With ref to me selling te bike in question , firstly it is now worth more as it is famous!!!! But you may also remember it's available because the other one has a newer engine and the 400 is good to go again, Also it's a limited offer to make space until I can find time and space to sort out the swapping heads. If it don't find a new home so be it i'll just extend the garage!

What do you use the 13mm spanner for Fossie? :?

Suzuki's dont use that size of bolt heads! ;)

Good read by the way!

Maybe if you did check the valve clearances every once and a while the engines would last even longer.............because the GS range of Suzuki's tended suffer from their valve clearances getting smaller. ;)

The 13 mm is for the adjusters on the 400 and my pop up as I've changed the bolts to ones that I cut cut a groove in so I can adjust both the same with out looking at the markings on the swingarm. Oh and it's on the other end of the 17mm , used for undoing top shock bolt when changing rear wheel, so the swingarm drops away allowing access to spindle.

Used to do valves more often but never needed anything waste of a gasket.
If you remember the stuck valve happened after I disturbed the valve by reshimming, Must have been there that long they were mates.
