    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 would suggest that this fuel tap (i'm English) is for the later models with CV carbs than your bike.

Have a look here for a 1978 GS750 http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm
This shoudl give you a good idea for parts for your bike.

I would suggest having used the pages that yours in a GS750B/C/N model so an early one. That fuel taop may not fit. Worth giving them a ring or an email to find out as its half the price of a genuine suzuki one.
 
Hi Mr. Rob,

Be advised,, that particular part does not list the '79 GS750EN as an application. The EX, EZ, and ED are later model years ('81-'83). If the bolt spacing is the same, it might work but require a little modification to your tank. Z1 has a good petcock repair/replacement reference page HERE. It states:

Be advised that some of the aftermarket petcocks come with a larger diameter filter than stock and different shapes - this means you MAY have to enlarge the hole in the tank for the filter to fit or remove the filter. Additionally, the length of the main feed pipe going into the tank may be different from stock, so the reserve capacity may / will change.

Yes, you might want to give them a call and see if they can offer more information on that part.

Your OEM petcock is Suzuki Part# 44300-45011. Flatout lists them for about $65. I'm sure BikeBandit, Alphasports, and others on the list can also get them.

Let's hear from a 750 owner before you order.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
