GS650 fork question

[lrburke]

Hey there, does anyone know how to get the top fork caps out of 1982 GS650 GLZ? They are unlike any I have seen!! They are like recessed down in the fork tube with an air valve on them. They dont even look like they screw out!! I am stumped on this one. Thanks

Go here (or any of the various on-line seller of original Suzuki parts) and look up your bike, and then the front forks... http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm You will see that there is a spring wire clip on top of the forks that hold in the fork caps. You need to press down on the cap slightly and then dig out the clip in order to remove the cap.

Good luck

I'm just guessing, but on some bikes (Ninja 250s and 500s for example) you push down on the cap, which revels a lockwire that you pop out with a small screwdriver. Put the bike on the centerstand and give that a try.

Hey Thanks, I was wondering if I had to somehow push down on that goofy thing to get to that clip. Suzuki calls it a ring stopper! I will give it a try! Thanks a lot
