    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

I have an 81 GS650E im rebuilding and need some help doing it. I have missing parts on it and Im not sure what i need to get to get it started. This is my first goal. I bought a new battery, wire harness, ignition coils, and start switch for it. I have an air box but nothing else with it. Can anyone help me to understand where to get the parts i need? I already tried babbitonline for the air box assembly but there out of the parts i need.

Welcome to the forum.

Lots of useful links for you in my Signature. Go ahead and create your own signature to include, at least, your bike year and model. Go to Settings at the top right of any page, then follow the signature creation links in the left margin.

Start w/ the Top 10 list, linked in my signature.

Follow the Imgur link to learn one of the best way to post pictures on the forum. Because we LOVE pictures.

The link to BikeCliff's website in my signature will lead you to the factory service manual and wiring harness you NEED for this bike, as well as a multitude of DIY articles to help you with everything that's wrong with your bike.

To research past posts on this site to look for solutions for problems, you MUST use Advanced Search, type the keyword(s) for your search, and you MUST change the search criteria to search TITLES ONLY.

Some parts for your bike are not available NOS (new old stock) any longer from dealers and sites like Babbittsonline.com, partshark.com, and others, but many still are. And for those parts that are, OEM (original equipment manufacturer) is usually best quality, from your local dealer (some will actually work to get you the parts you need and appreciate your business) or one of the online sellers.

For parts not available new any longer, you will have to comb eBay or put up a request in the parts wanted forum on this site.
 
Thank you rich. Ill start by adding photos and keeping up on my progress along the way. Ill also check out those other websites you mentioned. Ill also check out the bikecliff?s website. Thanks again for your help.
 
Thanks Glen, I appreciate the help. I?ll definitely check it out.
 
Hey, so the I’m having a hard time finding the air box assymbly for my bike. I have found one full assymbly for a 550E ( https://www.ebay.com/itm/124710920967) but I’m not sure if it’ll fit a GS650E? Does anyone know if it will?

Just in case the link doesn’t work, its for a 1977 1978 1979[FONT=&quot] Suzuki GS550 GS550E air cleaner filter airbox intake ASSY.
