imago Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Does anyone know what the part number is for the 24 bolt Katana 1100 cam cover? I need one for the head that I've put on the ET but when I look at Robinsons under the Kat section it offers "16 hole" or "20 hole". Quote Link to comment
gsxwill Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Can't help with the part number sorry But i do remember a mate got one by searching for Gs 1100 a few years back instead Gsx1100 some sort of Americanism Hope it helps Quote Link to comment

I need one for the head that I've put on the ET but when I look at Robinsons under the Kat section it offers "16 hole" or "20 hole". I just had a look at the Robinsons GSX1100 ET 1980 - cam cover page, and that shows a cover with 16No general cover screws ( 2 + 14 + 4 ) Fiche items 3, 4 & 5 and then add another 4 for the breather plate - fiche item 12 . . . . . . . total 24No. ! So that cover part # is CYLINDER HEAD COVER (11171-49203) - Old Part Number 11171-49202 Quote Link to comment

I believe the 24 bolt is from the later Kats and they added four bolts around the cam chain chest to stop some issues they had with leaks? Quote Link to comment
TonyGee Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 is this what you are looking for ? 83 on had the extra 4 bolt holes round the cam chain tunnel. has 24 bolt holes. as far as i know their is just the 2 types ??????? suzuki gsx1100 cam cover classic vintage | Eblag Quote Link to comment
TonyGee Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) this gasket is for the 24 hole cam covers, but it had 20 holes as the 4 holes behind the chrome end covers dont need any.

neilw Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Got to be careful with the Kat ones, mine is a 1981 production bike registered in early 1982 ( definitely an SZ model ) which I have owned since 1984 when it had 3000 miles on the clock ,it had silver bodywork and the silver motor yet it has the later 20 bolt gasket with the 4 extra cam chain tunnel bolts which Suzuki reckoned was a mod that came in with the black painted SD engines along with the other engine changes Quote Link to comment
TonyGee Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 looking at the none katana GSX1100 engines on the suzuki parts list shows the 80-81 with the "16 hole cover" and the 82-83 with the "20 hole cover" don't know about the Kat engines though. Quote Link to comment
