    petcock with prime position

    Ok , so when I had it running with the auxiliary tank it had a major vacuum leak? Ran pretty good considering.. Did the 1000 come with hoses attached to the overflow ports on the bottom of float bowls ? Had to pull the carbs again due to a small leak on one of the float bowls. Ordered one size...

    petcock with prime position

    I haven't dealt with a Suzuki petcock with the prime position before. Where does the vacuum line from the petcock hook up to. Some research says it hooks up to the #2 carb. I thought that fitting is just for vent hoses and doesn't pull a vacuum. Where is the proper location to tap into a vacuum...

    Where do you guys buy Mikuni VM 26 jets from

    I used to buy genuine Mikuni jets from Sudco but I guess they are out of business. Anyone have suggestions on where to shop. I need individual jets not packs of 10. Tried Z1 Ent. but they didn't have them.

    Dented 1000s tank restore

    Is there a difference between the S tank and the other models other than the emblems vs paint. I have an S tank that looks much like what you started with. It was about 1/3rd full of gas that had been sitting in it since 1982 , last time the bike was registered. When I opened it up you could...

    Carb vent tube routing 1979 GS1000 S

    Can some of the experts tell me how the carb vent houses are routed on the S. Stock VM carbs and air box. Shop manual doesn't show much and it's been a couple years since I tore it apart. How long are they and do they go back past the airbox or just up under the tank. Trying to keep it as...

    1979 GS1000 S choke cable

    Thanks Nessism. That is exactly the cable I'm looking for. Not sure why I was never able to get that one to come up the 6 or 7 different times I was searching. I just contributed again to help support this site. I don't post a lot on here but I do use the site a lot. Hope to submit this one for...

    1979 GS1000 S choke cable

    Yeah I did some more research. E-Bay said it is a guaranteed fit :) Motion Pro said it doesn't fit. I need a cable with a nipple not a barrel. Motion Pro no longer makes one off cables , minimum 20 for a production run. Anyone know of a business that can cut the barrel off this cable and put a...

    1979 GS1000 S choke cable

    So close to getting the 1000 S running after restoration and looking for experts on the S. Hooking a new Motion Pro 04-0113 choke cable up. Everything on the steering stem fit perfect. When I go to attach the end that goes on the carb it seems the barrel on the end of the cable is too large...

    1979 GS1000 S lock switch ?

    I'm restoring a 79 1000 S and about to get into the instrument cluster. It has a toggle switch I've never seen before , looks factory as it mounts on fairing bracket. I think wiring diagram calls it a lock switch. It's #38 on a parts fiche but descriptions only go to 31. Is this some kind of...

    Brake Rubber Blues

    I was looking for the same thing a while back and ran into a dead end. Found some on another set of used calipers slightly less horrible than the ones I was working with. Good luck

    1979 GS1000 S engine case emblems

    I am looking to replace the engine case emblems on my 1000 project. The left side alternator cover emblem is pretty easy to find and I have a couple different versions of that one. I haven't had any luck finding the points cover right side. I even bought a couple of decals to replace them but...
