Hello - 83 Suzuki GS450E Rider - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Howdy all,

Found your forum after doing some brake research. Seems you have an archive which may prove useful in modifying my bike to suit my size. I love the bike, but it needs some additional work to handle my tall stature. The bike only outweighs me by 130 pounds so the shocks and forks need some additional attention to smooth out the handling. Just saying hi and glad to have found your forums. Hope to be a long time contributing member as I love riding and have for many years, though just got into street riding again after 12 years (mostly dirt bike and racing quads prior to).

Here's a link to my bike pic - didn't want to post pics without knowing the size limits and what not.

Nice looking bike for being 20+ yrs

Thanks Zenn - been doing a lot of TLC type stuff to get her running at her best. O rings - carb cleaning - brakes, and replacing the dings from the last owner. Just got done rejetting her also to compensate for the K&N filters that came with it. Did real nice on a 250 mile ride last weekend so I'm happy with it.
