Does anyone know what starters will fit a 1978 GS1000? I was wondering if there was a Cross Referance Manual on the web? Thanks Joe

Well, this information might not be much help to you...
The original Suzuki part number for the '78 GS1000 starter is 31100-45040...
That number has been superceded by 31100-49050...
I'd suggest that you call a local boneyard to see if they can tell you which other models also use those starters; I'm not aware of any online cross-reference manuals, though I do hope that someone else has a link to one...
EDIT: OK, I just checked; the '80 - '81 GS850G, and the '80 - '81 GS1000G all use the same starter... I don't have the time to check any other models, but chances are good that most of the big two-valve shafties will ALL use it, though you should double-check that, just to be safe. IOW, since the GS1000G has that starter, the GS1000GL should also use it, along with the GS850GL models, and so on... -
Thanks for your help. JoeComment

I'm pretty sure any one from a 78-80/81 750,850,1000 GS bike will work. I got 1 off ebay for my 79 850,it was from a 78 750. You can check the microfiche on Alpha Sports and cross reference the part # that pete gave.
BTW- I paid $.99 + 8.15 S/H--works GREAT!

Well, I did a little more research in my "free" time, and I think scotto58 is correct; chances are good that the starters from the model he mentioned will work for you. I originally focused on the shaft-drive models, because I had that page open on MRcycles.com, but it seems that most of the bigger chain-drive engines used that starter as well (which only makes sense; using one starter for several models is an economical way to keep the assembly lines moving).
Good luck, JOE BIO; let us know if you need more information...Comment
