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.

Mikuni Carbs on GS450L

Does anyone know what model of Mikuni Carbs Suzuki put on the '82 GS450L. I just got this bike for a steal - 6000 miles and the carb needs some work. I'm trying to find a rebuild kit or buy the parts I'll need to tear it down, clean it, and put it all back together. In the meantime, 1/2 a bottle of carb cleaner in the tank will have to do the trick!
 
I too have a 82GS450 and I am looking for a carb rebuild kit also. Let me know what you find. Gas is leaking out the seals :x

Nobody seems to carry much for this gs450 no matter what kinda part it is.

Good luck on your bike, I just got mine too but for free! long story.
NOw that really is a steal.
 
Ok I called a Suzuki dealership and they can sell all the parts for the carb individualy, but there isn't a kit! Kinda sucks and its a very high price to pay.

I was wondering maybe one of the other models kits like the gs550 would use the same o rings and gaskets as the gs450 carb. Maybe they are the same carbs besides the jets? Just a thought.

Try a company called K&L Supply or Tourmax. They should make a kit for your bike. Go to a non-dealer for this. I'm sure they would be happy to help you. 8)
 
WARNING!!! WARNING!!! BEEP 8O BEEP 8O

YOU MAY BE SORRY IF YOU USE CARB CLEANER--USE GAS TREATMENT
 
No, you're right - carb cleaner = bad. It was Valvoline's gas treatment product and it worked like a champ. Runs like a new bike... :lol:
