Poland welcomes with GSX750

[Guest]

Hi GS-ers!

Two years ago I bought a beautiful GSX 750EX 1981. I'm completely satisfied with it, still a lot of power in this ol'paw. I Got into this forum searching for maintenance and repair info, there're still some things that need to be done - and I'd like to deal with them on my own.

Also there's not much about the EX version, which is quite rare from what I heard. Do you have any info about it? Vin (frame) number is GS75X527606. Kinly advise



Thanks!

Thanks!

I believe your 81 is actually and 82 model (unless the European version was a bit different). They changed the instrument cluster and headlite and forks in 82. Might have been built late 81 and as the new 82 model.

Hi makciook.

Welcome to the forum.

[GSXR7ED]

If anyone would know about your "E" it would be MrBill. I like the open portion on the front fender. That's a different looking engine guard too. And I already like the fact it's a 750.

Thanks for letting me know. From what I've heard the points MrBill mentioned were mounted in EX version, then they've become E in some next release. Anyway - I was looking for a 750 and found a nice one

Nice bike! Looks like your missing a bolt on the front rotor? terrylee

Good eye, terrylee. What about that fork brace? Looks unique.

Yes, you're right! Need to visit Suzuki for a replacement screw. There're some other minor bugs, will fix them before it gets hot here in PL Not sure about the fork brace - it's hard to dig up the history of such an old bike, even the guys from suzuki weren't able to give me much info.

Very nice bike, welcome to the forum! 750s rule!

Yup you did find a nice one, You can get that bolt about anywhere. Its metric.

Good eye, terrylee. What about that fork brace? Looks unique.

Actually that is a fork cover, covers up the plumbing for the front brakes. A brace would mount where the fork dust boots are.

Are the headlight tabs different as well? They sure don't look like mine.

Those are definitely aftermarket.

I like the looks of the '82 GS750E (GSX750E in Europe) a lot. Removing the square headlight bucket and replacing it with a traditional round headlight did wonders for the lines of the bike.

My (former) '81 when I brought it home (it was given to me in exchange for helping a friend install some hardwood flooring in his house):



And after I replaced the bodywork with parts from an '82:

[Allie]

Yer durned tootin' about that round bucket, I never did like the square ones. It even makes the clunky gauge nacelle look better. Sharp bike! The European bikes usually look nicer to my eye.

[makciook]

Thanks! That's true, behind the fork cover there is an ugly front brake's pump hidden. I was actually searching for a bike with round headlight, I find the square light bikes coarse.

Hm, also the back rigging is much different from what you posted here. It looks original, but no one was able to confirm it.
