Where can I find a shop manual for my 83 gs1100e?

I can't find anything for the 82/83 bikes. Clymer only has the shaft drive bike manuals for those years. Any tips? Should I just get a Haynes? Ugh...

At your Suzuki dealer?

:-D

Oem

The Suzuki OEM number is 99500-39012-03E

The Suzuki shop manuals aren't perfect, by any stretch, but they're pretty good. Clymer's manual is pretty good, too. I'd suggest you get both as they sort of compliment each other.

You know I live in New York City and have to go all the way out to Jersey to find a halfway decent dealer. They're all independent places out here and don't have ANYTHING for bikes older than 10 years. I generally get all my stuff via mail order. I thought I might find a Clymer or equivalent but they don't exist for the 82/83 chain drive 1100's...

Thanks,
Josh

Hi Mr. ironsheik,

A cursory search of ebay turned up this '80-'82 GSX1100 manual. Is that close to what your looking for?

Oh gee, it's in New Zealand.


Thank you for your indulgence,

You don't need a "halfway decent dealer", Josh. No dealer's going to stock the Suzuki manual for your bike...whether they're decent, or not. But...they can all order it for you and it will come to them from one of the numerous Suzuki distributor warehouses within just a few days. The days of dealers stocking parts is pretty much over...especially for bikes more than 2 or 3 years old.
