How do you remove your battery from a suzuki gs1100e motorcycle?
Very easy once you know how.....very hard until you do. First, lift battery up and tip to the rear. The more you tip it, the further you can lift it. You'll get to a height where the front bottom of the battery clears the box. Rotate battery sideways (clockwise) while pulling slightly rear. Tip battery up and lift out. Keep trying - this is the only way I know.
What is a gs1100g Suzuki?
The GS1100g is a model of motorcycle made in the early eighties by Suzuki. Suzuki named their bikes using a formula, much like BMW does with their automobile lines, that goes like this: <model series> <displacement in cubic centimeters (cc's)><model specifics designation>and<year produced>. The GS was an engine-type manufactured by Suzuki and found in many bike models from the mid-seventies up until quite recently. The 1100 in the name of the bike stands for engine displacement (1100cc), though Suzuki made many sizes of GS bikes, 550cc, 850cc, and 1000cc, to name a few. But that isn't all the name can tell you about a GS1100G, there were two or three versions of the GS1100 depending on the model year. The GS1100E was a 16 valve 'sport' version with a chain drive, while the bike in your question, the GS1100G, was an 8 valve shaft-driven model that was marketed as a touring bike and with lower maintenence requirements than it's sporty 'E' cousin. The GS1100GK was an even more dedicated tourer to compete with Honda's unfortunately successful Goldwing line - Suzuki manufactured fairings, bags, and accesories that were sold on the bike. They were pretty hideous and didn't last long. Last but not least in your bike title, you can find another letter at the end of the name that designates the year the bike was built. A GS1100GZ, for instance, would be a GS1100G built in 1982. These letters designating model year aren't in alphebetical order, but a chart could probably be found pretty easily online. Two great sites that can answer more questions about Suzuki motorcycles, or the GS line in particular are: Suzukicycles.org, with lovely pictures of almost all the Suzuki motorcycles ever built (hats off to the Swedish Suzuki guru, Jarmo Haapamaki), and thegsresources.com, a really fantsatic overview of the GS bikes. To answer your question with my own personal bias, the GS1100G is a good-looking, well designed, and powerful muscle-bike that was built like a tank and rides like a racehorse. A damn fine machine in all regards.
