GS850 engine number vs model

[Alan]

I know this question has been asked time and again, but none of the answers I have found in the forum have helped me.

Is there a reference somewhere of engine serial numbers for the various models that have been released. It is easy for the frame but I have had no luck with the engine even from Suzuki themselves.

I realise the number ranges in the States might be different than for NZ or Aussie or the UK or wherever my engine came from but I hope someone can point me in the right direction (not Z1 - for the 850 there are next to no engine numbers, just frames).

BTW my engine number is GS850-133869.

Thanks,
Alan

Hi Alan

Z1 Enterprises used to list all the GS models, with frame and engine number ranges for each year of manufacture. This info appears to have gone under the new site format.

I have 3 '79 850 engines with serial #s GS850-105947, -112060 & -115759. Yours is probably an '81 model.

I see your'e in Napier. Drop me a PM with your number and I will call you.

Cheers
Ian
