    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...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

    The views expressed in this forum are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of "The GSResources" or the editors.

    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.

Great source for flywheel pullers

**********EDIT********* Be sure to read following posts for more important info!

I need a flywheel puller for my '83 GS1100 and have been having some difficulty finding the right puller. There are two possible sizes for this bike as Suzuki changed the size in mid-production. There is a 35mm X 1.5 and a 30mm X 1.5. The size on my bike, 30mm, seems to be the harder size to find. I checked BikeBandit, Z1 Enterprises, Motion Pro, Parts-N More, and Parts Fish with not much luck. Either they did not have the correct size or the size wasn't listed. I did some Google searching and found this place: http://pitposse.stores.yahoo.net/index.html

They had an extensive selection of pullers with detailed descriptions. Their prices were as good or better as anywhere else I found as well. The puller I needed was $25.95 with $7.95 shipping and the puller is supposed to be in stock. I'll post more when I receive the puller.

Thanks,
Joe

Some further info: I had emailed a couple other places, including Motion Pro, regarding availability of the puller I need. I got a reply from Motion Pro saying they did not make the puller I need but to check with this place: http://www.dssalesusa.net/ as they specialize in pullers. I checked their website and the descriptions and part numbers look exactly like what I ordered from PitPosse. The nice thing is that they have a catalog with pics of all the pullers in PDF format that you can download and save for future reference.

Thanks,
Joe
 
Once again, I find myself humbly following in the footsteps of Master Joe... I was just looking for one of these myself!

You guys crack me up!

Now, Brian ... if you were REAL good you'd not only have a bike that required the exact same puller Joe ordered, but you'd wait for him to finish with it so that you could borrow it and split the cost!! Are you THAT good??#-o:lol:;-)
 
Alas, my GS850 requires a completely different puller. The grasshopper shall take a slightly different path than the Master.

Apparently, it's the same one used by a bunch of Honda dirt bikes -- basically, a big hardened bolt with a 14mmX1.5mm thread.

I ended up ordering it from repairmannuals.com last night because it was slightly cheaper than the others and they had it in stock. Repairmanuals.com, denniskirk.com, and pitposse.com all sell the same line of Stubblefield pullers, but repairmanuals.com lists stocking status, and the total with shipping was about two bucks less.

Dennis Kirk was the only one that listed the GS850 at all, and that listing was completely wrong. Good thing they provide detailed specs.
 
Update 3/3/07:

Got the puller Friday, looks nicely made. Definitely acceptable shipping time. I'm not going to pull the rotor until I get my starter clutch rebuild parts......

Thanks,
Joe
