    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.

    You're going to need louder horns. We never got as far as 675, we got off at Austin Blvd. .

    What's up with tires?

    You asked "What's up with tires?" Sorry, but you have it wrong. Your tires should be DOWN. :oops: .

    I guess everybody was too busy riding to stop and take pictures. Or they are waiting for a better Internet connection to post them. .

    Checking in. We got home at 11:55, safe and dry. Bikes are unloaded and put away. As I am typing this, I hear some large rain drops hitting the roof. :oops: .

    idle adjustment: 79 850g

    Those carbs are also correct for a '79 850. The '79 model year of both of those bikes should have a kick starter, points and VM carbs. .

    Can’t find 4-1 headers

    Can't say I would recommend that one. :unsure: He says it fits "all GS 4 cylinders from ‘79-‘86 (GS750, GS1000, GS1100, and GS1150)". Sorry, but the two-valve and 4-valve 750s have different header length and spacing, not to mention the 750s are smaller diameter and height than the larger...

    Restoring '83 GS1100GK to full touring glory

    Hoffman had to be a member to post, but after a certain amount of time of no activity, his account was probably removed, leaving him with "guest" status. .

    Please help with 1982 GS1000G

    I made a couple other observations, but they might not be accurate based on your comment of "unoriginal paint" and your potential location, which is evidently not in the USA. Over here, there was no 1000 in '82, it would have been an 1100. Bodywork and wheels confirm it's at least an '82, but...

    Very nice-looking bike and a very fair price. Somebody will be very happy. Good luck with the sale. (y) .

    Technically, they're both GSes. :unsure: And a wrenching session is certainly not anything that we haven't done before. .

    #3 cylinder pipe cold and oil leaking from #3 cylinder

    That is correct. That is why the "X" shims exist, so you only move half-way through the range. Chuck, be careful throwing numbers without specifying units. You are correct, one shim will change the gap by 0.002, but that is INCHES. All previous mentions of sizes have been one shim size...

    #3 cylinder pipe cold and oil leaking from #3 cylinder

    Shoot for "in the range of 0.03-0.08mm", but keep in mind that if you change a shim that has 0.03-0.05 clearance, it will jump to 0.08-0.10. Although slightly above "the range", it works out quite well. .

    First Road Crash

    Good to hear that you're OK. Also good that is was not the GS. :oops: In post #1 you say "could feel my left knee and helmet grinding on the road". In post #5 you say "My armored Joe Rocket jacket and my helmet seem undamaged." The two statements are at odds with each other. Look the helmet...
