R709 - what countries ?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hello !   I am about to buy a nice 1988 GSX-R750. The bike is equipped with a good replacement
engine of the same year range with the engine code R709. There are two extra spare donor engines
of the same R709 type in the deal. From docs I find on the net it indicated R709 appeared
in bikes for the French market ?   See https://sites.google.com/site/suzukitechnical/suzuki/sacs-enginecodes
Can anyone confirm. Are there any special characteristics that set 
R709 engines apart from others used in the GR77B bikes ?   Gear ratios or other ?   They are all used in the GR77B model variant,
the 100hp power detuned variant that use restrictors in the exhaust pipes.  Grateful for any info.

Hi !

All the things you mentionned are quite correct. 

R709 is the engine code for slingshot 88/89 750 model for the French market.

748cc short stroke 

100hp with restrictor on exhaust.
