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.

    [GS750T] - Pods? I give up; I need help with the airbox...

    Thanks for your opinion. Much appreciated. I heated them with the wife's hair dryer, and they became incredibly soft and pliable (for a while), long enough to get them out of the airbox. Now I just need to source suitable replacements... Cruzinimage.net has a lot of cool stuff. I found a...

    [GS750T] - Pods? I give up; I need help with the airbox...

    I feel like I've tried 'everything' to get pods to work on Suzy. From Zed's air correctors to needle heights to jetting and everything in between. I've been fighting with it for too long now, and it finally dawned on me to give up and install an OEM airbox and rear cleaner set. Long story...

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    Clients didn't show, so took the opportunity to go for a ride out on Suzy around the local hills... Such an incredible riding experience =)

    [1982 GS750T] - New Speedo Cable Needed...

    I ended up buying one of these from Wemoto here in the UK. I fitted it a few days ago... ...And it's still working just fine. And it cost less than £10 including postage. The staking tool was not fit for purpose, but I managed to rig something up LOL. Thanks again for the offer of help...

    [1982 GS750T] - New Speedo Cable Needed...

    Thanks, Syd. Contacted- no joy. Salty monk - Please see attached photograph. The distance from one socket to the next is 99cm or 39 inches. Apologies for the poor picture focus, but my camera phone is dying. If you're anywhere near the South West Coast during your visit... Pop round and I'll...

    [1982 GS750T] - New Speedo Cable Needed...

    Hey everyone, Long story short... ...My speedo cable has snapped and I need to get a new one. I live in the UK and usually get the spare parts for "Suzy" (my imported from the US 1982 Suzuki GS750T) from CMSNL in the Netherlands. The shipping costs suck, but the parts rock. However, they...

    1982 GS570T - 1/4 Throttle Onwards Flat Spot

    Exactly. I'm taking a break from Suzy for a little while (I've two other bikes) and then I'll see if a little bit more will get it completely as it should be. I guess I need to find out what happens if you 'de-shim' needles too much =)

    [1982 GS750T] Pilot Screw Adjustment and Vacuum Sync Confusion...

    That right there is genius. I WISH I'd thought of that before spending two days reducing the plastic washer down in 10% increments. Still, it has given me plenty of practice taking the fuel tank on and off =) Thanks Steve.

    1982 GS570T - 1/4 Throttle Onwards Flat Spot

    Now that's the question, isn't it? I bought it off a guy who was diagnosed with terminal cancer and who was busy trying to sell everything of any value before he died, so he could save his wife the hassle. He'd bought it as a project, and he'd only ever started it. Never ridden it. And he...

    1982 GS570T - 1/4 Throttle Onwards Flat Spot

    Up to quarter throttle, Suzy is an absolute dream to ride. But above that? Nightmare. Pretty much exactly on quarter (I’ve marked the throttle grip with tippex) she bogs. She doesn’t really lose power, she just kinda flattens out and makes a loud ‘BURRRR’ sound. If I keep turning the...

    [1982 GS750T] Pilot Screw Adjustment and Vacuum Sync Confusion...

    I'd hoped fitting air correctors at the 4 O'clock position would have solved this. I've taken 10 percent of the needle ring thickness off and will test again tomorrow.

    [1982 GS750T] Pilot Screw Adjustment and Vacuum Sync Confusion...

    Boo! From idle to 1/4 throttle, Suzy is a dream. She pulls like a train. Handles like a modern bike. No lurching, no struggling. Just effortless. A dream of a bike. But then, as I try to continue accelerating from 1/4 throttle onwards, she bogs, loses power, struggles. If I keep the...

    [1982 GS750T] Pilot Screw Adjustment and Vacuum Sync Confusion...

    Here’s my set-up. And here’s the process I followed. Set up petrol IV feed Block vacuum pipe. Start bike. Quickly adjust idle speed adjustment knob to compensate for bench sync. Wait until engine is warm enough to run without choke. Set highest RPM for air/fuel screws Sweet spot today =...

    [1982 GS750T] Pilot Screw Adjustment and Vacuum Sync Confusion...

    Thanks Nessim. Still trying to find a definitive answer to the question: Vacuum sync carbs THEN adjust air/fuel screws? Adjust air/fuel screws THEN Vacuum sync carbs? Or: Adjust air/fuel idle mix and vacuum sync carbs at the same time? i.e. Best idle on carb #3 Then Best idle on carb #2...

    [1982 GS750T] Pilot Screw Adjustment and Vacuum Sync Confusion...

    I think I might have answered my own question. ON page 45 of the Clymer Manual: The next section is carburetor balancing (synchronization) using a manometer. Because the cap covering the airscrew has been removed (for cleaning purposes), I'm going to follow the instructions as if I had pre...
