    GS650 air suspenion

    Been riding the Zook around for a few weeks now. High speed turns are a little scary since the front suspension is really soft. I finally found the air valve to fill the front for forks, but I am getting conflicting info on the amount of air that should go in. Factory manual says...

    1983 Suzuki GS650G

    Hey guys. So quick backstory: I bought this on Craigslist for $400, non-running. After paying WAY too much to tow it to my apartment and it getting hit by some Mo Mo that drove up on the side walk, I finally got it up and running! While I was buying parts to make it work, I went ahead and...

    13mm MC on GS650G

    The old front master cylinder on my GS was worn and the screws on top were stripped out. Admittedly, I rushed into buying a new MC and bought an $80 13mm from PartsNMore.com. Shortly after the part shipped, I read the description on the part which said the 13mm was recomended for single disc...

    Bike found on its side!!! (Drunk driver/attempted theft)

    I did call the cops, but as expected they won't do anything. Chicago Police are the worst when it comes to non-emergency calls.

    Bike found on its side!!! (Drunk driver/attempted theft)

    Update: after further investigation, it looks like some drunk ass clipped the tail and too off. I can imagine he/she is having just as bad of a day as I am. "Why is my car messed up?!?"

    Bike found on its side!!! (Drunk driver/attempted theft)

    Thanks. Not a HUGE deal, just pissed that I had to buy another part. There was a oil all over the sidewalk, but at least the oil change is half done now... HA!
