    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.

Hi guys I'm fitting an engine to my 850 GS and when trying to attach the driveshaft to the back og the engine the flange does not marry up to the one at the back of the gearbox. It seems to be about 1mm out. Did Suzuki chane the fittings on the later engines? Cheers

Hi,

Yes, things were changed slightly between earlier and later model years. (I think '82-'83 are different from the '79-'81.) You'll need the drive line that matches the engine you're installing. I can't go into more detail because I have no direct experience. But someone should be along shortly.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
Yes the bolt pattern changed 81? So any of the later 850 or any 1000/1100 should fit. I have an extra somewhere if you can't find one
 
Agreed with all the above.

Can you tell us what year GS850 you're working on and what year the donor engine is from, or is that classified information? :D
 
Hi Guys the bike is a 79 model however I've put a different engine in it not sure what year but obviously post 81 due to different bolt pattern on driveshaft. I've taken the connection of the back of 79 engine and put it on the later one so my drive shaft will now fit. Just another example of one step forward and one step back when building this bike. Thanks again for your advice guys. :)
