Quincey Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Good evening all, Have a bit of a dilemma and hope someone can assist. I bought an 83 Canadian Gs750es and notice a fork seal is blown. Looking at the forks I see they are air linked, pity as I assumed they would be the european version with the preload on top. Doing a search on parts appears the air forks are listed as GS700e so questions what is the oil capacity of each leg is it the same as the ES what is the air pressure range also could I use the Hagon progressive spring from their ES listing as original parts number for E and Es appear the same and could get rid of the air thanks Quincey Quote
Poldark Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 I would strongly expect your Canadian GS750 to be nearly identical to the same year US GS700 of the same year (engine bore size would be slightly smaller on the 700). The 700 was to get around the US import tariff on bikes over 700cc during the mid eighties. If you use info for 83 GS700 you should be fine, but wait for a second opinion on that one, it's possible there were some other differences between US and Canadian models. Do any of our Canadian members have any advice? Quote
Quincey Posted February 14, 2018 Author Posted February 14, 2018 Ok think I have got the oil volume per leg sorted GSX 750ES is 293cc per leg and the 700E leg takes 303cc so 10cc more will go with 7 psi unless someone says different on the above Quote
