    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

I am looking for information on the shim sizes and clearances for an 81 gs550t.Can you help?
 
Have you checked a service manual? Most should give it. If you need to measure what shims you have, a dial caliper can give you a pretty accurate measurment. I don't have a manual for a 550, so that's all the help I can be of ~

Surely someone on here can chime in with that info, I know there's a service manual or two floating around some members' garages ~

I have a soft copy of the GS550 original Suzuki Factory workshop manual. PM me if you would like and I'll see if I can send it to you. I think it is fairly large.

Cheers

Thanks everybody, we have the info now. All of the valves were way too tight. We found shims at our local Suzuki dealer. Got 6 shims for 20 bucks. Not too bad. Now on to my petcock issues! Thanks DimitriT, I use the same service, great for big downloads.
