    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.

Airbox drain ?

My machine is a 1981 GS 750E. The airbox drain-tube is missing. The bike runs good enough to jump the grand canyon. What I was wondering, though,was... is the drain-tube something more than just a tube? Does it have something like a ball-check, to prevent the engine from drawing free air, by-passing the airfilter? Does anybody have the scoop on this? Thanks, ... Skyhawk.
 
OK, it's a drain, but does it have a liitle plastic ball inside it( like shop vac airflow cutoff) to stop upflow of air? Maybe I'll take mine off-next winter!
 
The new part number on the drain tube now has a plug on the end of it and a mild spring clamp. So at anytime you want to see if it drains anything, just pop the plug. Guess Suzuki finally figure out the foam stopper wasn't the right thing to have in there. And no there isn't a check ball in them, never have.
