    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.

After reading the posts here and the clymer manual im hoping to do the valves on my gs550. The manual refers to fitting new sims of varying thickness depending how far out they are. One thing came to my mind, where do I buy the shims and do they come in packs or must i measure first then go off and buy?

Measure first then get the required individual shims from your dealer.

If you are lucky like me, your Suzuki dealer will trade you your shims for the size you need.... no charge! They used to do that for the Suzukis and Yamahas back in the day.... my dealership still does.

Email Steve swoodin653@aol.com and ask him for his Excel spreadsheet for valve adjustments. It's a good thing to have.
