        The 550's were 32's as well, but they use different intake boots for some reason.

            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.

              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 way

                  650s are also 32mm.

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

                        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.htm
