    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.

    Sparks, Zats, Ignition Coils, and Gas Mileage

    That makes sense. Remeasured my old coils at 4 ohms primary (10.6mH Henry), and secondary of 12.2 kohm (42 Henry), and I will be measuring the new coils tomorrow with the warmer weather. Good to know that others are getting 55mpg with the stock setup. Your number lines up close to what I could...

    Sparks, Zats, Ignition Coils, and Gas Mileage

    Apologies about the length. I'll sum the problem up. After I replaced the spark plug boots/wires. I can get 60 MPG with my old coils, but the new coils drop it back down to 45 MPG. About 3 weeks of testing with both the old and new coils. Trying to figure out if the anyone has experience with...

    Wind screen faring shield for 1982 GS650GL

    Welp finally took the plunge this season and bought myself a the Streetshield EX from National Cycle. I couldn't decide in time last season before it was too late to use. So many choices, if only it stayed just above freezing I would have the big fairing. The Streetshield EX looks so good, and I...

    Wind screen faring shield for 1982 GS650GL

    Thanks for all the replies. The helmet was the problem. Turns out the size was too close and there was not enough padding. I ended up buying a Scorpion RX420. I used lidpicker.com to figure out the helmets that would work for me. Still had to try them on, since being somewhere between an xl and...

    Wind screen faring shield for 1982 GS650GL

    Hello, I got my bike last year after finding this forum, a 1982 GS650GL. Specifically thanks to all the great info that this forum has generated. I've gotten the carbs rebuilt, starter button replaced(popped out), tappets shimmed (vibs now at 7k instead of 5k), petcock replaced. Those are...
