    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.

Click to expand...

Welcome to the world of frustration with Suzuki for the complete POS 50mm fuel tap. All the red Ss came with it. No reserve and the most ridiculous prime setting that doesn't do what it says on the tin. Only put one on if you want original and don't mind the bike not starting if you leave it parked for more than a day. Otherwise use a Pingel or other type of manual tap (using the Pingel base plate or a copy). Best thing I ever did.
 
Had it running but clutch rattling at tick over stripped it down hoping to find loose springs, but basket has had the the springs spaced out so no movement? rebuilt it but noise still there pull clutch in and it goes away,I have another basket I might put a set of APE duty springs in and see if that helps.also the starter was making odd noise every so often but the starter clutch seem's fine other than that it runs sweet.
 
For some reason the chain drive 1000 clutch hubs almost always rattle. Even on the one where I shimmed the springs it still makes some noise. I recommend one of those heavy duty back plate and spring kits. Starter noise could be starter clutch related. Did you change out the rollers and springs? Might be worth a look.
