    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.

High i am new to this forum and this is my first post i recently bought a 82 gs450L and i need to rebuild or replace my petcock i found OEM petcock for 101 and some change i was wondering if there were any other options for petcocks maybe some that are not vacuum petcocks. the old one was leaking from the face and also allowing fuel to drain into the carbs. Any help would be very appreciated

If $81 bonez is a little steep for that petcock I rebuilt mine on my 450T for the cost of a kit -$25- and its been running strong for nearly 10k miles!

It is, but I think it'll go down when this sale hits. Those kits sometimes don't work out well for most folks.
 
I got my replacement petcock through Z1 Enterprises. It was about $30 cheaper than the Suzuki OEM part, and it's every bit as good.
