    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

hey guys. first time poster here, new gs'er from oakland. so i've been working on a 78 gs1000e & this forum has been really helpful so far. i'm only leaking oil now from the "D" or "half moon" rubber pieces it seems at the valve cover. But its a lot of oil and seems to come from each one. I have no gasket on at the moment but sealed it with the black gunk stuff (cant remember brand). anything i can do short of ordering a new gasket and new rubber things?
 
buy a new gasket or make one yourself from a roll readily available at parts stores. If half moons are rock solid replace them they only a couple of bucks.
Others will chime in why its not a good idea to use liquid gaskets
 
My God man.....do it right or leave the damn bike alone....Get a proper Suzuki gasket and half moons and repair it correctly, it doesn't cost that much. :)
 
haha.thanks guys. i figured just replace and do it right but thought id check. just itching to ride so bad!
