    750 Katana Resurrection

    This is an E4 headlight approved for Holland, the dip will be the wrong way, Your original headlight glass is correct as there is no arrow this means it's for driving on the left. I'm pretty sure that it's the glass diffusing that determines where the beam focuses. If an E45, E47, E11 (Or any...

    GS1000S self cancelling indicators not working

    No, easy to get to. 1st picture shows the issue cause, he cleaned up the original relays, he said he didn't have anything with the original footprint, anyway it all works tickety boo now. I forgot to ask if they were one relay each side for indication. It makes sense that it ould be one left and...

    Poltergeist in my wiring for Halloween!

    Maybe this is related to your issue, something has high resistance somewhere and finally the insulation has broken down and caused a short..? None of my 1000 s' have ever had hot fuse box areas, my ones have only ever been the usual: 3 stator wire connectors, the main red wire connector that...

    Poltergeist in my wiring for Halloween!

    The 'live' is shorted to the 'switched' so that means Red is crossed with an Orange. Try disconnecting the four pin plug from the ignition switch if that doesn't fix it, look for a place where those two colours could short. (Headstock area)?

    GS1000S self cancelling indicators not working

    Often the reason why the auto cancel fails is that the module is replaced upside down and it fills with water (there is an indication arrow) My brother has an immaculate S that he has never ridden and recently had the exact same issue. Apparently, there are two relays inside, I forget what he...

    '82 GS1100G - Adjusting Shocks

    Gasp! All my feelings are hurt now..... :) My S runs perfectly well on the old fashioned old originals (with rebound adjust) I don't really have much of a reputation for lurking about.. I did have a set of Ohlins but I couldn't ride good enough to do them justice and flogged them anyway, plus I...

    Shindengen SH-775 installation.

    I recently changed out the stock R/R in an effort to give my old stator an easier time and help it last longer. It's exactly the same setup as my S. Here's what I did if it helps anybody.. The flasher unit was drilled out and relocated to the other side of the electrical plate and the wires...

    Tracking down a knock on a '78 GS400. Need help getting the cylinder off.

    My memory is a bit off, but here it is. Pretty hard to find in the 'net' but available still it seems on ebay Photo from Alpha Sports. Maybe a heel-toe prybar you will some purchase enough just to start the gasket, once its cracked it goes easy. Good luck Also it isn't made of ally

    Tracking down a knock on a '78 GS400. Need help getting the cylinder off.

    Back in the day Suzuki made a special tool for lifting the blocks, I was trying to find an image on google. It consisted of two flat blades of aluminum that is pivoted at the handle end with a cam that levered the block off, it wedged into the place you have shown.

    Tracking down a knock on a '78 GS400. Need help getting the cylinder off.

    Sorry this isn't how i remember these at all, is there nowhere at the back of the block? Once you have a place to point load from it goes really easy, it's just that initial crack. You're going to have an unenvious job scraping gaskets off.

    Tracking down a knock on a '78 GS400. Need help getting the cylinder off.

    There's a couple of places at the front of the cylinder block crankcase suitable, to put a bolt of exactly the right length bolt with the nut and unwind it, it breaks the gasket, it doesn't take much. Its also worth pressure washing the cylinders very thoroughly first to stop the dirt falling...

    speedometer gauge disassemby

    You might get some joy by squirting a little ACF50 or some lube where the cable fits. you need to get the outside of the bearing not the actual square hole. That works sometimes.

    Dropped wrist pin into crankcase??..

    Junk in the crank case.

    For the future, when the carbs are off you can get in with a pressure washer front and back, really give it a good squirting, spend plenty of time between the fins especially where the studs go through this will at least massively reduce or remove the dirt that can fall in also do it again after...

    GS 1000 gaskets
