    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Hi everyone.
I have just purchased a non-running GS 450 L and I was desperately navigating the internet looking for info and resources when I found this awesome forum. It looks like I can find here everything I need plus very competent members. Please forgive my English (it?s not my mother tongue) and my ignorance about this bike. I hope you can help me at least for the latter.
 
Welcome. Your English is better than many people I know who only know English. I don’t recall having any other members from Luxembourg, many other Europeans here though.

I would suggest creating a signature that has your bike’s year and model info at the very least. Go to settings at the top right of any page.

A good first read, if you haven’t already, is the Top 10 Newbie Mistakes thread linked in my signature. I didn’t write it, but do reference it often.
 
Welcome!

As was said, your English is great.

Do post pics of your bike and update your signature as suggested.

Ed

Hello, Atranti!
The main library here is BikeCliff's. goto BikeCliff's Website Much of the information there is common to all the Suzukis of this era. Also, https://www.thegsresources.com/_for...41-2-Cylinder-(Twin)-Engine-Drivetrain-Clutch on the forum is particular to the twin cylinder Suzukis...

ALSO, an excellent pdf shop manual for the 450 here, if the link still works. If not "PM" me and I'll send it on

Thank you all. Very helpful hints.
I’ll follow your advice and read all the documents you linked to start with. I’ll also improve my signature as soon as I understand which year is my bike exactly.
 
Thank you very much

Thank you very much

The service manual is awesome, thank you. I couldn't find it anywhere.
