    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.

  • 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.

Just to let you guys know for sure by 81 it was a R/R already.

As for the diesel bike, its a rat bike so yeah that's the way its intended to look. And its a Daihatsu Turbo Diesel.

Yeah but apparently 79 was an R/R too...then switched back in 80...i wonder why they'd do that??
 
Well in the automotive industry if they feel a change they made was the wrong one they've been known to revert to an older tried and true technology. Like in the early 90's GM converted from TBI to Mass Airflow. But their system was too flawed. So they went back to TBI and stuck with it for a few more years.

Maybe the 79 R/R models just weren't good and they changed back. Then felt they could do it right and took a shot at it again?

Lol well we are talking about Suzuki... But hell I'd take a roller bearing crankshaft with a crappy R/R any day of the week
 
well not after 79...at least on the 750 i think the TCSS motor wasnt roller bearing anymore...
 
Hmm thought the only exclusion to that rule was the GS450... I know that as long as the GS engine was in service it featured roller bearings. Although I don't know much about the TCSS. But that would explain why everyone likes the 8-valvers so much

Steve and I and n1elkyfan were talking about it the other day when they were over and only the 750 and either the 1100 or the 1000 (He couldnt remember which. Tho i suspect we could find out in the GS history on the front page...lol) switched to the TCSS design...all others remained 8v roller bearing

Couldn't fathom a clue which one it is. If you ask me I think I'd prefer my 550 over everything else. Well maybe a 650. 750's lose the roller bearings and 850's have a five speed trans. Everything else is a liter bike. And I have no intention of getting one

My 750 is a five speed...
 
Ya I know... sorry but it has VM carbs. And they sound like a B!TCH to tune. And by the time the switched over to CV they were probalby already non-roller bearing
 
Actually i think id rather tune VMs than CVs....i dont have to drill slides and crap for my jet kits :P

Lol hell no i had to wait for like 3 weeks to get my pink from the state of texas. I'd be careful if I were you though. My money pit's got a monster 49 tooth rear sprocket on it lmao
 
Wait you said its a FIVE speed? WTF gives? Why do 550's and 650's get six speed gear boxes then?
 
I also dont have a stock 49 tooth sprocket...stock on mine was 41...That would be a good question to ask the gearheads over in the tech forum?
 
I gotta hit the rack man...i am gonna actually get up EARLY and work on the bike tomorrow....and my jets and intake rings will be here sometime tomorrow too...WOOOHOOO
