Title: New Valve Check Videos
Post by: BaltimoreGS on April 23, 2012, 07:50:31 PM
Did some new valve check videos using the method specified in the Suzuki service manual.  Thanks to Lidiya and her husband Tu for volunteering their bikes.  I didn't watch the videos before I uploaded them so let me know if there are any easily corrected mistakes before I delete the video files on my hard drive.

I checked out the 01-02 video, great job my only suggestion is put a note in saying don't rotate tge engine backwards. Otherwise well done.

When i get home (at work right now) i will be watching this with sound. Looks like it will help a lot, as i want to do this just to make sure everything is ok. I dont have any engine/running problems, other than a slight tick. great job :thumb:

Watched the 04 video. Very good. I like how you edit out the bolt removal and and re-install parts. Makes the vids short and to the point. I've bookmarked it so I can use it later to check mine for the first time. I've done it before on my old thumper but the GS is a little different. Your video will make it much easier. If not my mechanic is down your way.

Thanks!

89-2000

The E turned into an F at the end of it (fairing replacement) and then back into an E.

Little wind noise. No biggie.

Choke cable could use some exposed shots, but that would probably have to be with a carb set that was off the bike.

Kinda glossed over the drain tube replacement, but hopefully you remember that if you just took it off. Thing is a PITA to get "not kinked" on my bike, anyway.

Good job.
