    Rear Sprocket Loose - what to do?

    I removed my rear wheel to change out the bearings and noted my sprocket had some play in it. Further inspection resulted in seeing slightly widended holes in the aluminum hub the sprocket bolts onto.
    Is this a common issue and what can be done?

    time for a new/used hub. that hub is used on several old GS bikes. should not take long to find one at all.

      Any sources for new ones you can think of?

      Better yet, and this is a deusey, what years/models does that hub fit?

        If you insist on NEW, any of the online parts houses should have it available.

        I just did a quick search of the suppliers on my list, none of them show the '76 GS750 or the GS400 that also appeared that year.
        However, another quick search and a cross-reference shows that the hub for the '77 GS750 is used on virtually all street-going Suzukis from the '73 GT750, through the RE5 rotary, on to the GS series from the 550 through the 1000, up through 1979. Be prepared, though, it's over $100.
