Yup....you guys are right. They had the same size carbs as well. I don't know how I came up with that one. Much appreciate the response on the gasket set question. I ordered it today.

Thank you for the responses on the question. The motors all had the screw adjusters and I'm quite certain they were all the same. The 88 year had smaller carbs versus the rest of the model years but I'm not aware of other differences. Based on the responses here and the little I know I went ahead and purchased the 91/92 labeled gasket set.

Is there a difference between any of the GSXF 1100 motors? I am looking to buy a complete motor gasket set for the 88 GSXF 1100 project i'm working on. The gasket set I was going to get says it's for a 91 and 92 GSXF 1100. Would have thought the GSXF motors from 88 to 93 were the same. Any one know what the differences are on these motors?? thank you

Thank you for confirming what I suspected. It's unfortunate the motor has to come out to pull the head off to replace those leaking o-rings. Even being able to somehow pivot the motor from the rear motor mounts while undoing the front mounts would have been nice. Motor is coming out then and I'll be sure to get Suzuki orings for replacements. I now know what RTFR means. I'm looking forward to working on the Teapot!

Thank yo u for the super quick reply and welcome Swiss Toni! I'm in Canada, eh! This poor beast - GSXF 1100 - has been ridden hard and put away wet all its life it would seem......and spent the last 10 years under a tarp in someone's back yard to top it all off. It just needs lots of love. The poor beast. Comes with the standard Suzuki electric windscreen!! How inter galactic is that for 1988! lol

Hello - found this forum and thought I'd ask. Tons of experience and info on this forum! I'm looking at bringing back an 88 GSXF 1100 from the grave and both the return oil tubes in the front of the engine are leaking (both on the head side) oil. After some research, I don't think there is any other way to get at the orings on the oil return tubes other than by removing the cylinder head. Am I correct? The cylinder head needs to come off unless there is an other option? Can anyone confirm if the cylinder head can be removed with the engine still in the frame? The service manual seems to say no, but I'm not entirely sure. This poor motorcycle has been abused and definitively unloved for many years - I'm thinking, maybe I can change that.
