Suzuki DS100 Motorcycle - Dual-Sport (1978-1981)

The Suzuki DS100, produced from 1978 to 1981, was a versatile dual-purpose motorcycle designed for the North American market. It was powered by a robust 98 cc air-cooled, single-cylinder, 2-stroke engine, delivering 11 horsepower (8.2 kW) at 7,500 rpm. This engine, a detuned version of the RM100 competition unit, was optimized for flexibility and reliability, maintaining consistent displacement and power output throughout its production run. While the engine remained unchanged, the DS100 received notable styling and suspension updates for the 1980 model year. These enhancements included new RM-styling, longer rear travel suspension, and dogleg levers. The fenders and fuel tank were also updated to resemble those of the RM100, and the bike became available in red. Despite these visual and handling improvements, the model was primarily offered as a single "Base" trim, with internal designations like DS100C, DS100N, DS100T, and DS100X simply indicating the model year. The DS100 was discontinued after 1981. Q: How do I ensure I'm selecting parts for my specific DS100 model year?
