    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.

  • Hello everyone! Recently acquired a 82' GS1100GL, gorgeous bike! Well I've done a lot to the bike since I acquired it, I've done tank clean, carb clean, rebuilt the carb, cleaned airbox, new air filter, all the oils and brake fluids, new petcock, new fuel lines, new battery, and I'm running into issues tuning the carb. To begin I got the bike running on Saturday, 4/6 and she ran great for 20 mins, I rode her around great it just had starting problems because I drained the battery trying to start her. On the last 5 mins of that ride I got into 3rd gear and gave it throttle and she just bogged and had no response and had a little backfire, took her home threw her on the trickle charger and noted that all four pipes were hot and I would just check the carbs again on Sunday. Well Sunday comes around and I get the bike started and it has no power when in neutral and I give it a little throttle, rough idles like fluctuating up and down, and I noticed cylinder 2 and 3 are luke warm to the touch after idling for 10 mins while 1 and 4 are normal hot. Just looking for some advice, this is my first bike and its also the first real bike I've gotten the chance to tinker with and take apart and work on.
