    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.

the starter clutch went out
cant find a puller
stator is burnt
r/r is probly shot
when the starter clutch went out it had quit on me and had to push it uphill toget home
has carb problem or cdi
only wants to run on one cyclinder
but i cant work on it because i cant get the mag off to changes the
starter clutch
i was told what puller i needed to pull the mag
guess what dident work
what parts i needed to work on my carbs i was told to get
guess what they was wrong too
(this is my frist suzuki )
when i was younger i rode yamaha xs 650 for years
but its been 20yrs since i rode one at all
thought i got this bike at a good price
500 as was it did run but i thought the carbs needed cleaning
it ran ok i rode it one time and it quit
sorry all blowing off steam

I think the physical size is going to be the limiting factor. A motor from a modern GS500 twin would be much easier IMO.
