    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.

Measuring CAM Chain - GS1000G 80

Anyone have a copy of the page (I assume it's in the Suzuki manual) that tells you how to measure the cam chain to see if it's past it's limit??

I have two clymer editions & neither of them give you any info past counting the 20 pins between the two arrows (which is fine on my bike, they appear to line up perfectly).

Thanks,

Dan :)

Dan i have something at home in the 1100G shop manual. I dont know off hand but it shows that you simply measure a link or two (probably a few just to get a median idea) both width and length for stretch. I will find it, as it SHOULD be pretty close to the same for the 1000 and PM the info to you this evening :)

That's what I'm looking for... I know a few people have the shop manual so it would be great if someone could post or email me the page.

I have a new chain but not the tool yet (it's 50 bucks) so need to know if I should go get one quick to get this done before Yosemite. The G is off the road right now as I'm prepping it for Yosemite & I want to get some miles on the Skunk to make sure that is 100% too..

Cheers,

Dan

I'll put it on after the ride next Sunday.
 
No need... Thanks for the offer though. In lieu of having the specs I compared it with the new chain I already bought & it's less than 1mm of stretch over 20 links, I find it hard to believe that's out of spec so I'm going to leave well alone.

Thanks again for the offer!

Cheers,
Dan

P.s. the ride is going to be used for a proper shakedown for the skunk.... :)
