    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.

Got this 450GSA. It has front air asst forks- much like an 1100 (I thinks?) and some other suzuki bikes.
Tried to unscew the air nut. Tried pressing down and picking out the wire ring seal. Tried beating, cursing, praying.:rolleyes:
How do yall get these off?

Looks to me like you press down on air nut gizmo, and with your third hand pop circlip ring out of groove (use little screwdriver) and pull out air nut/stopper. beware spring pressure!
 
Small socket on the end of an extension. Pop the socket over the air valve and give it a sharp tap - this will free off the cap (just a tap - don't beat the hell out of it). Then just push down gently to expose the circlip and pop it out with a small screwdriver. The key is that sharp tap, just to loosen things off.
