    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.

Hello This is my first posting on this forum, I'v reciently purchased a used 92' Suzuki Gs500e. Im very happy with the bike so far (it's my first bike also) anyway I have discoverd one of the allen bolts that holds the exaust header on the left hand side is snapped off, pretty sure it was like that when I bought it. (it has been layed down once by a previous owner) tried to drill out the broken fastener, and remove with a screw remover, but no luck, So Iv pulled the engine apart and the and the local machine shop will be removing the broken fastener (I hope!) Ok, so assuming that all works out I must re-assemble the engine, This in my first bike but I have some limeted experience with engines so I think I can get it back together, pulled the diagrams off bike bandet and such, however I dont know the torq's for the fasteners :roll: and Im not sure how soon ill be able to get my hands on a shop manuial so if anyone out there knows the appropriate torq's for theses fasteners I would be very gratefull!! ok here goes.. (1) Cylinder head nuts ft/lbs? (2) Cylinder head cover allen key (4 short and 2 long ones) ft/lbs? (3) Breather cover bolt ft/lbs? (4) Camshaft upper "C" section journal (total of 4, held in place by 2 bolts each) ft/lbs?
Ohh also if there is any fasterner in there that Iv left out feel free to let me know the approapiate ft/lbs for that also. Any hints and tips would be helpfull aslo, This is realy my only second time tearing an engine down of this type this much so im a bit nervouse. Well anyway thanks for your time! If you have the info feel free to e-mail me at jsmeltzer@superpa.net
thanks!

there is a chart in my haynes that gives torque acording to the diameter of the threads in MMs. I will scan it tomorrow if i remember and post it here
 
Be aware that torque settings are sometimes determined by diameter AND a 'mark' on bolt head.For example, an 8mm bolt with a '7'on head,is torqued higher than an 8mm with a '4' on head. Of course, if no number or symbol, then you do go by the chart. Why is everything so complicated? KK
 
ohh

ohh

Sorry Slopoke didnt see where you posted the chart , I found it now :lol: thanks for your help!
