    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.

Purchased a GS550 M (yes an M) from a work mate of my wife. cost $600 (australian) and was fully rideable with the occasionally carby problem. Got the S**Ts with the carbs and decided to pull the whole bike down New caskets seals rings you name it I was going to do it. ( got a price for pistons etc before I started so I knew what it was going to cost) Imagine my surprise when I discovered everything was still within the service limit. No machining required just fresh seals and gaskets allround. The local mechaninc was that impressed he took photos.
I have never seen a 20 year old engine in such good condition. Looks like they guy I got it from just treated the bike like rubbish and used anything to keeep it going. The previous owner obviously looked after it. Thumbs up to suzuki for making excellent motors. (theres is 78,000 on the clock) Just waiting for parts now and I'll be a happy camper.
 
A friend of mine who runs a salvage shop says those motors are solid as a rock and will run forever. 8)
