    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.

Looking for torque specs for all the side covers for a 1982 GS450L. can’t seem to find the info in my clymer manual.
thanks,
chris
 
Engine covers, right? A lot of people here call the pretty painted plastic with the model badges "side covers."
 
As a general rule, if the shop manual doesn't give specific instructions to torque particular bolt or screws, use the torque specs per the size given in the "general" torque chart found in most manuals...

But without such a chart, and having a small torque wrench that uses "inch #"(or the metric equivalent), for those screws, holding the stator and clutch covers, I think you'll find it's Not Much... A "hard hand tight" often does. but a tap with and impact driver should be More than enough. If not, it's probably time to renew the gasket.

You can't have too many manuals. Get the Real Suzuki Manual here:
