Wanted 1 carb inlet boot for GSX /GSXR 1100

[pappas]

I'm after the inlet boot off number 1 cylinder if anyone has one. I thought my 750 inlet boot would fit but no luck.

Cheers

GSX ones are clip-on both ends, GSXR are clip-on carb end, and screw-on head end , which is it ?

[pappas]

Really! The ones I have srew to the head, so does that mean that this is a GSXR motor then? I checked the engine numbers on the net and it told me it was a GSX 1100 motor?

They are like this....

That be a GSXR motor. They call them GSX in USA - was the website you looked at a US one??

Anyway, you would've had quite a few more hassles squeezing a GSX motor in that frame as I understand it....

I got the engine numbers from here it's an Aussie website.

The preffix for my motor is V706 so this shows up below as a GSX1100 from 1989-93....

I'm pretty sure it's a Jap import you think the numbers would be different between Aus model and Jap model?.....doubt it.

You can tell just by looking at the fins that that's a GSXR motor mate. They look totally different on the GSX:

If you think about it, the actual model got called the GSX1100R, so in theory they might have gotten away with calling it a GSX? Who knows?

The only sucessful transplant of a GSX motor into a GSXR frame that I have seen is Moog's. I have some photos somewhere but I have lost them. Maybe Moog can do the honours?

[pappas]

OK maybe I should have added the F for GSXF, I was talking about one of these......

Yea, those years the F and R were the same shape motor mate.

....and I actually found that photo of the GSX motor in the GSXR frame as done by Moog:

I was so taken aback by the fitment that I didn't think to take one of the whole bike!

Ok so I'm confused. From what I can gather the GSX1100E, GSX1100EF & GSX1100S (Katana) had a different motor to the GSXR1100 until 1988-89, so the motor above is a pre 1988 model GSX motor into a GSXR frame?

http://www.suzukicycles.org/GSX-series/GSX1100S_prototype.shtml
http://www.suzukicycles.org/GSX-series/GSX1100F.shtml

Is this right? Or am I doing my head in for nothing?
Very neat motor instal BTW!

[Gix11]

That's right mate. Spot on. The motor in the GSXR started life in '85 in the 750, then the 1100R and F appeared with basically the same shape motor.

GS Is a two Valve Air Cooled Big Fin Moteur
GSX Is a four valve Air Cooled (Big Fin) Moteur
GSX-R Is a Four Valve Oil Cooled Small Fin Moteur
GSX-F Is a Four Valve Oil Cooled Small Fin Moteur - basically the same as the GSX-R except for cam timing/compression

The Katana (88-89) you mention might be the Seppo version of GSX-F/Teapot thingy that really wasn't worthy of the name.
