I have an 83 GS550ES and I need to replace the starter. I was wondering can I possibly use starters from other years and model sizes.
Thanks

You might want to check one of the electrical parts sources like Rick's to see if the part numbers interchange between different models. http://www.ricksmotorsportelectrics.com/index.php
Edit: in searching through at Rick's it seems that many of the Suzuki starters are the same. I have a couple of spares so drop me a PM if you are interested in purchasing used.Last edited by Nessism; 03-22-2009, 11:48 AM.Ed

That Stockers place shows more starter part numbers than Rick's. Not sure what's going on with that. They also list two brush starters and four brush starters. Seems like Suzuki might have used more than one supplier.Another place to x-ref starters: http://www.stockers.com

My first GS was a GS850GZ (1982). The stock four-brush starter went bad on it, and I replaced it with a used two-brush starter off a 1979 GS850G. It fit and worked just fine.
I know this thread is about a GS550, yet I thought I'd share my "interchangeability" experience. I suspect the GS1100G and GS1000G starters are also interchangeable (probably the same as the 850's).Comment
