    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.

Handle Grips

Dumb question, but i'm going to ask anyways.
I recently replaced my handle bars and bought some universal grips. Well, the throttle on my bike has this plastice piece that the grip does not cover like the original. I don't know a lot about bikes, so i don't know if all bikes are like this, or just the older ones like mine. I've got a 79 GS425L
Can i cut off this piece of plastic, or are there grips out there that will cover it. The way it is, it doesn't fit right.

I hope this make some sense. If not, let me know and i'll take a picture of the throttle and show you what i'm talking about.

Thanks
 
so you cut the plastic lip thing off that's right beside the start button module?
 
That plastic lip was originally covered by the suzuki rubber grip and it's there to stop the rubber moving in towards the switch gear and jamming. You can remove it but make sure that your grip won't slide to the left and jam your throttle open.
