GT750 fork identification and oil capacity

Post by A.Holley »

I have a bit of a Frankenstein front end on my T500
It has GT750 disc brake forks, fitted with a GT750J 4LS drum brake.
It was an easy fit, nececitated by it being the only fork assy I had , and I really wanted the drum brake.
Only problem is, I am not sure what model GT750 the forks come off.
Are there differences between between different year models, or are they all the same.
And what fork oil capacity for each type?
I have seen several different figures .
Just want to get the correct one.

Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Thanks for that Alan,
Going by the fact that it doesn’t have fork gaiters and it has a chrome dust seal on top of fork seal,
That makes it L model
Much appreciated

I believe they are the same forks as the RE5 and are rarer than a very rare thing.
This site should also help - https://alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm - with exploded diagrams and part numbers. Choose year, model, part area etc. I use it a lot even though I have parts manuals!
