    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.

Oem Suzuki MLS head gasket

I am looking for a definitive answer to the question when you use the above gasket do you still use the oblong oring for the cam tunnel gasket, I have asked the dealer (Robinsons foundry) and the answer as below.

As far as we are aware you can use this gasket without the centre o-ring but we do not have any data from Suzuki advising us about this :(
 
My understanding is like Robinson's; the rectangular O-ring around the cam tunnel is eliminated when using the MLS gasket.
 
If you mean the o-ring that sits in the recess on the barrel that goes around the cam chain tunnel then thats a big fat yes. And WTH is a OEM MLS gasket? That o-ring i presume you mean #8 .... http://www.mrcycles.com/oemparts/a/suz/50d40177f8700230d8b4e4c4/cylinder-head

not sure what you mean by "WTH is a Suzuki Oem MLS Gasket"? ( unless it's "what the hell") is so then it's an
original equiptment manufacturer = Oem. MLS = multi layered steel gasket.

this gasket is an Suzuki updated one from the original.
