PE175 - what model is it?

[mboddy]

I have just been given a twin shock PE175. The frame number starts with 206.
What model is it? The Pure Enduro site doesn't mention 206 frame numbers.

[gerpster]

Are you sure its 206 and not 200??? 200 appears to be PE175 1980...

EDIT
your right ,got confused with the Rm T being a twin shock and the RM   X  firsts of the floaters but PE 'X' twin shock
or I can't read a chart

no it cant be a N and a 80
C=78
N=79
T= 80
X = 81

whats the full frame number? a photo will also help ID. the PE forum also has other frame/engine number charts.

if its got a black steel swing arm its 78
if its got black steel swing arm with snail cam chain adjusters its 79
if its got alloy swing arm with alloy bash plate its 80
if its got alloy swing arm with extra frame rails instead of alloy bash plate its a 81


thats the easiest way to tell, assuming parts havent been changed.

Thanks guys.
It has an alloy bash plate and I think it has an alloy swing arm.
It gets delivered on Tuesday.
Been a long time since I had a Suzuki!

Other than the bash plate, what is the difference between a T and a X?

[LWC82PE]

i will have to get back to you on that, once i remember what they all are, there are quite a number of things. i will do it a little later today.

[LWC82PE]

These are the main differences on the PE 175 X compared to PE 175 T (81-80)

Frame –six days bars instead of alloy bash plate, extra muffler mounting hole, little skid plates under vertical down tubes near foot pegs to stop those rails getting hooked up on logs etc because of no bash plate. Construction of steering head is welded together assembly that is much stronger that the one piece assembly previously used. Better steering stops.

Cylinder – exahaust port 1mm lower
Different head gasket = different compression ratio
Carburettor – jetting changes
CDI- different
Rear fender – larger tool bag platform
Front fender -  I don’t know what difference is
Taillight – different shape and construction
Muffler bracket – different
Tank/side cover stickers – X has white Suzuki and 175 on top of 3 blue stripes
Thicker piston rings
Stronger piston
Exhaust pipe – better sound deadening material
Rims -  stronger alloy, different nipple hole size
Spokes – thicker, stronger
Chain guide -  T has 2 rollers, X has 1 roller and 1 nylon block, alloy plates also different.
Muffler -  different
Air box boot hose clamps – different
Cylinder head rubbers.

there probably is a few more things im sure. Possibly different air box lid on Australian models (different size hole in lid) not 100% sure on that though.
