    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.

Half moon seals

I am getting ready to tackle the valve adjustment on my 85 GS700ES and I am not sure whats going on with these half moon seals. I checked a parts diagram at cheepcycleparts.com and it looks like they are intergrated into the valve cover gasket. Is that true or am i getting bad info? Also it seems like realgaskets.com does not have a gasket for my model bike. Can anyone confirm any of this. I would like to have all the parts required onhand before starting the project. please advise.
 
The gasket for you bike is completely different from the earlier GS's. Most likely you can reuse the stock gasket because it's rubber, not paper. If you don't want to gamble, order up a new stock gasket. There are no half moon pieces for your bike, they are built into the gasket as you noted.
 
Thank you Nessism, I will shop around for some deals on OEM gaskets for my bike.
 
The best bets are usually Boulevard Suzuki or G&S Suzuki, but sometimes the others might beat them by a little bit.

When doing some major shopping, I will generate a spreadsheet to compare prices. If there are a couple that are close, I will also compare shipping charges.
