    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Fork issues

So on my 82 gs1100e I been have oil leaking on the left fork. I've changed the seal twice with a Suzuki seal and still get leaks on that fork. Also, notice that harsher bump a knock coming the front. Is there a bushing I should inspect and could be worn out? or should I look for different forks in that case are there ones that would be able to handle more weight and have no anti-dive attached like from a 1100gk?

Have you very carefully examined the tube for tiny dings or nicks? Using a very bright light, not looking at them in a dimly light corner of the garage. :)

Very common for tubes to have dings in them, they usually have sharp edges that cut up the sealing surface of the fork seals. Take some extra fine steel wool and lightly buff the tubes.
