    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...

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.

Sorry if this is an FAQ...I just got a new petcock Suzuki part number: 44300-44011. According to my dealer this was the correct part for my 79 GS1000. As usual they were wrong. This part has 44mm c to c bolt holes. My tank has 50mm. Thought I'd check here with someone I trust rather than call the dealer again. Thanks in advance.

I think the oddball 1980 "no lever" petcock is the 50mm jobby. Z1 Enterprises sells an aftermarket version that's a little cheaper than OE.
 
Think outside the tank

Hi Mr. justinmcgiver,

Mr. focus frenzy found that a Harley petcock fit very nicely. Check this thread and perhaps send him a PM to get more information.


Thank you for your indulgence,

It appears that your bike may be a 80 model or someone has changed the tank.
 
Well my frame # is 517740...I think that makes the bike a '79 GS1000EN? Is this correct? If so then someone must have changed the tank...
 
I got my petcock from Z1 last night and someone has changed the tank on mine (I think). The 44mm bolt to bolt was correct, but the plastic part that goes up into the tank is just barely too wide to fit through the hole in my tank. Gonna have to retun I suppose.
