear ratio for lower rpm's on the freeway with the 1100 models. Assuming the Australian market is similar, that means you need a '83 or later final drive otherwise your rpm's will be slightly higher for any given cruise speed.
 
I did read Redman's post and was asked to re enter my post here . This is my first GS 1100 and love it and would also like do whats best for the old girl
 
Your not moving the revs that much your looking at about 500-1000rpm in top gear using the GS850 one and it will give you abit more acceleration.
