    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...

    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.

Hi, i was wondering if anyone had the following information on a Gs450 1975-1979 Model:


Ignition Point Gap,
Ignition Advance,
Valve Clearance,
And the compression figures.

Cheers,


-Jake
 
1980 to 1983 GS450

Ignition Point Gap - ELECTRONIC IGNITION - NO POINTS
Ignition Advance - 10 deg BTDC @1650 RPM, 40 deg BTDC @ 3500 RPM
Valve Clearance - 0.03-0.08mm (0.0012-0.0031 in)
And the compression figures - 130 - 170 psi standard; 100 psi = service limit
Max difference between cylinders = 28 psi

hi, thanks for your information and time, but unfortunatly i already have that information and thats how i came to the conclusion that it is a pre- 1980 model (becasue of ignintion point gaps etc)

if anyone could help on a pre 1980 model Gs450 i would greatly apreciate it,

Cheers,

Jake,

What Brent and I are saying is we think there are no pre 1980 GS450s. You should try to identify what bike you have and then maybe we can help.

Go to this web site and see if you can find a picture of it - http://www.suzukicycles.org/All-Suzuki/all_suzuki_models.html .

What is the vin number? I think that before 1980 they had vin numbers that started with the engine size. Example - my 1977 GS750 has a vin number like this - GS750 XXXXX. This could help you. Also, look closely on the steering stem to see if you can find the identification information. It should be on the front of the steering stem, behind the headlight.

The more information you can give us, the more we can help.

Hi,
unfortunatly i cant get information like that anymore because my pop is doing it up (and he lives around 3 hours away) by the looks of the photos its a 79 model :S but he'll probably end up getting a workshop manual for it.

Thanks for your time,

-Jake
