top end noise 1991 1000G

[Guest]

Hello to all!i
I have a new toy and have just one question - I searched but no luck.
I've never had a Suzuki and it seems the top end is somewhat noisy... is this a common issue?
Thanks in advance!

No such thing as a 91 GS unless you cross over into GSXR and such nomenclature. The last year for the 1000G was 1981.

The entire GS engine is a little noisey. It has a roller bearing crank for one thing, and it's air cooled which is noisier than water cooled engines.

Yes, it should sound somewhat to a Singer sowing machine if the valves are adjusted right. If it's quiet then you should worry.

If you have a 1000G it's got to be an '80-81. If you have a 1100G 82-83? not sure on how late the 1100G went, but the next time Suzuki got a standard shafty was 91-93 GSX1100G. They are bad azz from what I've been told.

Post a pic and we can see what you've got.

Ahhh... my bad, GSX1100G. I've had multiple Kawi 1,000's over the years but it's been awhile(02 ?)... I had in my mind they were more "sewing machine" quiet. Probably me being paranoid as I'm a bit retentive about top end noise(off road 2 smokes and road race vintage ohc cars with solid lifters). I need to have a mechanic check the valves and see if in spec. The bike below is not mine(mine is black).
Thanks!
