    Starter motor needs a tap to work recently

    Gosh, yours is way cleaner than mine was. Everything inside mine was completely coated with black, powdery, carbon build-up. No doubt the 550 starter looks waaay more aggravating to get out than the 750, 850, 1000, 1100, and 1150's, hate it for you, but good luck. He's gone now, but my old...

    What plugs for 1980 GS550E ?

    Just looked at a parts fische from Suzuki parts monster and Suzuki partshouse & neither of them show a 1980 GS550E... The fische for the 1980 GS550L shows both a NGK B8ES or a ND W24ES-U

    Starter motor needs a tap to work recently

    Don't tap that starter very much, there are magnets glued to the inside of the case that can easily be jarred loose, then you have bigger problems. You need, at the least, a good cleaning inside, Do you have a local starter & alternator shop near by?

    Rear wheel swap

    Not sure about 550's but I ran the 18" spoked rear wheel off my "78" GS1000 on both my "79" GS1000S ( 18" cast wheel) and my "83" GS1100E (17" cast wheel)... One of the spacers that go against the brake caliper holder, thinking inside one, had to be used with the "wheel" it was designed for...
