Canadian 4valve GS400 documentation help please

[matteblack]

Hey Folks
I currently race a GS450 in AHRMA, in a class called Vintage Super bike Lightweight. It's a class for air cooled 4 stroke bikes built before 1982 and sold in the US or Canada. I'm building a GSX version of the same bike, but in order for it to be class legal, I need to find documentation that will prove that the 4valve per cylinder, GS400/GSX400 was sold in canada prior to 1982. I know that it was, but that isn't enough for the rules committee. So if you have pics or scans of owners manuals, dealer sheets, bills of sale. import/export docs. please reach out.
thanks for your help

Google, 1981 Suzuki GSX 400 specs. it shows the 4 valves. but that, like an owners manual, won't have any proof of where they were sold.

Lettermail Suzuki and ask

Phone Murray or Aaron at Modern Motorcycles in Vancouver, BC. They've been racing and destroying Suzukis since before you were probably born and would probably like to help a fellow racer. (604.876.0182)

Thanks for the info. I've probably run into these guys at a VRRA event. I try to get up to race at Mosport whenever there isn't a schedule conflict.

Also, thestick-on vin tag is specific to Canada I recall. They don't age well but I think one of mine is decent enough if it's needed.
