    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Does anyone have that spec for the tool used to adjust the tapets on the '82/83 GS1100's?

I recall seeing it as a small circular handle tool that easily fit in your palm
 
Wood screw with the 1/8" square hole in the head, screwed into a piece of wooden dowel.
The screw head fits over the adjuster perfectly.
 
There available at Suzuki shops and are cheap for a original part.
 
The Suzuki type tools are available in a couple different sizes. Anyone know the size of the square head (mm) for the 1100E offhand? I think it is 3mm, but not positive. I usually use a pair of needle-nose pliers to hold it while loosening the locknut, and then adjust it.

Like tkent02 said........................robertson head wood screw, screwed into a wood dowel. The you just use the square in the robertson head to adjust.
Can't get much simpler and cheaper than that.
