Greetings and Salutations!!

Hi Mr. kmac,

A lot depends on the initial condition and history of the bike. See the maintenance lists in your "mega-welcome". There usually are no shortcuts when maintaining a 25+ year old motorcycle. What information you can't find on my website, you can learn from the master wrenches here. They've taught me everything I know. Let's get to it.

I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.

If there's anything you'd like to know about the Suzuki GS model bikes, and most others actually, you've come to the right place. There's a lot of knowledge and experience here in the community. Come on in and let me say "HOoooowwwDY!"....

Here is your very own magical, mystical, mythical, mind-expanding "mega-welcome". Please take notice of the "Top 10 Common Issues", the Carb Rebuild Series, and the Stator Papers. Now let me roll out the welcome mat for you...

Please click here for your mega-welcome, chock full of tips, suggestions, links to vendors, and other information. Then feel free to visit my little BikeCliff website where I've been collecting the wisdom of this generous community. Don't forget, we like pictures! Not you, your bike!

Thanks for joining us. Keep us informed.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

No Bill. I just have a link to Brian's site... http://www.bwringer.com/gs

His sync guide is here... http://www.bwringer.com/gs/carbsync.html

I'll be putting together my own version of the sync procedure soon.

Thank you for your indulgence,
