    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.

Hey guys! I?m an old poster that had to make a new account because I hadn?t logged on for a long time. So - good to see you again! =)
To the point:

English is not my native language. I would really like to be able to study some terminology in motorbike mechanics. I was thinking of images of all of the parts in the:
motor/starter/bike in general with all the things we talk about here on this forum is marked out. Something similar to page 3 of the VM carb rebuild is what Im looking for. If you could help me find something like this for more parts on the bike, I would really apreciate it!

Cheers!
 
Hi PoPr. I am not sure what it is you are looking for but if you are looking for parts names, try www.alphasports.com
Go to the "parts diagrams" of the Motorcycle section and they have blow-up pics with names and parts numbers for all Suzuki bikes.

They also use Suzuki part numbers which makes it very handy when you need one.:)

For not being your native language, you have a remarkable command of it. :clap:
Better, I'm afraid, than many others on the board that have probably never left their home state. :oops:

Depending on where you are on this little blue marble, things might be called a bit differently, too.
Give us a hint where you are and we can help you with some of the different terminology.

Thanks, you are to kind. :D
I live in Sweden, but I?ve lived in Seattle for three years or so... But I never spoke mechanic-lingo back then :)
 
Suzuki Parts Listings

Suzuki Parts Listings

As a recent convert from Honda and BMW with the purchase of a 1977 GS750B, I would comment that Suzuki parts manuals are not as useful as Honda's as their parts descriptions are too brief, particularly with fasteners. A Honda parts manual would list something like "Bolt, hex, 8x35" while Suzuki simply says "Bolt". So if you are like me and have lots of spare nuts, bolts, washers, etc picked up cheap in bulk, it is hard to determine if they will be useful on a Suzuki unless you have an old one to compare with. In my usual anal fashion, I am entering the whole GS750 parts list into Excel to be able to sort and identify common parts, and will update parts descriptions as I more accurately identify the various bits. I will naturally make this available to anyone on this list who may find it useful, but I am probably 2 years away from completing that. In the meantime, if you need a complete listing, with separate lists by assembly, of a Honda CB400F 1975-77 just let me know
