    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

has anyone changed shims on a 79 gs850? is it hard? how long does it take? what tools are needed? thanks
 
I believe there is a website detailing this. Use the search function.
 
I think Basscliff documented it..... It's pretty simple. You need one special tool plus a metric feeler gauge set & some replacement shims if any of them need swapping out.

z1 enterprises can kit you out with all of it. You won't find any cheaper.

Mr. NelanCustoms,

Please visit my little BikeCliff website (link in my sig) to download a Suzuki Shop Manual and a valve adjustment pictorial guide. If you send Mr. Steve an email he will send you the latest version of his Excel spreadsheet to help you calculate, track, and document the shims you'll use and need. It's not hard. Just get all the parts and tools you need before you start. Let us know if you have questions.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
