    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...

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.

Fuel / Vacuum Hose Diameters on '79 550 , quick disconnect worth it?

Have to replace the those soon, and about to order, but am currently not near my bike. Does any one know from the top of their head what the inner diameters are?

Also, I'm doing more and more various smaller tasks on the running bike which entails taking off the tank. Pulling and pushing the hoses on the petcock is a bit of a hassle, and since I'm still discovering stuff required to be done and stuff to order, I have to do this multiple times. So I'm considering getting a quick disconnect plug/valve for the fuel line.

Your thoughts?
 
Use the correct Suzuki parts, the hoses slip on and off easily but they won't fall off. No clamps or other such idiocy required. Nothing is a quicker disconnect than that.
