GT750 BS40 Carb Floats

Post by asphalt900 »

Good Afternoon Gents! First post and new member. I'm in Kansas, USA. Working on some of those BS40's and have ran across a couple pin-holed floats, sinkers. What is a good source for these? Don't seem to be available NOS where i'm at. But..seem to be littered on ebay. Always being suspicious of that forums selection, where do You fella source one's for Your GT's? Clay

When I replaced mine they were still available from Suzuki, if they are no longer available, you may be limited on options, the older bikes sometimes require ebay, but be cautious, parts are advertised to fit your model but don't always.

CruzinImage has reproduction floats that they claim fit the 80-82 GS450s.
Many of those GS450s have CV carbs & use the same floats as the GT750. (Checked a few but all of them via Partzilla.)

If they fit, you can set the fuel level to account for slight differences in weight & buoyancy.
