    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.

GS550E valve question

Ok, so had some time to get back at the bike. I?ve decided it probably won?t be on the road this season if I can?t get it to run properly. So, completely cleaned carbs. Same problem, won?t start back up when up to temp. Could it be the Cdi? I put used coils on and tested ohms on them with the caps off and numbers fine. It starts up right away with choke on and once it warms up and stalls? no hope of starting back up. It will with starting fluid but that?s not good for the engine. Makes me think that I should just order new brand new aftermarket coils, they could go bad once warm? Or the cdi? Anyways, I?m scratching my head. Thx.

I can say "no way can/will it be your CDI".

I can say that with certainty because no Suzuki GS ever left the factory with CDI.

You might have "electronic ignition", but that is based on the year of the bike (which you have not stated). The "ignitor". which is an electronic igntion component, was introduced with the 1980 model year bikes. They have been known to have problems, but not so much temperature related. Coils do have temperature-related problems, but they usually have to be pretty hot.
