Swirl Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 What's the difference peeps, are the bodywork engines etc interchangeable, will be a special any how so not bother about running gear Quote Link to comment
gs7_11 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 The engines are exactly the same, as is almost everything else, on the UK 1979 SN and EN models. The differences are: fairing, clocks, oil temp sender, paint, rear wheel is thinner on the S, the tank has no badge mounting points. The 1980 ST has more differences (rearset pegs, shorter silencers) but was not imported into the UK. The US ST had CV carbs like the ET. The Aussie ST was different again with slightly hotter cams, big slide carbs, different paint job and normal ET clocks. That's about it. 1 Quote Link to comment

BigT Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 You guys S models didn't have an 18" rear wheel, as opposed to the E 17" wheel? Quote Link to comment

Yes, I should have said that when I said thinner. A few have 17 inchers fitted by owners as the 120 x 18 looks a bit anaemic! I did that on mine in 2001 so I've kept it that way.

Mine will have modern running gear on, but thanks for the info guys 1 Quote Link to comment
