1980 Suzuki GS 750 L - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
How do i replace battery in 1980 suzuki 850 gs?
Do you know where it is located?
Have you had issues with it, as in dead and let to freeze, acid spilled out onto the bike from being frozen or overcharged etc?
If so mix up some baking soda and water and pour over connections and frame then wash off bike before swapping battery.
Take off negative first and put back on last, just like with a car battery.
If wet cell, fill to proper level and charge first on 1A or smaller charger for a day... If GSM or Gel, install and ride.

Why does my 79 Suzuki GS 750 get hot just idling
how long you letting it idle and not moving down the road ? its air cooled that needs movement to cool the engine ! another problem i once had was that after i polished the side casings to make it look good in a chopper style bike it overheated quicker than before , just a thought ! is yours std ? any more info you got ??
Why bike will not move in any gear?
This is a bit vague.. If engine is running an you select a gear but nothing.. I would look to the drive between the crank and gearbox.. this goes via the clutch and could be the issue..
This sounds dumb but check the obvious.. start at the back wheel and work back.. check chain and front sprocket.. then ensure you can select gears and then clutch and primary drive..
850 gsl
Have you looked inside the clutch case ? check the clutch is releasing , check the keyway on the crank cog hasnt snapped that drives the clutch etc !
Getting gas in the motor
Sticking or badly adjusted float valve in one or more of the carbs...be careful when turning it over until sorted as may cause hydraulic lock.

!980 gS750l HAS A SCREW HEAD TYPE PETCOCK. IT LOOKS LIKE THE LEVEL IS MISSING BUT THAT IS THE STOCK PIECE. TWO SCREWS HOLD THE PETCOCK TO THE TANK. REMOVE THOSE AND THE PETCOCK BASICALLY FALLS OFF. YOUR NEW ONE SHOUILD HAVE AT LEAST THE SAME BASE WITH THE SAME DISTANCE BETWEEN THE SCREW HOLES.
I had a friend rebuild
Chances are that synchronizing and balancing the carbs will do the trick. Have a dealer do the job. This is best done by trained mechanics.
How to change 1980 Suzuki GS850G motorcycle
pull the head light out and unscrew the speedo cable, then pull it out of the head light houseing and then disconnect it fom the cylinder head cam cover about center of the cover.had this very same bike, did this exact job, but in my case the cable had just come loose from the speedo head from engine vibration, happened twice, most lilely that is the case with yours as well
I have a 1980 Suzuki
NEVER jump a motorcycle with a car, there is no telling what you fried on the bike. You are lucky the ecm is not toast along with the rectifier and other electrical componets. Replace the battery, it obviously has a dead cell and won't hold a charge.
Hello, i bought an 80
Is the clutch hydraulic or does it use a cable? If it's hydraulic, you 've probably either got air in the system or a bad master or slave cylinder. The clutch arm movement might be only to the point of resistance or before it which would explain why you don't feel the resistance. If your clutch is cable acutated, there is no explainable reason why you wouldn't feel the resistance of the clutch springs when you squeeze it.
