    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.

    In-Line fuel filter?

    But a filter wouldn't have helped either...(hose after filter). Other than that, what Grimly says applies. Though I have to add that I've had no major trouble with the mesh filters on my petcocks (other than them getting dislodged, but an easy fix once you know it happened), but also: regular...

    Fuse blew twice, half my bulbs went out, voltage seems to high

    Yes, the word-wide supply chains currently do have quite broad ranges for delivery; covid, evergreen, etc. pp. Generic three-phase R/R's are produced&used in the millions. Instead of exclusively online, you can also ask your nearest friendly motorcycle shop if they have an used one to spare...

    Fuse blew twice, half my bulbs went out, voltage seems to high

    Your regulator is fried; and you absolutely cannot run the bike without one; you're compounding the damage! Fuses blow to _protect_ the rest of the system; this can be caused by either voltage or current climbing too high. Sorry, but until you replace the R/R, your bike is grounded. If you...

    Cylinder stops firing when bike heats up

    ...that right there is your culprit, you'll have to "debug" your fuel system from the carbs right up into the tank. I had similar problems; in my case the carbs wouldn't stop overflowing. My "journey" is documented in that thread (direct link to post)...

    Reasons battery drains overnight

    Blown SH775? Colour me skeptical; at least from what you've written...but I guess you did check voltages etc.

    1981 gs750 (gs750e) Retro Racer project

    Nice work! Btw, where did you get your clutch lever/perch? I'm currently looking to replace the OEM ones on a few on a bikes, to get more adjustment range.

    Battery not charging (GS550E 1980)

    Yeah, that's it. Was about to help, but now my ignore list just got another entry.

    new member with abused GS750

    The GS engines are quite sturdy, and the bikes themselves to my knowledge have only two known weak points: One, the charging system, and two, there are some shaft-driven runs that have a weak final drive. But you'll get some more info as soon as some more knowledgeable members chime in. With...

    Cleaning tips for grit and baked oil

    Man, I aspire to get my engine as clean&nice as your example, chuck. Outstanding. Now I just gotta find that paint.

    650 gs carbs...Steve?

    Likely because he didn't take into account that maybe the PM system is broken*) and his email got eaten by a spam filter. *) my most recent PM's went unanswered and email notifications by the forum seem to be broken as well.

    82 1100e Coil options ? I have Dynatec but want other style.

    Yeah, I mean when I had to replace mine, freshly made OEM, or OEM-style aftermarket were available. That was like 3-4 years ago, I would assume this is still the case.

    Down to one bike now.

    Not sure then why you're going back and forth. Economy? Storage?

    MIKUNI Choke plunger seat replacement and Air corrector jets for GS fours VM's

    Ah, thanks for the clarification (Luckily, no ethanol fuel around here unless you specifically seek it out).

    MIKUNI Choke plunger seat replacement and Air corrector jets for GS fours VM's

    Eh, so do I understand this correctly; these worn seats cause the choke circuit to leak fuel? How to test? Cause mine sure as hell don't look like the provided picture. But I have observed a few of the described issues.

    Cleaning tips for grit and baked oil

    Not sure what kinda baked-on we're talking about since it resisted a steel brush; but I had good results with pressure washing. Not sure if the cheapo bottom-of-the-barrel homegamer units suffice, I've used the ones at a car wash. They have serious machinery behind them, and you can select...

    No compression?

    Just add some washers. It's what a PO did on one of mine.

    Charging test

    ...what on earth are you trying to ask exactly, Ian? (That charging system is fine, I'd say). (Edit: Correction, no it's too weak at higher rpms)

    '82 GS450 Engine Chatter - Cam Related?

    Yes, what about it? It's exactly why I'm a bit stumped that by merely wiggling the tach cable the issue (apparently) went away. But also, this could've been sheer coincidence, forgot to take this into account.
