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...

On my 80 gs1100 that I'm currently working on the crank case cover on the left side is spewing oil. I can't seem to find a gasket anywhere. Am I stuck with making one or is there somewhere to buy it that I haven't looked. I had one purchased on ebay but the guy was out of them and didn't realize it.
 
have you tried your local Suzuki dealer? if there isn't a local one there are plenty on line that will ship one to you.
 
There isn't one local but ill look one up online. I never thought about it I just figured it was to old and they wouldn't be able to get the parts.
 
you will be surprised what is still available from Suzuki. most parts are still available even for these 30+ year old bikes.
 
Yeah, that's one of the big things I like about the GS's. You can very nearly build a whole bike with all of the new parts they still manufacture and sell for these old beasts.

Although this may not hold much longer if Suzuki can't keep their head above water.

Also, I do believe your mega welcome has links to a few online OEM parts vendors. I've purchased parts from G&S Suzuki, Boulevard Suzuki, Z1 Enterprises, and eBay.
 
Hi,

Z1Enterprises.com and GSSuzuki.com are my main suppliers. There is an extensive list of vendors in the "mega-welcome".


Thank you for your indulgence,

It might b the gen/dyno cover ill take a pic when I get home.
 
It only takes 20 minutes to cut that gasket from a sheet of gasket material. The bolt holes in the cover are 6 mm. A 1/4" carriage bolt about 3" long makes a perfect punch for cutting the bolt holes. A 5/16" carriage bolt will punch the hole for the locator pin. Put the gasket sheet on top of a piece of 3/4" plywood and sit it on a solid surface. Put the cover on top as a template and punch the holes
