gunnar-gsxr Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 (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.

Captain Chaos Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Hi and welcome. As far as I know only difference is the 100hp power output on the French market. Quote Link to comment

yann7/11r Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment
