    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.

Well, looks like I am in need for some gaskets. Specifically, valve cover gaskets. Where do you all get yours from?
 
I got mine at the local shop. They are hard to beat on some stuff. Only thing I have not purchased there is chain and sprockets Helmet came from newenough. flatout got the nod for a stator cover and gasket.

If you are planning on keeping the bike for a while, think about a Realgasket.
It can be reused over and over again, and they don't leak.
 
Hi Mr. Outlander,

Which bike are we talking? I use the Real Gasket (reusable silicone) gasket on my valve cover and breather. Makes checking the valves a much quicker job. For other gaskets, it depends. For onsie-twosie I usually order from the local dealer (no shipping). For larger orders, Z1, BikeBandit, or other major online vendor.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
Real Gaskets are nice for the 8 valve engines that have the tach gear in the head. If you have a 550, with tach gear in the valve cover, the Real Gasket is too thick and will keep the tach gear from properly meshing with the exhaust cam gear drive. Using a stock gasket if better for this application.
 
Buy the valve cover gasket at your local Suzuki dealer. I find most on ebay more expensive than your local dealer. I pay $17 Can, Ted
