    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 just put in a new battery and now it's running normally. It's 60 degrees today, so I didn't need too much warming up time. The remaining problem is the seat lock. I went to my friend's house because his dad is a locksmith and he took the lock off and said it's busted from being worn over 30 years. So I need a new seat lock. Does Suzuki still sell locks for older bikes or am I better off getting one as a spare part?
 
I'm fairly sure the parts are still available. I "may" have a complete lockset around here. I have three 77-80 GS550's.. and I only intend on keeping one on the road so I don't need the other two locksets. You'll need to get back to me later this week on this. I won't have time to try out my keys untill wednesday or thursday.

Yes. I was checking mrcycles.com last night trying to find a solution for you and found that all of the seat lock parts are available. Their price is roughly $45 for a new seat lock.
