    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.

Are all Suzuki Factory Service Manuals BACKWARDS?

I picked up a very nice Suzuki Factory Service Manual for the 1984-1986 GS550s from ebay. It was well used but not real dirty (which means the dealer service folks were using it).

The supplements are fine but the basic (bulk of the manual) is BACKWARDS! Page 1 is at the back and it runs; back to front, right page to left page. Is this some kind of thing about the Japanese reading in some different direction or something?

I plan to replace the 6 ring Suzuki binder with a 3 ring binder and put all the pages into sheet protectors so I can put the 6 ring holes toward the outside of the binder without having to worry about accidentally tearing pages along that edge.

Anyone else see this bazaar thing or is mine just unusual (punched wrong maybe)?
 
I have a bound manual for my 1100 and it is in the normal order. It starts with regular maintenance and ends with ammendments for each model year.

Try turning the book so that it is right side up.

I got a magazine a few months ago like that. All put together and stapled wrong. Probably an error at the printer when it was made.
 
no no... It's in Japanese format... heh sorry I am a huge anime and manga (japanese comics) fan... most asian languages are read from right to left... not the other way around... if you have factory service manuals it may have been translated but they didn't spend the money putting it in a "US" or western format....

the other thing to watch out for in service manuals that have been placed in a western format is "mirrored" pictures... to get everything lined up on the page they will mirror the original print... in the comics printed here it makes right handed characters look left handed and gives things that are supposed to be 3d drawn a weird spatial look....
