    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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've had this bike for three days now, and so far discovered a few important things. The engine is turning, it has spark, and it is really close to actually starting.

Since I don't have a camera I copied the pictures from the Craigslist ad. They're pretty accurate.

I've ordered a new tank off of ebay. The starter button broke so I've ordered an aftermarket set of controls from Dime City Cycles. It needs a new battery so next time I go into town I plan on picking one up. Aside from all that, I'm going to pull the carbs and clean them.

It also has no air filter. Would anyone happen to know what is the best kind for this bike? I have an airbox and the carbs and that is it, so no real idea what kind to get. The manual I have seems to indicate that there's a piece for mounting the air filter.
 
Get a K&N from any bike shop or even the stock Suzuki one is okay to get yourself back on the road. If you're missing the cage for it you'll want to hit Ebay to find a new one.
