Hello everyone!

Briefly:

I couldn't ride my bike for a year and though i sort of looked after it, the carbs got messy...

I've stripped/ cleaned them up, but the springy bits in both the float valves are seized and both carbs are randomly over-filling all the time.
Now, the cost in the U.K for 2 of these valves from Suzuki are about $140 US!!!!

I can get 2 pattern sevicing kits for about $60 US but only for pre-2001 models.

Now, post-2001 GS's (like my K2) have slightly different Carbs -3 jets instead of 2.

My question is, does anyone know for sure if the float valves are the same? -I'll gladly chuck the rest of the kit away and use the valves, or post the rest to one of you guys!

yes

Wow ... wait a sec there ... I am thinking it will not.
Tonight I can confirm.
But The float assy on an 01 is vastly different from 89-00.
Cool.

PHEW!

I'm sooo glad I didn't order it yet!
Thanks!!

www.mrcycles.com or www.bikebandit.com.  Both sites have fiches.  If they have the same part number, then they will work.

Thanks Egaeus  !!!

I didn't know you could browse Suzi fiches online!
(DUH!)

I'll check!

I thought they changed in the 90's? Like 95~ish like the EX500...that's when their carbs changed.

The GS carbs had a major change in 2001, and a minor change in 2004.

Looks like I'm out of luck!

Here are the different float valve part numbers from a certain parts website:


1989-2000:
13370-02D00  (replaces 13370-44B00)

2001-2002:
13370-33E80

2004-2006 (K4,K5,K6)
13370-04F00

I wish I lived in the U.S !!!!  -genuine suzuki parts are half the cost of the UK!!

I'm sorry, because they're outrageous here.  The black cap on top of the carb is $18.  $18 for 10 cents worth of plastic....
