    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.

I'm not sure anyone is aware, but many of the links at the beginning of the extremely valuable MEGA-WELCOME Link are broken.
However, I did go to BassCliff's website and got to all of them that way.
Just an FYI for any other Noobs here.

Thanks, BassCliff, for this invaluable resource. It's extremely helpful!

Greetings and Salutations,

(EDIT: Please DO NOT "Reply" to this thread to introduce yourself. This is an informational post only. Feel free to start a new thread in the "GS Owners" section of the forum to introduce yourself. Thanks!)

Every once in a while I will miss a new member or two and they may not receive their proper greeting. If you are here you probably have a 30 year old motorcycle that needs about 20 years worth of maintenance. In the links below you'll find maintenance lists, documentation, wiring diagrams, "how to" guides, vendor links, tips, tricks, and a whole lot of GS goodness. This is your "mega-welcome". Let's get started. :)

Let me dump a TON of information on you and share some GS lovin'. :D

I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.

If there's anything you'd like to know about the Suzuki GS model bikes, and most others actually, you've come to the right place. There's a lot of knowledge and experience here in the community. Come on in and let me say "HOoooowwwDY!"....

Here is your very own magical, mystical, mythical, mind-expanding "mega-welcome".

Hi, i live in Melbourne, Australia. We are locked down due to the virus and cant go anywhere. So i decided to start a project. She arrived today a 1977 GS 750. All original but needs a load of work. Ive never done this before. My other bike is a 2015 BMW K1300 which is nearly impossible to work on.
 
Hi everyone, my name is Nik and I live in southern California. I picked up a 1982 GS450L from a buddy that needed to get rid of it for free and am currently planning to build it into a cafe racer. I know that many would not like to hear this, but I am more of a to each their own kind of guy. Anyway, I am currently just researching what parts i will use to make it into what i want.
 
Hello everyone. I'm new to the forums and have been poking around, having a few chuckles, and taking note of good information. My GS is a '79 GS850GN that I bought 6 years ago in decent running condition. It's been under wraps for the last 5 years but after selling a 2004 Honda 599 Hornet I'm finally finding time to clean up and tinker up the old GS. I drained the gas and added fresh, plopped in the battery and hit the starter. Caught on the third crank. Can't complain! Now working on fluid changes and replacing a sticky choke cable but been running it around town in the meantime and loving it. Thank you for this great resource. I look forward to browsing through the other posts as I bring my old GS back to regular use. - Dyl

Hello, I live in south central Kansas, I'm 39, and I'm man that is new to motorcycles but not to tools in my hands. I purchased an 1100gkz on the cheap and have been having some problems due to my ignorance. I have no doubt everyone here could be a huge help. I had to partially rebuild the wire harness and I've replaced the stator and the CDI. I went ahead and got a dyna electronic ignition, but I'll speak more on that in the proper feed. Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. After having trouble with my big toy, I got a small pit bike and got it running. It did give me a little better general idea of how bikes work.
 
Cthulhu, as its stated over and over in this thread to not reply here, yet people still do, Please copy what you wrote and start a new thread in The GS Owners forum. That’s where introductory threads should go. Then a dozen people over there can tell you your bike never had a CDI. :rolleyes:
 
First post of the thread....Please note the BOLD type...
