    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Anyone have any idea why the two link difference in the chain length for the 1983 GS1100E vs ES?
 
according to Alphasports Fiche they are different,

The only way that could be is if they were different gear ratios from each other & NONE I have had were different ratios. Maybe they are listing the ES as what the 1150 is supposed to be.

Alpha sports is wrong. Suzuki parts fiche shows both with the same part number: 12760-45040

This should settle things. If, in fact, the E’s are meant to have two fewer links, and they use the same swingarm, then the chain adjuster would have to be longer to accommodate the axle being ? inch further from the end of the swingarm, AND the wear marks on the adjuster would have to be in a different position than on the ES’s so that if a 98 link chain was put on a stock E, as was done in mine, the chain would appear to need replacing. The two pictures below show that exactly. The first picture shows my stock ES and the second shows my stock E with a 98 link chain—which until now I thought needed to be replaced.

E's use 96 links. ES's use 98.
