    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

hey Guys, It has been a long time since I last posted. I had a 79 gs850, but have long ago sold it. :cry:

Anyway, I about to go look at a "new" bike a 79 gs 1000. The bike has very low KMs (22000) the bike apparantely runs well as the km's would suggest it has gotten very little use. What should I be concerned with becuase it has had very little use. The carbs have been cleaned I don't know if they had been syn'd or not. It has the stock air box with a 4into 1 header and can on it. Don't know if it has been rejetted or not. the guy only wants $850 for it so I guess I shouldn't complain or worry too much about it! They do "hang together" rather nicely don't they!

Thanks

Ps. I will get a manual for it but for now what is the procedure for adjusting the cam chain?
 
Ah yes, the 79-80 GS 1000, the bike that made Suzuki famous. Nice.

Hopefully it was stored inside for those years of sitting around.
 
See if it smokes at high rpm.
My 1000 needed valve guides......then while it was apart......

Listen to the clutch area, for the famous basket noise.
Otherwise just the normal stuff, electrics, brake lines, bearings and clean the carbs.
