    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.

Need help figuring out what engine I'm working on

Hello, I'm helping a buddy work on a GS1000 with serial #128788. The motor is stuffed into a GS 750 frame & runs well. Our plan is to scrap the frame, it's been cut & welded to the point it's dangerous to ride. I haven't had much luck in figuring out what year it is. Any data bases out there? can anyone help? Thanks Patrick
 
I have a chart showing that 1979 engine numbers started at 121074 so I guess that makes yours a '79.

Thank you, most of my experience has been working on Honda's & have built up a pretty good database, when it came to the Suzuki wasn't sure where to look. Now I can search the forums for answers to my questions-Patrick
 
Is it a 2 valve motor, What carbs are on it VM carbs would be 78-79 year
 
Yup, 2 valve motor & VM carbs. Supposedly bored out to 1100cc's by previous owner & then stuffed into a '79 GS750 frame. Lot's of washers to take up the space between frame & motor. As it sits It's too dangerous to ride so our plan was to put it into a custom frame. I say was because my buddy got it running today & it's blowing alot of white smoke. At least it was cheap, I'm now waiting to find out what he wants to do w/ it, we might rebuild it & use it. Thanks for the info- Patrick
