    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.

question 1: suzuki part number 08351-11009. it's a grease fitting inside the clutch pin pusher mechanism. anyone know what size this fitting is? none of the grease guns i have fit the thing. granted i only have guns that will fit on stuff like tractors, cars, lawnmowers, brush hogs, etc.

question 2: on my fuel tank, right side, where the fuel gauge sender is, there's a tube. is that just a vent? is it supposed to be connected to anything or is it open air?
parts 14 and 18 on https://www.suzukipartshouse.com/oemparts/a/suz/50d3f26df8700230d8b4be2a/fuel-cock

question 3: can put a lithium ion battery on this bike, or should i stick to SLA?

1: IDK anything about the grease fittings, sorry.

2: Tube connected to the fuel level sending unit is a drain that hopefully will never see a drop of fuel. It’s there in case the gasket ever leaks. It’s typically routed over the carbs then behind the engine case in front of the swingarm to the ground. Your factory service manual or Clymers/Haynes should show how it’s routed.

3: see LAB3's comment below about lithium. They are small and able to be positioned however you want, but they are expensive, may need a special R/R, and don't take kindly to being depleted beyond a certain point. This from the little I've read on them. A sealed lead-acid AGM battery is preferred by most. - What is SLA?

If you go with a Lithium battery you had best get yourself another regulator/rectifier that can work with the voltages that battery needs to function properly. AGM (Absorbed glass mat) is the best bang for your buck in my opinion.
