    Factory Petcock GS1000S

    Stopped in to my local Suz dealer to see if they has an OEM pectock.

    It can be ordered for $109. There is a guy who sells them on ebay for $49 with required gaskets. He told me they are made by the original company who supplied them to Suzuki.

    Thoughts?

    Probably the 1980 petcock? They are readily available.

            Hi,

            I'm just curious. Are you looking for part# 44300-44011? Partshark.com sells that for $246.06. Alpha-sports.com sells that for $346.37. That's the 1979 GS1000S petcock.

            If you're looking for part# 44300-47270, it's a little more reasonable. Partshark.com sells it for $74.30. That's the 1980 GS1000S part.


            Thank you for your indulgence,

            BassCliff

              I would test yours before you cough up the cash for a new one.

                  I bought one of those same petcocks when Z1 sold them and the casting marks are identical to the OE part.

                  That leverless 1980 petcock has a tiny rubber check valve imbedded down in the guts of the body that commonly fails. If ever there was a petcock worthy of "throw away and buy new", this is the one.

                    Here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1980-...Q5fAccessories

                    This is the first petcock I have seen that doesn't have the on/off valve. How would I test it on a non running bike?

                      Put it on your tank. Put gas in the tank. Put a section of hose on both the outlet and the vacuum line. Put the output line tube in a gas can. Suck a vacuum on the vacuum line tube and gas should flow out of the petcock.

                      The primer feature on that particular petcock is unique: you need to turn the little lever to Prime and then suck a pulse of vacuum on the vacuum line. Gas will flow until you turn the lever from Prime to ON.
