So far touch wood all is well with the GSX; I did have to put a battery in it when I got it, and replaced the oil cooler, which had small cracks in it around the threads. 24 bucks from eBay, and Bob's your Suzuki.
The GSX 750 ES 1985 model is an excellent all rounder, extreme comfort with superb power delivery.
It must do about 45 mpg; even on a fast day it's not much different.
For a 24 year old bike, she still likes the odd burst up to 130mph, and whistles along happily at 80 to 120.
I agree with your review. Nice dependable bike. I own an 1983 model and would like to know where in the U.S. I can find charging system parts? Also any other parts used or new, I need a flywheel also.
Hi: I've had a nice GSX750ES since 2006, and I ran 120.000 kilometers crossing every time Los Andes (almost 5000 meters high) from Argentina to Chile and have had no problem.
I´m 45 and drive any kind of bikes since I was 17, and I can say that is the most comfortable bike I had (including XL600v Transalp).
You can find all kind of spares by ebay in the UK. In USA, the bike was known as the GS700, GSX750ESD, and GSX750ES, with little differences. Sorry for my low level of english, but the spirit on a bike is the same. Good Luck from Argentina. Humberto.
suarezhum@hotmail.com if you want pics of my travels.
I also have GSX750ES bought on December 2005. This bike was used as police bike during 1986 until 1996, even now several bikes of this type still being used by police departments.
Mine already has a full restoration to original condition, and still runs superbly although it's 22 years old.

I have an 80 something GSX750 ES, which I have just purchased, and I love it.
Can someone tell me what final drive sprocket sizes I should run? At present my motor is running 5000 RPM at 100 KPH or 60 MPH, which seems a bit high to me, and I expect someone has changed the ratio.
I say it's an 80 something because it was regod new as a 1990, as was my second bike, which is for parts, but has the engine Number only 3 digits different to my good bike. Last number 3 on one, and 6 on the other, so same batch I'm guessing. I can't find anything on these bikes that would make a 1990 model possible, and any help would be appreciated.
Cheers from NZ, Bernie.
