    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.

Hey guys and gals,
How critical is it for me to buy the same push rods that came off my bike? Backstory...my chain broke off on the freeway a few days back. That same day I noticed it felt like the clutch was slipping at freeway speed. It would rev like I was changing gears. Also three weeks ago a friend tightened my chain. Today I am without a chain and the push rod is broken into 4 pieces. It is also very bent. Immediately following the chain break, all the oil leaked out near the clutch pedal.
I took off the cover and cleaned what seemed like 1/2" of oil and grine. I need a chain, a push rod and a the rubber seal. I cannot for the life of me find the same push rod I just removed from my bike. It is 4" long and looks as though the ends were manually tapered. Please help with any aspect of this thread but most of all can I buy a piece of stainless and use that as a push rod? Thank you!

You need to not let this "friend" adjust your chain again. Get new sprockets along with the new chain, leave it good and loose, and find Suzuki parts for the pushrod. You probably need the pushrod oil seal too. Start with telling us which motorycle you have.

Welcome to the forum.

Reply, what motorcycle do I have

Hi, Thanks for replying. My chain is somewhere on the 110 freeway. I have a suzuki gs400x 1978. Can't find a push rods on any websites selling suzuki parts.
 
I believe the service replacement pushrod kit is two pieces, but it will interchange with the older one piece type.
