    Carb interchange

    I have an 82 gs550l, I'm searching for carbs. What other years/size should I be looking for?

      The BS32SS carb was used on all the GS's from the 550 to the 850 but there were some differences in rails, jets and choke assemblies.

      1982 GS850GLZ (Daily rider when the weather is crap)

      Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

        1980-1982 GS550 carbs should interchange.

        The GS650 carbs are similar, but the jetting will be different.

        I wouldn't mess with the '80+ 750 or 850 carbs, even though they are the same type, since the spacing and jetting will be different.
