    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...

    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.

Your bike has no lifters, to start with, it has dual overhead cams (DOHC). Noise from the cam drivetrain is good. When you don't hear them rattling away, then you have cause to be worried.
Anyway, Welcome to the forum, you'll find a lot of informative stuff here, our unofficial, but official greeter, BassCliff will be along sometime today to greet you with a whole lot of good links to go to find out about your bike. In fact, here's a link to his home page(BikeCliff) with a wealth of information: http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff/

Enjoy!!:D

Hi Mr. vallo2019,

Yes, performing routine maintenance, like valve clearance checks, on these bikes is not hard. And we're here to help. You'll need a breather gasket, valve cover gasket, a tappet tool (or use the "zip tie method"), and some extra shims (but you won't know what size shims you need until you know what sizes you have and what your clearances are). There's a handy guide on my website. Welcome.

If there's anything you'd like to know about the Suzuki GS model bikes, and most others actually, you've come to the right place. There's a lot of knowledge and experience here in the community. Come on in and let me say "HOoooowwwDY!"....:)

Here is your very own magical, mystical, mythical, mind-expanding "mega-welcome". Please take notice of the "Top 10 Common Issues", the Carb Rebuild Series, and the Stator Papers. Now let me roll out the welcome mat for you...

Please click here for your mega-welcome, chock full of tips, suggestions, links to vendors, and other information. Then feel free to visit my little BikeCliff website where I've been collecting the wisdom of this generous community. Don't forget, we like pictures! Not you, your bike! :D

Thanks for joining us. Keep us informed.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
