    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.

    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

    GS850 Wiring

    Here’s the layout…..the tank sending unit has variable resistance …sending its output to the fuel gauge

    Unknown short, no power anywhere

    This is the 1982 650e. ? Did you get the colored wiring diagram? pull the ignition fuse and see if other stuff behaves normally…key “on”

    Charging issues help and troubleshoiting

    That stator is BBQ’ed…..might produce, but will fail completely. here’s one of my stators from 2012 on its way out, struggled to produce 13 volts down a steep hill

    Bike randomly died while riding.

    Yes, charge battery and start bike to determine if it’s actually charging. …your shunt r/r might have fried the stator. The electronic ignition is sensitive to voltage drop off without much warning

    '83 1100E very hard starting, starter motor switching directions

    I’d suspect the starter motor itself is wounded, causing coil voltage to drop during cranking. Jumping from running vehicle lessens this voltage drop. Inspect starter clutch drive. Consider getting a replacement starter motor…good to have a spare!

    Sparks, Zats, Ignition Coils, and Gas Mileage

    The stock tan coils have primary resistance of about 4.2 ohms..their secondary resistance plug wire to plug wire (no boots) measures about 12000 ohms….add on a pair of 5k ohm boots , you get an overall resistance in 22k ohms. Stock plug boots were/ seemed higher at 10k ohms each on all the old...

    81 Suzuki GS650G - oil pressure light flickering on hard stop - marginal pressure?

    Finally, I can stop worrying! Best to avoid oil regulator testing unless you’re overly ambitious.

    1980 GS550E igniter location.

    Strange…remove the round cover over the signal generator setup ….maybe some PO opted for dyna setup, which eliminates the factory ignitor

    Study and see what you’re missing. Hope you have warm basement or garage!

    High idle in first gear? Gs450L

    You disturbed the old tired o-rings under the boots….get some new ones

    1980 GS850G trans or shaft hum

    This gear assembly is precision finished ground as a set to ensure same grinding wheel profile on both gears. Then some lucky guy gets to pick shims and choose which way to orient output housing to achieve quiet/smooth fit up. I’d try to get another set and aim for a little slop at fit-up…it...

    Clutch

    You might have to adjust position of clutch lever arm on its pivot before fiddling with cable adjustments . I use the heel of my hand to push on the lever arm till I feel contact with clutch…this is a good starting spot to then use cable adjustments to get the proper “ throw” at handle.
