    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.

Hi all. I am from Kent in the UK and have had a 1979 GS850G (not quite standard) for the last 6 years. Then got a 1986 GS850G (standard apart from handlebars), and a 1983 GS1000E (hardtail, very not standard) and another 1979 850G (well, engine and frame are at least). Would like to say thank you for the wealth of information gleaned from these forums. Am currently doing engine work (cylinder strip down as base gasket leak) - I do most of my own repairs, but engines always make me nervous. Would like to add that I have the Suzuki 850 Service Manual in pdf that I can share to anyone that wants it. Thanks

Hi Taboogs!
How did you get so far down the list without someone saying hello? Sorry! Lots of new members lately ...You'll be an asset to the forum with your Suzuki credentials!
Post up a picture or two of your bikes if you can manage it. We never get enough of ogling each others bikes!
 
Lol - thought it may have been because my bikes are mainly non standard. Bikecliffs site has been a big help - especially on vm carbs and specs. Having non standard bikes to start with has meant I had to learn quickly and have had fun with the gs's. I prefer older bikes anyway - my youngest one is a 1991 gsx600f katana. Pics will follow soon.

This was my first gs850g - learnt a lot about electrics with this one - especially after a headlight fire at 60mph!! Was always a nightmare to start and could also knock out tv signals within 50yards. . .
 
Yes welcome.

I too am in Kent.

Check the Facebook page in my signature to get local.

There is nothing on here these guys don't know about GS bikes. You are home from home.

Greetings
