    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.

    [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...

    Help! Stripped Mixture Screw Hole

    Carb 4 - And yes, as someone who currently seems to be collecting every split diaphragm on eBay, getting bike parts is a gamble. I don't have any spares. Half the fun/pain (?) of old motorcycles is finding replacement parts. Good luck.

    Help! Stripped Mixture Screw Hole

    As I learn how to get Suzy back on the road - I've made a few errors - I have also discovered that eBay and Facebook Marketplace are my friends (not to mention CMSNL). For example, there is a Mikuni BS32SS carb body for sale here. But keep in mind, searching on these platforms can require...

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

    Hi all, I've been busy confusing myself with information overload. And I'm hoping you can help me to find a clear path through it. I followed: John Bloemer's - Carburetor Clean & Repair Pictorial Ed Ness's - CV Carburetor Rebuild Tutorial Kudos and gratitude to you both. My carbs are now...

    1982-GS750T - Oh my Carbs!

    Katana1074 - Thanks for the diagram. Once I get the pilot jet and main jet parts, I'll put her back together and see about my 1/4 throttle onwards bog. If it's still not fixed, looks like I'll be getting into the wonderful world of carb needles =) Nessism - Thank you. I didn't know that. I...

    1982-GS750T - Oh my Carbs!

    Suzy has a flat spot. From idle to 1/4 throttle, she's a dream boat. But as soon as she hits 1/4 throttle, she bogs. If I keep twisting the throttle, she'll kinda get over it, but it ain't a pleasant experience. In the spirit of starting with the 'low-hanging fruit' and building up from...

    Confession Time - Rust...

    Some time ago, I stripped Suzy's (my 1982 GS750T) carbs down. They got cleaned, air correctors fitted, new o-rings, and Viton choke plunger seals - The Works. I even degreased and cleaned all the rust off every part (starter shaft, choke cable lever, choke cable plate etc.). What I've learned...

    Do you still own a GS?

    Still have Suzy, my 1982 GS750T and two other bikes. If I can ever fix her 'flatspot', she's gonna be a keeper. Superb ride, very enjoyable and always puts a smile on my face... ...As long as I don't try to go over 1/4 throttle....

    1982 Suzuki GS750T - Will it fit?

    Good spot. She starts easily, idles brilliantly but... ...Suzy's big problem is a 'flat spot' around quarter throttle. That's the issue I want to fix. But on the journey there, are a few lower hanging fruit things that need taking care of first. The new - to me - exhaust is a bit of a...

    1982 Suzuki GS750T - Will it fit?

    I currently have a Delkevic 4 into 1 exhaust on Suzy. Looks great. Sounds bloody awful. It's so embarrassingly loud. I saw a possible replacement on FB Marketplace and I 'think' it might fit my 1982 GS750T. But I'd appreciate your second opinion before purchasing. Here's the link: Suzuki...

    1982 GS750T: Warped Front Disc - Replacement Question...

    UGH! New development. Whilst waiting for advice from the wonderful chaps on this forum, I thought: "I know what, I'll fit Suzy's new OEM brake pads." Should have known. Take a look at the photo below: The pads I got are the genuine part number for a 1982 GS750T. But I couldn't get them...

    1982 GS750T: Warped Front Disc - Replacement Question...

    Help! The part I ordered from the breakers was guaranteed to fit the bike and not be warped. I went to swap it today for the original. Here's the picture... ...See if you can spot my problem? That's right. The one taken off the bike (top) is about 270mm in diameter. The replacement...

    1982 GS750T: Warped Front Disc - Replacement Question...

    You guys really are the greatest. Thank you. Plenty to work with here and you've helped me to move forwards. This is my current plan of attack: 1. I saw this at a breakers in the UK. I've contacted them to see if they can guarantee it isn't worn. At ?32+postage - It could be a bargain 2...

    1982 GS750T: Warped Front Disc - Replacement Question...

    Took Suzy for an MOT today (she's exempt, but I want to make sure she's safe after me wrenching on her for two years). She failed on two points: 1. Headlamp not working on dipped beam (I'll see if a new bulb fixes that). 2. Brake grabbing severely front. Fault two didn't come as a surprise...
