    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 am buying a 79 Gs850 from a friend and needs a little but of work.

gonna have to replace the speedo and tach neither work right now.
most likely a short in the starter as well, and will needs replaced.
where some places to find these parts?
 
Check in the classified section in the forum. Some people parting ot bikes.
 
Also try the old fail safe standby....eBay.
If you do the searches under different names,i.e...Suzuki,GS,GS850. You'll be amazed at how many different ways things can be listed.
Good luck.
 
since im getting a 79, what other year bikes can i get parts from?

I would pull the starter apart and check the brushes before buying one. You can get the just the brushes from the internet for about $12 I think or the whole brush plate for like $32. I did the brushes in my 83GS1100GK and after putting it all back together it wouldn't turn over so I bought one off of ebay for about $50 then read a post that said something about getting the two screws that hold it all together too tight. So I tried loosing them on my original starter and it works fine now :oops: :oops: so if it turns out that you need the starter I've got one for sale. The starter that I bought was off of an 850 and it is a two brush where as the one off of mine is a four brush, but they are interchangable.
 
well we pulled the bike off the trailer today, and it looked like the battery was almost bone dry, so its a good possiblilty its just a bad battery. fingers crossed.
