    Fuse block tutorial?

    Fuse block Fuse block I just did the fuse block changeover and the main difference in my system is that I used a relay to provide power to the fuses. Doing that allows the fuses to be off until the ignition is turned on. Got more volts coming out of the fuse box too.

    Ignitor

    Sometime there was talk of someone out there that could repair the ignitor ( ex # 32900-45110 ) that fits many Suzuki's. If so I've got a couple to fix now, One just quit on me during the last ride. I have a spare though so the riding continues. Thanks for any help.

    No oil pressure after overhaul

    I'm with Suzuki Don, the oil filter is a good place to start. The system does go from the sump via the pump to the filter and then up to the pressure sending unit from there to the engine. Remove the cam cover and oil the cams also pull the plug and put a little oil in the cylinders. No kick...

    No oil pressure after overhaul

    nope, you've got to split the cases which means the engine comes out, remember to logically diagnose the problem start with the simple and cheap.

    No oil pressure after overhaul

    Did you check if the little o-ring that fits between the crankcase halves is there? If the PO left it out guess what, the service manuals makes a special point relating to installing it.

    Changing your spark plugs easily.

    Changing Plugs Changing Plugs Don't forget the old trick of using rubber fuel hose to remove and install the plugs. Added benefit is that you won't cross thread them.

    Longevity Longevity Well I have an 80's vintage large GS (1000) one owner and still maintained fairly well and it is closing in on 110K miles. The head's never been removed, original paint, seat, mufflers, etc. It runs like new. I think it's hard to beat a Suzuki GS
