    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.

I thought this looked familiar.

Was going though Used Victoria and spotted this ad http://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/1986-Suzuki-GS400-SG_25836748 then looked again just now,it's in twice.The other ad http://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/1986-Suzuki-GS400SG_25836817 .Well that's the bike that was supposed to be my wife's learner bike before we found out it would jeopardize her disability pension if she rode.Didn't even take new pics as those are mine:-s Here's the texts and pics from the ads:

Project bike: needs carbs done, front brake bled and clutch service, seat re-covered. Engine rebuilt last winter, assembled with assembly grease. New oil filter, brand new battery, new brakes pads and shoes, BRAND NEW TIRES (never ridden on), frame restored, wheels restored. Spare set of carbs and a spare engine. All parts present and accounted for, plus Clymer manual. The bike is registered in BC with clear title. Complete this project and it could be eligible for collectors plates.

To funny seeing this bike again!Contemplated keeping it but my 750EF is a better fit.
 
So, did you sell it for $500 and now the current owner is trying to make 20% on the sale?

Current owner did enough to get more money than he bought it for,I didn't have the title for a start.If we wanted it back I'd give him the $600.I really like 400's but look just a bit out of place on one.Still wish I was doing it for Kelly:(
 
For crimmy sake

All parts present and accounted for, plus Clymer manual. The bike is registered in BC with clear title. Complete this project and it could be eligible for collectors plates. Selling because I don't have the time or money to fix it up.
And it's gone up $200.Makes me wish we could buy it back before some hack "artist" messes it up bad
:upset:
Can't anybody take they're own pics?

I belive the PO of this guy had the fairing when he sold it.Some thing are wrong in the ad to.The shock is a ZX10 not a 9 and the Ricor simulators are in the forks along with Sonic springs.The 'Busa shiftier is an aftermarket folder I put on to.

I wish that they sold that small GS in the USA. I want to get my GF a small friendly, and highway capable motorcycle. Virtually all of the small GS I've found are thrashed. I like them all, from the first 400s to the 450S, but the 8 valve with that body style is the coolest in my opinion. Sadly, it is well on its way to death by neglect.
