Starter clutch intechangable?

[PanheadJosh74]

I have a 1982 gs1100gk and was wondering if any other starter clutchs would work? For example a 850cc or 1150 what years and cc's. Anyone know.

I had to replace a starter clutch for a GSX1100E and was offered a GS1100G one. The part number was one different and was from the same age so went for it. When the part arrived it looked the same and even fitted the same.

The outer ring was the same size but the centre bore which fitted into the start clutch was smaller by about 5mm (3/8ths approx). It should work but I chose to find the correct part.

Your call.

Yes, I still have it! It's sitting in my office, boxed up to send back to the dealer and I never got round to send it back.

I bought it from a dealer who supplies new old stock so its never been fitted to a bike.

Cost me £60. One problem, I'm in the UK.

Checking part numbers on Bike Bandit real quick for you while you're online. There are a few on Ebay for the 850. Chances are they are the same since Suzuki had a habit of using the same parts on multliple models. Hang on a few minutes.

850's used a different part.

Thanx Billy

I didnt think the 850 was the same but didnt know for sure. Im thinking Im gonna have to just buy a new one. Cheapest place?? Anybody? My tool should be in first of the week to pull the old one.

If you're not a in a huge hurry just keep watching Ebay. Some of the discount parts places you find in bike mags will be your best bet if you don't want to wait for one to pop up on Ebay. Sorry I can't be any more help to you.

Dennis Kirk or Bike Bandit might be good places to start too.

That works out to $111 +\-... Bike bandit wants $161

82 models have a smaller crank journal size ( I refer to the journal the starter clutch runs on), than later motors. the change point is the same as the crankpin weld mod by Suzuki.

Depending on shipping that sounds like a deal. I'd still check out some of the discounts that advertise in the bike mags.
