Model ID needed
Hi guys, I have a 1979 GS750. On the neck of the frame, it says GS750E-xxxxx then numbers. I know there are quite a few models of the 750 built in 79'. How do I find out exactly which one I have E, EN, EIEIO? I need to start ordering parts soon to put her back together (doing a total resto.) and Bikebandit has separate pages for the different 79' 750 models. Thanks a million.Tags: None

A 1979 GS750 Spoke wheel single disk front brake is a GS750N.
A 1979 GS750 Mag wheel dual disk front brake is a GS750EN.
A 1979 GS750 Mag wheel dual disc front brake with a teardrop tank, pull back bars, stepped seat and chrome rear fender is a GS750LN.
I just happen to have one of each. Dar

I have the same bike..As i understand things, Suzuki put the designation as the first part of the VIN...GS750e-xxxx as you stated. If it just has an E then its an E model. If it was an EN then it would be gs750EN-xxx. see the keepers section and call the number i sent to the admin about manuals.. doesnt hurt to make a call. Listen to the entire automated list, make your selection, then ask away..ChuckMY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
1978 GS 1000 E, 1979 GS 1000 S, 1973 Yamaha TX 750, 1977 Kawasaki KZ 650B1, 1975 Honda GL1000 Goldwing, 1983 CB 650SC Nighthawk, 1972 Honda CB 350K4, 74 Honda CB550
NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

16 valve didn't come until 1980. That would be a GS750ET. This doesn't have to be this confusing! A spoke wheel model is a GS750. A Mag Wheel model is a GS750E. The cruiser(stepped seat) model is a GS750L. The B-C-N-T designates the year code 77-78-79-80 respectably. This is all covered on this site. Dar

The first letter after the numbers is the MODEL code - typically E/L/G/T or nothing. The spoke wheel model bikes don't have a MODEL code, so tere is NO C or N model, those letters represent the YEAR code (see below).
Second letter is typically the YEAR code.
There are exceptions to this scheme, such as the GL model, but the last letter always represents the year.Last edited by Nessism; 12-19-2009, 03:33 PM.Ed

The engines are the same, to me a "motor" is an electrical device.Ed

Not to be confused with a a train engine. The "train engine" is powered by an "electric motor" that is powered by a "generator" that is powered by a "combustion engine". Now I'm confused !!!!!1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100
