Solcambs Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Any clues on how to tell one GSX1100 lump from another. Any obvious clues? I am pretty convinced mine is a "bits part special" - but would like to identify what was the original source bike to the motor for future spares reference. Quote Link to comment
KATANAMANGLER Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 The engine number prefix is the best way. What is the engine number prefix.? Quote Link to comment

Solcambs Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) U702 apparently just tells me it's a 1000-1099cc 4 stroke, and the second variation? http://www.suzukicycles.org/_misc/identification.shtml Edited March 17, 2016 by Solcambs Quote Link to comment

Solcambs Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 Right ... defo a 1984 ES engine. NO real difference in power or torque, but the ES has a gear position indicator - which is no good if you don't have an ES dash to indicate said gear positions!! So the cable will be routed away and forgotten about :o). Quote Link to comment
Captain Chaos Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 or install a neutral switch from an oilcooled engine for example. Straight fit. 1 Quote Link to comment
johnr Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 just cut off the wires for the gear positions and leave the neutral light feed that it already has. Quote Link to comment
coombehouse Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 You can buy a chinese copy of the Suzuki gear position sensor on Eblag for a few quid & mount it somewhere if you want. 1 Quote Link to comment
