    I was "that guy" again today.........

    I have tubeless on my 83' GS750ES,which I like best. I have tube-type on the factory aluminum wheels on my 81' GS450EX,and carrying a spare 18" tube & a pr. of small Motion Pro tire levers is a good idea(the same 18" tube will work on front or rear),even though I haven't had a tube go bad on me...

    A possibly perforated pretcock

    Hi jharvey, you may have a very low voltage in your battery which will cause the ignition to cut-out;when you install the new battery next season,test the charging rate and check to see if the regulator/rectifier is not Over-charging. I have a similar problem finding the OEM Suzuki 'fuel cock'...

    Modification for Taller Ride Height?

    I installed a set of Race-Tech straight-rate front fork springs of .85KG and they keep the stock front forks topped-up on my GS,which raises the ride height quite nicely. I'm only 6'1" and 225lbs. and depending on your weight,you might decide on Race-Tech 1KG front springs. The next thing I want...

    81 gs1100E horn replacement?

    I 'shocked' my stock Suzuki(under the front of the tank)OEM horn by removing & hitting the side of it against a 2x4" a few times;I didn't even need to adjust the small screw. The horn has an electro-magnet 'diaphragm' inside it and sometimes they(rust)stick:good and loud now. Don,you said you...
