Does anyone know the different engine models that would fit into a 1990 gs500e, if any ?
Cheers

Pretty sure any gs500 motor from 1989 till the latest year is a straight swap. I have a 91 motor in my 2009 chassis! I just swapped the motor and kept all the newer electrical parts.
91 Suzuki GS 500 (in pieces)
06 Suzuki GS 500F (not running)
09 Suzuki GS 500E (done!)
07 Suzuki RMZ-250 supermoto
03 Triumph Speed 4
05 Triumph Daytona 600
07 Triumph Speed Triple 1050
16 KTM 500 exc

All GS500 years will fit ('89 - '09 in the USA). I believe it was 2000 and 2003 that had no GS500s.
1999 was the last year of the original the wiring harness, tachometer, and carburators so if you use a 2001+ engine you will need to accommodate those changes.

There was a 2000. Just no 03 in US.
Cool.
