    rings and valve lapping, still low compression???

    I used a friends honing triple stone , I don't know the grit. I'll check with I'm. As far as valve adjustment I have adjusted the valves three different times. I have them opened to .004 on the intake and about .003 on the exhaust to let more air in and that is the present reading. Timing...

    rings and valve lapping, still low compression???

    HI AGAIN, I have an 82 GS850G. I had low compression in #3, 90 PSI, so I took cylinder head off and while I was at it I might as well do the rings. I bought Genuine Suzuki Parts standard rings. The cylinders were all within specs, maybe a thousands off. Rings measured inside cylinder and had...

    oversized rings?

    OK, Thanks. I never heard that term used before. I just referred to that as the cylinder head.

    oversized rings?

    I did a leak down test on my 82 GS850G. Number three cylinder didn't pass. Compression test wet indicated rings not so much valves. I'll lap them in anyway. I took the head and jugs off and am in the process of honing out the cylinders. I'm already past the limit for cylinder bore before...

    GS850G lower gasket between jug and crankcase

    I tried the Parmatex with no luck. Then I tried a carb and choke cleaner from Berrymman- B-12 Chemtool Professional. Itseems to work fairly well. Thanks for all your help....

    GS850G lower gasket between jug and crankcase

    Hi, I'm doing valves and rings on my 82 GS850g. I have the jugs off and there appears to be a gasket on the bottom portion of the jug. However this gasket is on so well I'm having an extremely difficult time removing it. Is this normal? I hope I haven't screwed up. Any help appreciated..

    82 GS850G camshafts

    My thought as well. This is my one and only bike. Taking care is good. I may look for a second set just to have spares. Thanks for your input!!

    82 GS850G camshafts

    I have an 82 GS850G. When I traded for it there were 23+K on the odometer. I now have 60K on the odometer and removed the camshafts to check the lobes for clearance. The lobes are just under specs. I don't ride hard or beat the bike. Is this considered normal wear or would that 23K be...

    Kick start

    Thanks to all, I think I'll just leave well enough alone. Sounds like too much work to be worth while, unless I find a 79.. Thanks again

    Kick start

    To all you restorers, is it possible to put a kick start on an 82 gs850g which is an electric start. If so, what and how would I do that. I know some bikes have both. Just don't know if Suzuki had it?????????

    Compression & leakdown test

    Compression stayed the same. It only increased after I put half an ounce of oil in the cylinders. Rings may be worn but as I said I haven't lost power and I'm not burning oil. I'll leave it alone. Thanks again...

    Suddenly dead ignition

    I have the same bike.. I also had the same problem. I had no spark to the plugs and I check , with a volt meter and had power right up to the coils. I had checked all my fuses ( four 10 amp and one 15 amp) and all looked (LOOKED) good. My book said to remove two fuses to check the ignition...

    Compression & leakdown test

    I have a 82 GS850G with 56k on it. During my general tune up and valve check I usually do a compression check. The compression was low 115-130 PSI (supposed to range between 128-171). I'm not burning any oil,(no smoke out the exhaust) and I haven't lost any power. I checked with a local bike...
