Suzuki GS 650 GZ and GX Katana Carburettor difference?

Post by craik » Fri May 01, 2015 1:57 pm

Hi,
Does anyone know if the carburettors on the GS 650 GZ and GS 650 GX Katanas are interchangeable and set up the same?
I've looked at an old parts microfiche for the 2 models but was none the wiser.
Have seen a secondhand carburettor assembly, listed as "Suzuki GS650G - part no 13201-34390", and wanted to know if it will fit the GZ model.
Thanks in advance for any info.

The only difference between GX and GZ ones is the coke mounting/ operation, though you can easily swap one to the other.

As for difference between all 650 G Being GT or Katana carbs is just different needles for US market and rest of world.......yanks can't adjust theirs.
650E carbs will fit. But the jets are different. Due to it being a chain version.
