What kind of head does a Suzuki 650 have?
The 650 top end, in either version, is a mixture of old-style Suzuki four-stroke and Suzuki’s latest ideas. The 16-valve head with lever-type followers isn’t used on the 650. Like the original Suzuki four-strokes, the 650s use eight valve heads with bucket and shim followers connecting the double overhead camshafts to the valves.
What’s the difference between Suzuki GS 650 and G 650?
That difference, of course, means that the G operates with higher oil pressures and a different oil pump. The 650 top end, in either version, is a mixture of old-style Suzuki four-stroke and Suzuki’s latest ideas.
Where can I buy a Suzuki gs650 manual?
The picture is borrowed from the cover of the Clymer repair manual for the Suzuki GS650 Fours, 1981-1983 manual. Click on the image on the left to get to the Amazon UK website where you can buy the manual if you need it.
What should the RPM be on a Suzuki 650?
Start the 650 and it immediately revs to 4000 rpm. In the not-too-distant past, when the choke was pushed in a touch the engine would die and the procedure of full choke, rev to 4000 rpm, less choke and stall could be repeated several times before leaving the driveway. It’s getting better.
What kind of car was the Suzuki GS650G?
1982 Suzuki GS650G Here’s a picture of my old Suzuki. It’s a 1982 Suzuki GS650G at the top of Stunt Road in the Santa Monica mountains in California. I was looking for an old Japanese standard from the 70’s, preferably a Suzuki GS1000E chain-drive model, which I owned a long time ago and really liked.
What’s the valve clearance on a Suzuki GS550?
Stick with what the factory manual says. For the Suzuki GS550 I’m playing with today, it’s 0.001″ – 0.003″ or 0.03 – 0.08 mm. Double check yourself when looking at the reading on the feeler gauge. It’s easy to get confused and mix up thousandths of an inch with mm.
How many valves does a Suzuki GSX750 have?
In this GSX750 engine, Suzuki have been clever and used rockers with screw and locknuts enabling them to use a camshaft that was probably designed for an eight-valve motor. Very easy to adjust, and no parts to swap over. Then we have buckets with a shim for adjustment.
How are valve clearances done in a four stroke engine?
Because we’re dealing with valve clearances today, we’ll stick with those. In modern engines, the poppet valves in a four-stroke engine are either machined perfectly to form a seal against the ‘seats’ in the head, or lapped in with grinding paste to match them together (older engines).
