    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.

I Hate my Carbs and stock air cleaner!

Carbs and air cleaner to hard to take on and off. No room to reach anything! Sill no RRRR's !!! I'm sick of it !! SICK OF IT!! Well, Think I'll take them off and Bench syinc. again. Start, Fresh. It really likes to run with my hand part way blocking air cleaner intake. But would make it hard to ride that way.
 
Was the air cleaner oiled when you installed it?

are the air box seals properly in place, or were they sealed with weather stripping if you didn't have the originals?

what are the fuel levels set to when measured externally?
(you'll need to get a spare float bowl drain screw to drill, if you make your own)
 
It's true that Suzuki didn't do us any favors in terms of serviceability of the airbox. Some models are worse than others; the 850 for example is way easier than the 550. Once you take the carbs in and out a couple of times you get the hang if it and things get easier.

Most important thing is to fix the carbs properly so you don't have to take them in and out. I'd guess to say that about 75% of newbies don't do a proper carb rebuild so then they have to take them off a second, or third, time.

Follow the procedure on the GSR homepage, get fresh o-rings from cycleorings.com, don't cut any corners, and you should only have to do the job once.:)
