    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...

Cam chain tensioner blades

Does anyone know whether these are still availabke for the GS750. Mine is a 1979 model. It looks like a top end overhaul may required, along with a rebore, and I reckon the blade will be worn out too. Also need to get some valve guides. Got a full set of valves and springs still in the oilpaper for ?10.00 at an autojumble a while ago, but don`t want to use them in the old worn guides. My local Suzuki dealer is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard, don`t seem interested if bike is more than five years old !. Any advice ast to where I might be able to get these bits and bobs much appreciated. Thanks.
 
Lots of part sources in the US but that doesn't help you much living on the other side of the Alantic like you do. :)

Regarding the the tensioner guides, most likely they will be fine. Inspect them first and then decide.

Have you tried in oldskoolsuzuki.info and asking in there, its a english site and have heaps of stuff there.
 
What is the mileage? It's essential to replace the valve guide seals as part of a top end rebuild, but valve guides and tensioner blades don't wear out too quickly on these bikes.
