    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

Brake disc interchangeable between models

I'm changing the brake discs on my GS '79 G
Looking online I could find brake discs for the G model and the GN model. A quick look into the manual and it says
most service procedures and data remain the same unless specifically listed as changed
Click to expand...
and I didn't find anything about the brake discs changing, but I just want to tripple check before I burn some money

So the question is: Will the GN model rear brake discs fit my G model?
I was looking at these front and rear discs.

The 79 GS850G is the GN model.
The 80 GS850G is the GT model.
So, you're good to go.
For what it's worth, I commonly swap wheels between my 79 and 80 bikes. Only downside is the solid discs on the earlier bike, but as I'm not much of a rain rider these days, it's not really a worry.
 
Well first Mr. Forgetful, seems you're new to the site, so first WELCOME aboard. Also seems you may be new to Suzuki GS bikes. I recommend go to our home page, then Model info., it's amazing how much you can learn there pretty quick.. To your question all GS850's are "G"'s, but none are just GS850G, all have other letters that go with the "G" that farther describes it. Model info is a quick read with a lot of info you may need to know. The GS850's are known for being really great bikes. Luck to ya and keep us informed about your bike... Remember we here really like pictures..
 
The larger single brake model discs don't interchange with the dual brake ones and the oldest of the dual brake models (1978/1979) discs don't work with the newer calipers but other than that have at it... :)
