Suzuki 2 Strokes

Hi, I’m a newby here just got a 75 GT 500 which I’m just starting to restore. I’ve just started looking for parts and have noticed that most are listed as 76 and 77 , is there any difference between the 75 & 76 models?.

Thanks for your help and probably a lot more in the future.

Welcome to the forum.

The T500 version is from 1968 through 1975. The GT500 is 1976 & 1977.
T500 has a drum front brake, points ignition & external fork springs. The GT500 has a disk front brake, PEI ignition (no points), & internal fork springs.

For general info & some pics see: http://www.suzukicycles.org/T-series/T5 ... gsc.tab=0

Thanks, that’s what I was hoping would be the case.
