Clymer manual Help!

[RJz1100E]

I can't find a Clymer manual that covers my model year. bike. The only one I can find covers 1980/1981 GS1100 ET/LT/EX. My bike is an 82 ES.
Will this book cover my bike also? What would be different on my 82?

The only book I can find that covers GS1100/1982 model year is for the shaft driven models.

I already have the factory service manual, but I would like to get a Clymer or Haynes manual too.

Are you sure it's an "82" GS 1100 "ES", I was thinking the "ES" models were only in "83". There were very minimal differences in the engines, but body, suspension, & instruments are completely different . There are Haynes manuals on e-bay, all the time. You may be overlooking them, cause they have a GS 1150 on the cover. This manual is for the GSX/GS1000, 1100, & 1150 4-valve Fours. At least 1 on e-bay now. May need to punch in GS1150 to find it

I'm confused on the whole ES,ED,EX bit. Your're probably right. Found a Haynes book at the motorbookstore.com that covers my model year. Thanks for the info.

I did a little research and I think my bike is actually a 1982 GS1100EZ.
VIN# JS1GU73_C-------

I guess the C designation makes it the EZ model. Whatever the difference is I do not know other than it's supposed to be a little slower than the ones with the black engines.

I'd keep looking for a Clymer, I have both a Clymer and a Haynes and the Clymer is MUCH better.

Go back to the home page then to model imformation, It explains EX, ET, ED, ESD, etc

I need whichever one explains things in such great detail that, even a caveman could do it.8-[
