Gs650 gt 1981

[chessme]

Hi!
I usually find the info easily, I need on the Internet, but I need an answer to the following question:
Does this bike have an electronic ignition system or does it use point contacts and a capacitor? I came across a lucrative offer for a “Project Motorcycle”.
I would be grateful for any help!

Manufacturer - Make - Model - Year: Suzuki GS 650 GT 1981
Motorcycle style: Standard

1981 would be a GS650GX - T would be 1980. I don't believe there was a 1980 GS650. But anything 1980 and later SHOULD have electronic ignition/not points.

this is the Europe model.

I do note that the signal generator on the EU models is 33110-34210
on the US model, it is 33110-34220
I don't know the difference.

EU model Advance Governor is 33120-34210
same as.
US model Advance Governor is 33120-34210



Oh. Almost forgot. Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to GSR.

I was going to say that the GS650 was for 3 years only 81,82,83.
And 79 was last year for breaker point ignition on most all models.
(But my familiarity would be USA specific.)

Maybe you can compare the photos to what ever you might see in whatever you are looking at

Can't help it, Got to ask. No GS650 in 1980 ="T" yr. model. And best I can see only Standard "E" chain dr., Standard "G" shaft dr., (disco style) "GL" shaft dr., and the Sport "M" Katana models, no "T" model GS650's. Got to wonder what the 3 yrs of GS650GT is about?
