    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.

So I finally bought a Dynojet Stage 3 jet kit. First step: replace diaphragm needles. How do you get this apart?

I can't find any info on this little step in the project. I see no way that this just unscrews.
I'm losing my mind.

Its off a 1982 GS 650g

No, he needs long straight snap ring pliers. Go to your Suzuki dealer & ask the parts guy to show you the Suzuki tool in his computer. I got my set from Snap On but they quit making them. Or these: http://www.amazon.com/GearWrench-82033-Double-External-Pliers/dp/B001M0O1KM/ref=pd_sxp_grid_i_0_2

That said.....for a one time only deal, my first tool was a one dollar Harbor Freight Needle Nose pliar set up. Filed the tips to easily fit into the snap ring holes.

Be sure to note the orientation of the plastic Guide Body that is under that snap ring. Fits in one way only.

I have one of those long 5 piece hook kit and I used the 22 degree and the hose removal hooks and the snap rings come right out. The snap ring can go flying so be careful
 
well that figures. I have the Motion Pro right angle pliers coming on Monday. Their reach is 50mm and the inside of this diaphragm is barely an inch. I'm wondering if the orange plastic needling housing will be in the way with these.
 
X 3 on the needle nose pliers. I also used the Harbor freight route.
 
A straight shot snap ring plier works if the outside edges of the tool above the prongs are ground down a bit with a dremel, angle grinder or file. Found at any decent hardware store.
