    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.

Where can I get a new exhaust for cheap?

I'm looking for a new exhaust system for my '82 GS850G. The one that is on it, I have no idea what it is. The bike is running for crap, and since I don't know what it is, I don't know where to start. It is pretty rusty in places, so I figure the best place to start is with new exhaust and specs from the maker.

I'm looking to do this as cheaply as possible while still staying with something new. I think it might be hard to find a good used exhaust around me. (northern IL)

Thanks.
 
Some great Suzi mechanics here. Tell us your symptoms, and we can walk you through a proper diagnosis, rather than the shotgun approach or replacing things until it works.

First thing, read your plugs. Pull your spark plugs, paying attention to which cylindar they came from. It don't matter where they go back, but diagnosing a plug is linked to the cylindar they came from.

White/pitted = too lean.
tan/light brown = just right
black/powdery = rich
black/wet = way rich
black/oily = probably bad rings

Someone will post a link to a great site for the beginner at reading plugs soon.. they always do. :D
 
I bought a new Vance and Hines for about $250, shipped.

It's a 4>1, no jetting was needed, the bike was jetted already.
They do reccomend jetting, so that adds $$$.
But it is new and shiny :D

Just a thought......
