    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.

Guys, i just started awaking my gs1000S after long sleep of 16 years. I want to clean up the carbs but so far i did not achieve to remove the carbs as the airbox rubbers are so hard!! Any good idea that could save time, my patience and the rest of my finger skin??[-o<
 
Get an assitant to pull backwards on the carb rack and remove the boots from between the carbs and the head, probably also a really good idea to fit a new set of boots, if they are that stiff, removing and replacing them will cause them to crack/split leading to intake leaks and associated running problemms.

Ok thanks ,i will try, when you say changing the boots you think both before and after the carbs or just the ones between the airfilter box and the carbs?
 
Both is preferable, but the ones between the carbs and the head definitely.

Where would one get carb boots? I've been debating doing this on my bike, and no idea where I would even start looking (locally) for a set.
 
I found that my local Suzi shop could get the intake boots and the o-rings. But if your local shop can't (or is unwilling), then www.bikebandit.com is a good source.

Also, you are going to have a knuckle busting hard time getting the rusty phillips head screws off. I used an impact driver for several of mine. After you get 'em all off...throw 'em away. Replace 'em with SS allen head bolts.

Got any pics of that "S"?
 
Finally i've got in touch with an previous Suz dealer last WE at the vintage bikes fair in Paris. He will send me evrything. \\:D/
To celebrate this, i finally found the way to take out the carb set by sliding the carb on the right side of the bike. Late tonight, they will take a good "gazoline shower" and will get dismantled .....To be continued:-D
