carb diaphragms are gone....Can't seem to find newones - what are the options?

[OHTOMISI _GS850G]

Hi everybody
I am rebuilding my GS850G 1981model and I found that my diaphragms are dry, (with some cuts, holes), in other words they need to be replaced with newones
the problem is that I can't find anything here (Greece) and a search in the e-bay (Europe only, USA is too far away so too expensive for me) didn't gave me any results ecxept some used carbs from 650s (I suppose they are smaller, right?) - the fact is that I found here 4 used complete carbs from a GS1100 (the store site does not clarify from wich model, but it should be from a 2valve per cyl. model since in Europe the 4valves models are named "gsx") I ll go check them out, but from a quick search in the net I see that they should be 34mm, bigger than mine...But I am a little confused about the carb variations on those bigger GSs (850 - 1000 - 1100).I think the specs in the net are not so reliable...
So can anybody give any advice?
- is there any trustfull specs about those models?
- Would the 34mm bigger carbs be too big for the 850? - maybe with smaller main jets?
Thank u allin advance guys

I have a set of 32mm diaphragms with slides in great shape. The whole set is yours for $125 shipped (for the record last I looked sudco had em for around $80 EACH new) if you want em.

Hi Mr. OHTOMISI _GS850G,

Partsnmore.com has very good prices on diaphragms. They're not cheap, but less than OEM. You might want to shop the vendor list in your "mega-welcome" if you do want OEM parts. I find that partshark.com and gssuzuki.com usually have the best prices. And Z1Enterprises.com is great to work with and can usually get you just about anything you need for a good price. Call them if you don't find it on their website.

Anyway, let me dump a TON if information on you and share some GS lovin'.

I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.

TCK's price is a good one. Here's some new ones in the UK:

By the way - keep your chin up and don't let your government get you down with all that austerity rubbish.

IF (big IF, 'cause I don't know myself) the Mikuni BS34 slides fit the Mikuni BS32 carbs, then you can get new slides & diaphrams at MikesXS, a Yamaha XS650 supplier. Cost is 80 clams each though. Here's a link:

Again be sure to check if they swap over, and anyone more knowledgeable can weigh in too.

Best.

I ran the 34CV's from a 1000 on my 850 for many years.
Just jet with the same pilot's from the 850 carbs and one size larger main jets if I remember correctly.
