    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...

    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.

1981 850GS G Gaskets

Hi, I have a 1981 GS850 G. I need a few bottom end gaskets, I ordered from a reputable online store but received gaskets that are close but a few holes out/not exact fit. I've heard they're are US models/EU models etc. How can I tell what market my bike was built for and know exactly which gaskets to order? Any suggestions on a good place to order gaskets? I need a new oil pan gasket, stator cover as well as right side engine cover gaskets.

Thanks very much.

OEM Suzuki gaskets are the best. Order from your favorite source. Parts Outlaw is the cheapest place I know but I'm not sure if they ship to Canada. I'm unaware of any difference in gaskets between US and other locations.
 
Not fitting cleanly is fairly common for non oem. Round here the bottom gasket is about 12 quid from Suzuki. Not worth haggling at that price.
That said I got a complete NE engine set last year. The bottom gasket fitted fine. The headgasket needed a few holes filed open.
Fingers crossed everything is still dry.
