1985 gs1150 errr 1100?

[johnbb71]

i was wondering why my engine had the rectangle covers on the side as seeing every pic of this bike had a smooth valve cover,ima dolt i guess.so i just looked at the displacement stamp and it says 1074,i have a 1100 engine in my 1150 omg i am so ticked,so now the question is are my carbs bs36 or 34's how do i tell without measuring,next what year would this engine be?how do i date it? and omg the miles are untold,this explains the 110 air jets in it,i wanna scream!!!oh well its styill a nice bike getting a paint job this month and goin thru the carbs anyway do all the suggested maintenance, but i never sell it as original and i dont want to anyhow

Later GS(X)?

The engines changed later in the GS range on the 1100's. Most were 1074cc but they did do a GS(X)1100EF, first of the true mono shocks that ran an 1150cc engine.

Picture of you bike would also help people identify it.

its titled 19856 suzuki GS15, i have a pic in my photo album here ,it's deffinately a gs1150e frame and body but with 1074cc engine numbers are GS10X-165996
i measured the carbs then did conversion table they are 36 mm BS36's
glad i figured all this out befor ordering all these parts.body n engine this year within the month, next winter i will paint the frame and finish it, i just wanna ride it lol,i will still love her like she deserves thon oh yah i forgot , i did see dyno papers from this bike it was putting out 109 ponies,hopefully a good complete tune up does her justice.
