    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.

GS450ga Suzukimatic carb question

Hey everyone,

I don't own a gs bike myself (i'm a honda guy) but i'm about to help a friend through a carb rebuild for a 1983 gs450ga which is running poorly. I've searched around this site a fair amount but haven't been able to answer this for myself yet -- do the suzukimatics have the same 34 mm mikunis (BS34ss ?) that the rest of the twins do, and are the service manuals/rebuild kits compatible?

Hoping some 'zukimatic enthusiast can help clear this up,
Thanks!

They are MOSTLY the same. The one I worked on also had an accelerator pump, I don't think the other twins have that.

Don't waste your money with "rebuild kits". Get the o-ring kit from cycleorings.com. If you need a diaphragm for the pump, it is part number 13491-44500, and is apparently still available for about $28.
