[porter_jamie]

I happened to be thinking about this earlier, anyone a oil cooled gxsr geek? which bikes were fitted with them? i shall try and list the ones i can remember

750 slabby
1100 slabby
750 slingshot
1100k etc puff daddy shape
teapot 600
teapot 750?
bandit 600
bandit 1200

there must be some other suzukis that had them?

anything oddball such as a bimota?

[Nidge]

RF900, GSX1100F, GSX1100G?

[demographic]

Think the Bimota SB5 had an oil boiler (not burner you spanner) 1100 engine in it as well.

[Yorick]

RF900, GSX1100F, GSX1100G?

I bought a new RF900 in purple. My first brand new bike

[Asian Boss]

The RFs were water cooled.

Shit loads of Suzukis were air / oil cooled.

[KungFooBob]

GSX750 Inazuma?

[KungFooBob]

Some markets got a Blandit 750.

[KungFooBob]

GSX1200SS (although it's just a Blandit in a frock).

Without going into mega detail there are the following oil cooled Suzuki engines that I can remember

600 used in Bandits and Teapots
Long stroke GSXR750 (there are 4 versions of this)
Short stroke GSXR750
Short stroke GSX750 used in Bandits, Inazumas and Teapots
Slabby 1074
Slingshot 1127 (at least 2 versions)
GSX1100F tourer has a unique engine
GSX1100G shafty
Bandit 1200 used in Bandits, Inazumas and the GS1200SS

GSXR engines have straight cut primary gears and roller cam chains, Bandits have helical primaries and hyvo cam chains.

Bimota SB6 and 7 have water cooled GSXR engines, and you have to take the engine out to change the gearbox sprocket.

Doh!

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

SB5 had an air cooled GSX engine

[demographic]

SB5 had an air cooled GSX engine

Oops, fail on my part.
I should have realised it was 1135 and not 1127cc.

[Asian Boss]

GSX1200SS (although it's just a Blandit in a frock).

I think that was the GS1200SS.

Isn't any non watercooled bike with an oil cooler fitted essentially oil cooled? GS500E, 750 Katana and GSX1400 for example.

[KungFooBob]

I think that was the GS1200SS.

Whats an additional X between friends?

[Yorick]

The X meant 4 cylinder.

OR..

The 'GS' portion is a designation for Suzuki street bikes, going back a long ways. the 'X' means dual overhead camshafts, and the 'R' denotes racing.

[cheb]

I thought the X meant 4 valves per cylinder. GS is 2V per cylinder, GSX is 4V per cylinder across the range AFAIR.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

Whats an additional X between friends?

A lack of available partners?

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

I thought the X meant 4 valves per cylinder. GS is 2V, GSX is 4V across the range.

Correct for most of the world, but in the US, GSXs were sold as GSs

[cheb]

I'm such a little Englander.

Didn't those suzuki engines spray the underside of the piston with oil to cool it, or something specific?
