The 550's were 32's as well, but they use different intake boots for some reason.Last edited by Nessism; 10-27-2007, 05:49 AM.Ed

What year is your 550??? My wife's "85" GS 550 has only 2 carbs, Don't remember what year this set up started, but I think The GS 550's were the only 4 cyl GS's with only 2 carbs.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw.

Yeah I think that started in 85 or 84 if I'm not mistaken. Before that they used four mikuni CV carbs. Mine is an 81 by the wayOriginally posted by rphillips View PostComment

Does anybody know what the compatibility of the boots between different models? Do they vary a lot between different engine sizes?Comment

You can compare the part numbers on line at places like Alpha Sports or Flat Out. I don't think you will find a lot of crossover since the 16 valve engines have a different style boots than the 8 valve engines and the VM carb bikes are different again. http://alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htmEd
