    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 went to the site to check this out but i was confused at to what size and what adapter to buy for a 80 GS850GL. Could someone lead the way? please??

first step is to measure the distance from the mpunting screws((center to center. after that you choose the type of valve that you want to screw into the mounting bracket. Ask more questions because on some bikes the hieght of the fuel filter screen must be modified. usually you will also have to file the opening in the tank so the valve will clear.

I'm about 97.4% certain that you have the same requirement that I did since most of the petcocks are the same on the 1980 models. If so, you've got a 50MM spread. I used Pingel petcock 6211-CR (although you've got several choices). The 50MM adapter I used is A1902C. 8)
 
Go to http://www.schnitzracing.com/
Order a;
1902C Adapter, Petcock, 1.968" Center To Center (50MM) - Suzuki $8.95
And a;
6211 Petcock, Single w/Reserve $52.95

You will need to cut an inch off of the Petcock. Several people have left detail directions on this site for you to do this. Basically carefully rip off the screen, cut an inch off of the crome pipe, and snip an inch off of the screen and reassemble. Follow Pingles directions for the gooey gasket and enjoy.
