Suzuki GSXR question

Ok anoraks and motorcycle encyclopedias what year model is a GSXR/ W -and is
that the 750 or 1100 or could it be either ?

(cruising ebay on a wet day and needing to know whether to bid)

 

"W" stands for watercooled - the w's went from 92 94 I think. 92 was the
WN, 93 the WP and 94 the WR - generally the heaviest of the gixxers,
you'd be better off with a 96 or later.

Thanks for the info G. Is the W designation applied to both the 1100 and the 750
?

Not looking at the whole bike - just the rear shock - the Bandit has preload
adjustable only, apparently the fully adjustable on out of the GSXR1100 and
early 90's 750 are a bolt in swap and there's one going cheap on Ebay (well I
*think* $30 is cheap anyway, haven't actually priced around at wreckers)

I think the W series ran all models 600/750/1100 from 1993 through 1998 or
1999

Nev..

 

Ta. I've stuck my bid in, hopefully it'll be the right one then, if not it'll
make a paperweight

Does the same go for the TLR?? My model is TL1000RW ('98)

 

chris coote did exactly that to his bandit 1200 over here in oz, get hold of
him and he should be able to help ypu out

 

Thanks scrok, I know Chris, I'll give him a buzz.

 

OK I've got this back from the seller -

"it has a gold sticker on it suzuki motor company ltd made by showa
has preload
of 1 - 5 damping 1-4 measures 13" bolt to bolt from atop to bottom"

She didn't know whether it was off the 750 or 1100 (I'm guessing she's
cleaning out the garage of the ex boyfriends junk

So, guys, whaddaya reckon it's off ?

I'm not so keen on it now I know it's not 3 way adjustable .

So yo would think that it would be GSX-R1000-2K3 but that would sound stupid
i guess.
