    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

    Vancouver Newbie Looking To Learn

    Ditto on starting your own thread. Start with an intro post in the "GS Owners" section. Notice that the thread you responded to is over 3 1/2 years old and the person you addressed is listed as a guest, which probably means he is no longer on the forum (at least not under that name).

    Carb Sync test drive

    I just got back from a short (60 mile :D) test drive after syncing the carbs with my new Carbtune. And they needed it, too. #1 was way high, 2 and 4 were both somewhat higher than #3. The only difficult part was the lock nut on #2. I wound up having to loosen the choke/throttle plate that was...

    Coil interchangeability

    I just measured my coils while I have the tank off for carb sync. Readings were 4.8 ohms and 4.9 ohms. (BTW, the G&S Suzuki fiche shows our coils as 33410-31311 (replaces 33410-34210).

    Missing rear caliper parts

    It looks like your parts are available from the OEM suppliers. Here's one option, there are others you can compare prices, shipping and delivery times. http://www.gssuzuki.com/fiche_section_detail.asp?section=94812&category=Motorcycles&make=SUZUKI&year=1980&fveh=2135

    Repositioning foot controls??

    There have been a few who have built their own and possibly some universal kits that might work. Do a site search for "forward controls".
