Ever since it first came out, I've wanted a GSXR-1100. So I enjoy thinking, "if I just go upstate and cross into Canada, I'm only one letter away."
What year is your 11E? Any pics?1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red
2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

Not a single one of those letter groupings is a recognizable word.

It's the engine. 4 valves per cylinder. These all have square cam-end covers so they're easy to spot...the engine likely has "gsx -(ccs ) "stamped on it at least my gsx 400 does as in "GSX-40" missing a zero.
All are screw-adjust tappets, I think.
If you goto cmnsl,(a parts catalogue) whatever it says on the plastic sidecover badge, or the brochure, it's best to look up your bike as a Gsx if you have one so you get the model with the right engine and carbs...
