  • 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.

    82 gs650 gear shift teeth position

    Transmission work is challenging…..more so when you get someone else’s project. Here’s the shaft 650 layout…what parts have you been ordering and why?

    Maybe these pics will help How far apart did the PO get in his trans exploration?

    New Stutter at WOT

    I ve tested a bunch of these 4ohm (primary) ignition coils…secondary resistance wire to wire was about 12 kohms - plug caps removed. Suzuki stock plug caps fell within the 10kohm range each typically , while typical NGK were 5 kohm each. Try removing caps and snip off 1/4 inch from each plug...

    GS1100G 1984 wiring subharness in headlight bucket

    Have you seen the color electrical diagrams at Basscliff’s site? If PO torn off signals , expect more creativity! The diode is likely to serve the kickstand warning signal. As for connectors locations and styles maybe this diagram offers clues...

    New Stutter at WOT

    “My plug wires do have some cracks near the boots, but not from age. Because the PO routed them wrong they were really hard to get off for a while so they ended up developing some cracks near the boots“ Cracks in plug leads invite problems. You could try a silicone spray on damaged area and if...

    New Stutter at WOT

    Sounds like you got the fuel delivery system sorted out. Maybe the ignition coils and ignitor aren’t in sync at times due to those ignition wires . Simple to find a stock used replacement set and rule it out as the culprit The voltage meter wouldn’t show charging voltage spikes that could...

    1979 GS1000L missing rear airbox assembly

    You got a 3D printer….so get creative, cuz this is how you real world learn! Me, I’d probably go to junkyard and explore air filter boxes on compact cars.

    Carb Leaks (I’ve checked Everywhere!)

    Check your petcock again. Likely fuel is flowing down vacuum line to #2….actually it sounds like it’s being sucked down!

    Carb Leaks (I’ve checked Everywhere!)

    “tests fine on the bench but then pisses everywhere when on the bike.“ This doesn’t make sense. Are you sure your bench test is actually overfilling the bowls?

    Carb Leaks (I’ve checked Everywhere!)

    “I was very careful when inspecting these specific o-rings at the bottom of the seats. All other o-ring hardware seems fine. Just wants to keep spilling fuel out of the air intake hole on either #1 or #2 no matter what the heights are set at.“ Just get new needle seats with a new washers - this...

    GS500 Starter Motor into '82 GS450E?

    The gs650 shafties share the same starter motor as the 450…and probably the 300 too.

    Rotor replacement

    Rotor is unlikely to go bad…your 1982 bike came with a 18 pole stator matched to a rotor with 6 pairs of N/S magnets imbedded. Earlier Suzukis had 12 pole stators matched to rotor with 4 pairs of N/S magnets . Maybe someone swapped in 12 pole stator in your bike ….this would have reduced voltage...

    Hard to tell from your photo. Fuel line is middle of carb rack. There are two vent hoses. try this photo

    gs650e Stator + R/R issue

    ”Don't understand with my voltage drop when I connect the R/R to the battery.“ I’d suspect your used stator is no good….as its output goes up, it shorts out on itself , dropping the voltage . A stator can look good during the 80 volt phase to phase stuff but fail to deliver when loaded.due to...

    1981 GS650g carb problems

    This guy on eBay claims to have #1 carb body from gs650 https://ebay.us/m/MGhoYd best to assume the worst and fully/properly all the carbs….some folks can be creative
