compatible parts????

[Anonymous]

From the Info provided on this great site I have been able to determine that my bike is a 83 gs650GMD katana the problem is that this model is not listed when I try to order parts. I even called some local suzuki dealers in my area and they dont have this bike listed. I did read that this bike was imported to the U.S and not generally listed. Would any of the other 650 parts be interchangable with this bike? I need mostly Maintenence parts.... Brake pads, oil and air filters..etc. Thanks

In my Country there is only one GS 650 and when I have this kind of problem I usually check the part?s # from other common GS?S in my Country.

In oz and europe it was called a GS650GZ, that may help.
But yes most of the mechanicals & electrics are the same on the 650.

You have a GS650G, like mine. oils, brakes, etc are common. Oil filters are all the same I am told, so are most of the brake parts.

Thanks for the responses, I am begining to realize that this bike is quite rare. I think I'll hold on to it
