    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.

  • 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.

    Front brake pad replacements

    You can upgrade to the twinpots on that bike. That would be my next move if you think the pistons are shot. :cool:

    Can’t you remove a plug and use a mirror or an endoscope to see what’s going on? Maybe the valve is already bent. … good luck

    Tyre Valve

    I believe the fronts only became tubeless in 82. Some people convert (although you still don’t have a tyre retaining bump but it seems to work if you use the right stepped cutter to flatten the area around the hole).

    Help Me Identify My Calipers and Pads?

    I think those forks are the 82 or 83 GL model. I think there’s rebound adjustment on the bottom of the fork legs. that would make sense as those brakes match… :)

    I think I had to buy two sets to do that….

    Watch out for lithium batteries!

    A lot of the cheaper stuff out there doesn’t have good BMS. Done to save costs….. :rolleyes: in general it’s not good to leave any of them them plugged in though.

    First Bike - GS650G - Rusty Crusty

    They definitely do out of state and can do the VIN etc checks for that. it was a long time ago when I did an out of system bike, I don’t think I had AAA back then so never tried. There are also a few title services around that can help but you shouldn’t need them, in theory yours should be...

    First Bike - GS650G - Rusty Crusty

    I wouldn’t leave it to chance if I was you… I try to use AAA for as much of the process as I can. Usually quicker and have allowed me to sort stuff and come back without making a fuss. DMV you never know who you’re going to get. You’ll have to take it to CHP probably for a check as well as it’s...

    Carb Piece Question

    Listen to Nessism... you'll chase problems for ages if you don't do it right the first time. Probably means they had a non vacuum petcock fitted & that was the way they sealed it up.... :)

    I'd rather have a Uni pod than a cheap Chinesium one... Do they do one with the right throat size?

    First Bike - GS650G - Rusty Crusty

    Make sure there is a sticker showing the VIN somewhere else as well when you take it. If it's hard to read people have been known to print a second sticker out themselves and apply them under the seat on the frame somewhere.... It's just a Suzuki logo & a Vin number. (In theory a Suzuki dealer...

    GS aftermarket parts that actually worked post here

    For pods for Mikuni’s the best aftermarket option is Ape. I wouldn’t want those ones from Amazon… I suspect they won’t last long. Ape is about as good as K&N.

    Help Me Identify My Calipers and Pads?

    Also to note are the ones you’ve got fitted I think require the matching older rotors (no slots) to work from memory so take a good look at it if you have slotted rotors… maybe it’s only the other way they don’t work. All of the later calipers are superior to those round pad ones. perhaps a...

    Yeah, Uni filter or if it’s the wrap around type that has a cap you can buy the Uni filter foam and cut your own strip to the right size. :)
