    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...

Hello every one I am very new at all of this and riding.
I just got a 1983 Suzuki GS 750E the person who sold it to me said that the fuel cock leaks, Itook it apart I noticed he had used some kind of clear apoxy type glue over the oval O ring, I cleaned and put it back together, it is leaking very bad. Can this be fixed ? or should I buy a new fuel cock ?. The suzuki dealer told me I have to buy the whole assy. any suggetions will be appreciated. Thank you :P

ps. If am doing anythink wrong in the way i am submiting this post please someone correct me

I just ordered a Pingle 6211AH and adapter plate yesterday for a 1978 GS 1000 N. the Pingle valve was $64.60 and the adapter plate A1702c cost $11.35. I buy them from STREETFIGHTERS at
http://www.streetfighters-usa.com/pingel_power_flo.htm

I think the Pingel is ten times better than the stock petcock. However, it is a mechanical on/off petcock. This means that you MUST turn off the fuel before turning off the ignition and you cannot forget even once to turn it off. If you forget, you MUST change the oil before starting the engine.

I buy chains and sprockets from Dennis Kirk. Their page is

I'm using RK chains and very pleased with them.
Yes, if the "O" rings on the chain are broken, it is time for a new chain. You should also check your sprocket teeth for wear. The teeth should be square edged and have no signs of beveling on the edges.
