    Just bought New GS1000S

    Hello, Anyone can help me find owners manual for 79 GS1000S? Also what are original spark plugs, Brand and number. Thanks
    email me and ask about my bike. I'm like a new dad with this thing. It's a museum piece so if there are any shows or meets feel free to let me know.

      I think Suzuki provided the regular GS1000 Owners Manual with the 1000S bikes in the USA. I've never seen or heard of a dedicated 1000S owners manual.

        Zav,

        Welcome to GSR.

        THanks for introducing yourself.

        Do post some pics of this museum piece. Would be interested to see pics even if it was not a museum piece, but that description generates even more interest.

        Do describe "multiple locations". Maybe other GSR members nearby.

        Can search "VJMC" if are looking for vintage bike shows.

        .

            Yes its the regular GS 1000 manuals as far as I have ever found. The service manual has a supplimental section in the back which addresses anything the S has. But its really just a GS 1000 with a fairing and 2 tone paint in the scheme of things.

            I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

              Look for GSR member basscliff, he has a lot of manuals on his site. The "S" supplement is the only owners manual I've seen. The GS1000 Suzuki repair manual covers all versions.

                  Bingo! That is it. 25 years of regret I sold my GS1000S have been remedied. Not sure if overpriced but I'm a happy son of a bitch. I wouldn't sell it for double what I paid.

                              Beautiful bike. I watched the auction and figured it would set a record. It is really hard to believe that it is not a restored bike.

                              Congratulations!
