    GS850GL plea for help - bike won't pull past 5000 rpm

    Yes, all the 82’s had ignitors, but earlier models had separate mechanical advancers. Later versions had the advance curve built into ignitor itself. In any event, advance would be complete by 4K for both types. When you’re going down this hill lightly loaded, what happens at 5k …..any sense of...

    GS850GL plea for help - bike won't pull past 5000 rpm

    I don’t like the consistency of not pulling past 5k…..can you find a safe long downhill and see what happens when it’s lightly loaded under full throttle? in my opinion, the main jet is doing most of the mixture delivery by 5k…..I’m assuming you got the rubber plugs over the pilot circuit. I...

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

    I hope this is just a loose wire…..grounding out at times my oil light goes out during cranking normally. No issues during turning ,braking, etc after a run, with bike on center stand, it takes a about ten minutes for 15-40 oil to reappear in sight glass …I keep it to full mark. there is an oil...

    Bike stalls after 5 minutes

    ”Ok so I started the bike again today and here is the sequence of events-“ The sequence is odd. Being able to turn off choke after ten seconds and hold idle is odd for a cold motor . To me this suggests that engine is getting a extra fuel dose from somewhere ….but this eventually dwindles and...

    Yes, just get a new petcock and rule it out as a problem…. https://www.ebay.com/itm/201646389696?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=AH0MSk6DRbK&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=ARSR0K5ISZu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    Turn signal switch rebuild help

    No fun repairing…..I’d probably resign myself to getting a somewhat similar switch off another Suzuki and rework connections to suit. The wiring diagram will tell you what does what…..Suzuki plug in connectors vary

    1981 Suzuki GS650G - dies under load when throttled past ~1/3

    Sorry, wrong 650 guy! In the carb forum, there was guy looking for air filter element cage who mentioned using 115 mains. I merged you two together to save brain space

    1979 Suzuki GS850- Valve cover reinstall.

    So are you anticipating removing it ,or is it already off? valve clearances check? get a genuine Suzuki gasket….knockoffs can be iffy. you’ll spend more time carefully removing old stuck on gasket then installing new one. Goop not needed on cover gasket, just light spray . Maybe some goop on...

    1981 Suzuki GS650G - dies under load when throttled past ~1/3

    Ok, you got fuel in bowls, spark at plugs. Activate “choke” ….make sure plungers fully extend. Use no throttle and crank….any life yet? No ? Then remove air filter element, place hand over opening to airbox to block…crank again..still nothing? remove a couple of spark plugs and look for fuel...

    Ignition Coils

    With plug caps removed, over the secondary will yield about 13kohm….plug wire to plug wire. With installed caps of 10kohm each, cap to cap will yield cap to cap 33kohm. If you use the more common 5kohm plug cap, you’ll get about 23kohm cap to cap.
