    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.

broken muffler / exhaust clamp

Pretty basic question here. New to me gs650gl has a broken exhaust clamp that was rusted through. Part number 6/7 in the fiche linked below

http://cdn1.bikebandit-images.com/schematics/schematics/suzuki/suz008/su0098_016.gif

I see that the clamp has some teeth on it. Is it possible to replace this clamp with a universal one, such as any of the ones here: http://siriusconinc.com/search_result.php?search=search&make=&model=clamp&part=17&partno=&x=0&y=0 or is it necessary to replace with the OEM clamp, do those teeth looking parts lock something in? I only ask because shipping such a small part to Canada is such a ridiculous cost, otherwise i'd go OEM all the way.

If i can go with some universal / cheaper connection, anything else i require?

there aren't teeth. They are stops that seat against the mufflers. and yes a universal that doesn't have the stops will work fine. All you need is to squeeze it down.

Well I take that back and amend my statement...they DO act as teeth to grip the pipe as well to some degree.
