Manual wanted.

[spyug]

As I mentioned in my intro post I am into annual winter time restorations and this year it is an 82 750 Kat. I am a big GS fan and did an 83 750 a few years back. Its my daily rider and a hell of a sturdy machine. I was looking for a GS1000 for this years project but the 750 was offered to me by a member on the GTA Motorcycle forum. Not exactly what I was looking for but close enough to the familiar GS that I figured I could pull it off.

Frame is powder coated, plastics are fair, a few parts are missing, it has a beat up but serviceable Yosh exhaust and I scored a spare engine. The installed engine was seized but I pulled the head and freed everything up. The plan was to get it running, tart it up and pass it on. Trouble is I've been reading the posts in this section and the plan might change....it may be a keeper and I might need to put more of an effort in to sorting it out.

While the bike is very close to the GS in parts and such there are some things I don't follow ( like the choke mechanism) and I would like to find a manual. Does anyone have a spare or one they want to get rid of or failing that could anyone copy a few things for me like the wiring diagram and details on the setup of the choke gizmo?

This is the roller as I got her a few weekends back:



I appreciate all the help and information offered.

Cheers all,
Spyug

manual

Saw a couple on ebay recently.
The haynes is about what you'd expect, not great,better than nothing I guess.

I got a good reprint from an outfit in N. Zealand i think, they are also on ebay,really nice, high quality, not cheap but not outrageous. All my stuff is for 1100 tho so not gonna be a big help to you I think.

Here's a link with the info that you need, it only goes back to 88 tough, but maybe you will find something that will help you, edromero, this link contains info on 06

The 88-97 and 98+ manuals can be found in the wiki.

As far as a manual for an old GS.... I had a manual for the 1100EX but sold it with the bike.

Manuals

The place in N. Zealand I mentioned in earlier post is.

www.e-classicbike.com

I don't know what they have, but the 80-82 GSX 1100 manual
and 81-84 Katana supplement are first rate. These are GOOD reprints of factory manuals. They also sell on ebay.

Nope i don't work for them,it's just a really nice product they have.

I've got a PDF manual for a '76 GS750 (with addendum for '78 GS750E I think). Don't know if it's the same through '82, but might be worth a look. I suspect it's the same as the manual on this page: http://www.carlsalter.com/motorcycle-manuals.asp

(scroll down the list to "Suzuki GS750")

Had trouble with that link, here's an alternate: Suzuki_GS750.pdf

Thanks for alll the input folks. I contacted the fella in NZ and he has a manual for US $32.00 which will be on its way to me today or would that be tomorrow?

It seems to be a factory manual so I think it will have all the info I'm after. I will keep my eyes peeled for any aftermarket manuals that might be around as I find you can't have too much info. Sometimes one manual has good written instruction s but lousy photos and often another one is the opposite.

I'll let you know what i think when it turns up.

Cheers,
spyug
