if things have not been swapped around and this engine is how it came from suzuki............
that is a 1982 GS1100E engine.
that is a 1982 GS1100E engine.
But head is identical to 83 (but with the smaller 82 cams), but since the whole motor is silver I would guess late 82 as well. Would be nice if it had a big end crank as well. Need to pull the clutch cover and look for evidence of a welded crank.
It is marked parts motor so maybve it is an 82 with spun crank
late/early/summer/winter/spring/fall 82 always had a 24 bolt VC and was silver in color.
i have heard of the mysterious "82 big end/welded cranks but i believe its in the single percentage of the engines/bikes floating around today(less than 10%).
if a bike was repaired at a dealership and had an "83 spec" crank installed under warranty...IMO..that does not count as a factory "82 big end/welded crank" engine.
i have never seen/touched one myself.
:-s:-s:-s
just the facts mam...

Thanks everyone for all the input! I have 1981 GS750 that i plan on dropping a 1100e into. I was told that the 80-81 would be the years the mounted the same or similar to the 750 motor. Any truth to that. What about 82-83?
These are options but gives you an idea of what works: thse brackets are not absolutely required but personally anything to stiffen the frame I would use.

heres what will work..
80-86 1100-1150 will bolt right into your frame without any kind of motor mount kits.
the bottom center triangle mount will need to be made "off set" or don't even use it...bandits quit using these mounts all together.
