750 carbs on an 850

[ryan2035]

i've got a 79 850 that i've been building into a bobber i got my air pods in and they didn't fit so i measured (which i should have done in the first place). after some research i think i have 750 carbs on my bike, just wondering if anyone has seen this before and if it's going to effect my performance after jetting and rebuilding i already have my 4 into 1 exhaust on.

Hi Mr. ryan2035,

The '79 GS850 has VM26SS carbs and the '80 and later models use BS32SS carbs (CV style). It sounds like you may have ordered pod filters for the later carbs.

If there's anything else you'd like to know about the Suzuki GS model bikes, and most others actually, you've come to the right place. There's a lot of knowledge and experience here in the community. Come on in and let me say "HOoooowwwDY!"....

The 750, 850 and 1000 all had the VM 26 carbs in 1979

So, other than jetting, the carbs are all the same

Post up a pic so we can see what you're talking about (read the BassCliff)
