Putting 1981 gs750e on a 1982 frame

Looks like all will mount okay except for the stator bolt to crankshaft different size bolt??? Parts for both engines are listed as the same bolt size at part OEM stores??? Does anyone know whether or not Suzuki used a different bolt in 1981???

My GS is an 81 engine in an 82 frame. It was like that when I bought it and it has worked just fine. The only trouble I found was the the bolt pattern for the 81 valve cover gasket is different than an 82. Other than that, I haven't had any difficulties in making parts work between the years.

You should be fine.

problem solved!!!

:-D The problem was the threads into the crank were buggered up and the tap I purchased was miss labelled, it actually was bigger than 12mm so the hole was not smaller but the tap was defective. So far so good with every thing else. Will rebuild carbs next hope to have running soon.
