    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.

Should be an easy one for any other '79 owner... Also if I can get them from Suzuki dealer or will I need to buy online. I like to talk to people face to face and get things NOW!
 
Hi,

It's easy for you to do it yourself. Click HERE and look on the cylinder head page once you click on your year and model. You can even give them a call. Or just let your local dealer order them for you. Dealer prices can be full retail but you don't have to pay shipping. Do some comparison shopping using the list of vendors in your "mega-welcome". Nobody can get them to you "now". These parts are almost never in stock and must be ordered from Japan.

Thank you for your indulgence,

Hi,

Click HERE.

Under the Suzuki Motorcycle Replacement Parts (OEM) section, click on your YEAR in the left pane.

Once you have clicked on "1979" you well see the right pane fill up with all of the available models. Click on your model.

Once you have clicked on "GS850G 1979" it will be highlighted in blue. Then click on the big red "FIND YOUR OEM PARTS" button.

The next page will be a listing of all of the sub-components and sub-assemblies of your motorcycle. Click on the "Air Cleaner" link. Click on the "Large Image" button to get the fiche picture to open up in another window. Otherwise you can click and drag the picture around in the current frame.

You want #16 in the air cleaner fiche picture.

I must apologize. Most "intake pipes" are listed in the "Cylinder Head" fiche picture. For some reason it's different for the '79 850G. :o

Most online parts fiches will work the same. I use the fiches at partshark.com and alpha-sports.com for comparison.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Also, see if your local dealer has web ordering

Mine does, and it's often price comparable to order from them (when you add in shipping fees) and not wait for parts to be shipped. Mine has a "I will pick up" box that I check and when the parts arrive, they call me.

It's a win-win for me. I support my local dealer and my parts come sooner, Plus, I know I'm getting the correct part because I ordered it
 
Thanks guys... Found it! Cliff, that is an odd place for it since it doesn't TOUCH the air cleaner. In the fiche it is just floating out there all by itself. LOL... I will shop around for the best price and check the dealer by me too. I just went over there Saturday to grab a oil filter and went back and talked to the service guy about rebuilding my carbs. I did not like what he had to say! I told him I wanted them completely disassembled, cleaned, new o-rings, etc. etc... I didn't like his price or the fact that he said that they wouldn't need to be dialed back in because he was going to leave them all together so as not to change any of the adjustments. No thank you!
