I need a Suzuki GS300L manual from any year, 82-85 works. I need the cylinder bore limits for a GS300L and maybe the torques for the cylindr head bolts. somebody said that the bore limit is 60.095(2.3659 in)
I asked my mechanic and he said that that didn't seem right.
Just send me a PM with the detail and ill get back to you

Thanks,
KT

To begin with your pistons are 62mm. So 60.095 for the bore limit is way off. I will try and get back with the information that you are after. What size are the head bolts -- 8mm?
 
The bore wear limit is 62.095mm. So the 0.095mm wear equates to 3 1/2 thou" or 0.0037". The section of the bore with the greatest wear is going to be about 1/4 to 1/2" down from the top of the cylinder where the piston rocks to change direction from upward stroke to downward stroke. Good luck.

P.S. If you need another set of pistons. Oversize or whatever, then the 650 pistons are the same as yours.
 
If you are looking for manuals and can't find them here try http://www.e-classicbike.com/

Stephen is located in New Zealand but he is a pleasure to deal with and he can likely provide what you need. I was looking for a manual for the 82 Katana and he was able to provide me with a reprint of the factory manuals for all 80 to 83 750 series GSs including mine. Total cost shipped to Canada $50.

He also asked me to mention, he has a lot of manuals for Hondas if anyone is looking.

Cheers all,

You can also get paint codes, any information about YOUR INDIVIDUAL BIKE such as when it left the factory, original country code it was manyfactured for ..almost anything you can think to ask.

Sounds like a great service; how do they afford that?
 
your $50.00 INVESTMENT is what prompted me to relay it yet again..When i got my blue one in my album pics all i knew was it was a Suzuki and the VIN..When i called they told me it was manufactured in August of 76..I hope anyone seeing this post will store the number in their cell phones, address books, wherever and just pass it along anytime they can think to.. And your welcome and MERRY XMAS
 
Posplayr...probably not many people know about it...I even offered the gal to pay for them. I got one for my 77 750 and my78 750. Took about 2 weeks to arrive..remeber folks youre only gonna get what you are savy enough to ask about..Think your situation thru and what specifically you wanna ask and then fire away.

Maybe this kind of info should be put in the KEEPERS section so others can juyst reference it and save a few bucks and time in searching all corners of humanity looking for stuff....just thinking aloud here!!!

I put that information on the "More Manuals" page right after you told me about it. Those are some nice folks at the HQ.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Cool Cliff..I hadnt had need of the site in quite some time to have seen it..not that i was saying you had disregarded it.. Was more making the point ( as has been made to me ) to use the search mode and to read everythng in that post because somewhere someone had already addressed this. Manuals seem to be a hot topic for sure..By the way I hadnt heard much about Jessie since you guy took the sledge to the frame..How is she and how are you doing??
 
:( Boy am I bummed. Tried the number this morning but it now seems to be automated and I couldn't get a live body. I don't know if that's because i'm calling from the frozen white north or not but I suspect if I did get through they wouldn't help me anyway as the center is Suzuki U.S. . Everytime I call down there to a major corporation, they give me the, sorry can't help you" heave ho.

I did try to contact Suzuki Canada but its only be e-mail so I'll need to see what happens.
