    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.

    It's more the stairs and 180 degree turns half-way up that's the problem 🤣

    Hmmm... the 13L silver of the Katana is a pretty close match to the backsplash in our kitchen when we did it a few years ago, but I can't get the Kat upstairs or into the kitchen :LOL:

    I'm torn between Trevor and Carter... but I'm going to go with Trevor because I'd rather ride gravel than snow 😁

    Clutch Rod Removal on a 1980 GS450L

    Late to the party on this one... I don't recall the details as I haven't had to look at mine for a very long time, but the earlier 450s had a single pushrod meaning you had to pull the clutch if I recall correctly. The later models have a two piece pushrod, meaning you can pull the shorter side...

    1980 GS 450S

    Nice work! Before my Kat was done I was always playing with the big boys on Kats with my 450, and still now one of the other guys likes to have a ride on it every now and then and still comments how well it goes for a 450. They're such great bikes!

    I'm freshly back from three days of riding for our annual Katana State of Origin weekend, just under 1500kms all up. The weather was absolutely spot on, no rain in sight and bright clear blue skies all three days. If you want to see the route, here are the roads on Google Maps: Day one -...

    Page can not be found.... pretty regularly

    Do you want the red pill or the blue pill? I've honestly had no issues but I'm not sure if that's because of my timezone or region I'm in...

    Oh cool! I’m 600kms from home on the Katana ride as I type this! To stick with the Kats and a current one, how about hitting the hills? This was a place called Queen Mary Falls on our way down Friday. Beautiful scenery and fun riding.

    There's a dude called Panos Halandri (Greece I think?) who often has parts he lists in the "Suzuki Katana - Buy, Sell, Swap, Trade or Wanted" Facebook group who might be a good source. Oh, the hard to get bit is the 27mm spanner for the rear axle nut, so if you can get a kit with that in it...

    My first Suzuki Katana Australia State of Origin ride with my Kat in 2019. Getting the Qld gang together at the start to head south. I'll have a current one to share as we head out on Friday but will miss this round of the game!

    I guess it just shows our age when we look at 2000 or newer bikes and think they're still new :ROFLMAO:
