    '82 750T Engine Went Out, '81 750E Motor Available. Will It Fit?

    The motor on my '82 750T went out and busted the lower crankcase and I have been looking for replacements. I found an '81 750EZ with a working motor and junked body on craigslist. Wanted to know if you guys thought I would have any issues swapping the motors.

    Thanks,

    Jack.

    Off hand I would say no real fit issues since they are the same engine, just different style designations. But I would measure engine mounts FIRST to be sure. You should be able to do he swap in a weekend. Getting all the stuff out of the way will be the most time consuming

      Direct replacement, no issues as far as swapping, but you could put a 1100 engine in there if you had one. Ask Spyder about The Jet.

        Yes, direct swap.

        Those 2nd generation 750's are one of the only GS's with durability issues. Traces back to oiling system problems. There is a fix that involves shimming the oil pressure relief spring so overall oil pressure increases. I think this fix was authorized by Suzuki in NZ where guys ride their bikes hard. At any rate, good luck with the swap.

        To measure is to know.
