Book Excerpt: 1976-1982 Suzuki GS550, GS750 Fours Repair Manual FRAME AND FORKS
FRONT FORKS: DISMANTLING
  1. It is advisable to dismantle each fork leg separately, using an identical procedure. There is less a chance of unwittingly exchanging parts if this approach is adopted. Begin by draining each fork leg of damping oil; there is a drain plug in each lower leg above and to the rear of the wheel spindle housing. Remove the chromium plated bolt at the top of each fork leg. The fork has a one or two piece spring, depending on the model. On the latter type, the two springs are separated by a small spacer.
  2. Clamp the fork lower leg in a vice fitted with soft jaws, or wrap a length of rubber inner tube around the leg to prevent damage. Unscrew the socket screw, recessed into the housing which carried the front wheel spindle. Pry the dust excluder from position and slide it up the fork upper tube. The upper tube (stanchion) can be pulled out of the lower fork leg. Pull the damper rod seat off the rod, invert the upper tube and push the damper rod out of position towards the top end of the tube.
  3. The oil seal fitted to the top of the lower leg should be removed only if it is to be replaced, because damage will almost certainly be inflicted when it is pried from position. The seal is retained by a spring clip.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
STARTER MOTOR FREE RUNNING CLUTCH; CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION
  1. Although it is a mechanical and not an electrical component, it is appropriate to include the free running clutch in this Chapter because it is an essential part of the electric starter system.
  2. As mentioned in Chapter 1, the free running clutch is built into the alternator rotor assembly and will be found in the back of the rotor when the latter is removed from the left-hand end of the crankshaft. The only parts likely to require attention are the rollers and their springs, or the bushing in the center of the driven sprocket. Access to the rollers is gained by removing the three countersunk crosshead screws which retain the clutch body to the rear of the alternator rotor. Signs of wear or damage will be obvious and will necessitate replacement of the worn or damaged parts.
  3. The bushing in the center of the driven sprocket behind the clutch will need replacement only after very extensive service.
  4. To check whether the clutch is operating correctly, turn the driven sprocket counterclockwise. This should force the spring loaded rollers against the crankshaft and cause it to tighten on the crankshaft as the drive is taken up.
  5. If the starter clutch has been dismantled, make sure the three crosshead screws are staked over after reassembly, to prevent them from working loose.
