Thank you, it appears it is under GS1000S they are dropping off the Z in model listing.Comment

Z is the year code, not a model code in of itself.Ed

Correct, Hot Luna.
Either 1982 GS1000S, or GS1000SZ. You don't need to say both. '82 Kat sounds sexy enough.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

"Z" indicates a 1981 build year.1981 GS 1000GLX.
1981 GS 1000G.
1981 GS 650GLX.
1975 TS 185.
1972 100. Kawasaki.
1968 100. Suzuki.
1970 Z 50. Honda.
1984 CT 70. Honda. (Kids)
1982 DS 50. Suzuki. (Kids)Comment

but a 1982 'sales' year? I just went all the way into the other room to check it, and the back of the owner's manual says December, 1981. Front cover says GS1100E.Originally posted by habsdoc View Post
Suzuki Service man says GS1100, with a special section at the back that says GS1100EZ.
Hayenes just says "GSX/GS1000, 1100 & 1150 4-valve Fours 998cc - 1075cc - 1135cc 1979 to 1988."
Is USA reg 1982 GS; I sometimes wish it was anywhere else so I could say it is GSX.Last edited by Rob S.; 03-07-2019, 12:47 AM.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

It may have been assembled in the latter part of 1981, but "Z" definitely indicates a 1982 model year.Originally posted by habsdoc View Post
1981 model year is "X", 1980 is "T".
1983 is "D".
And no, the letter sequence doesn't make a lot of sense. But that's the way Suzuki does it.1983 GS850G, Cosmos Blue.

Yes, Z is 1982 model year.
Build dates range from 9/81 to 8/82 (or something to this effect).Ed
