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.

    Red Dash Light

    When you say it only comes on when the bike is not running....I presume the key is in and turned "on" without hitting the starter? Or is it on without the key,you do not mention this.Just seeing if you have some weird electrical situation.

    Carb dip residue?

    Where they painted? I seem to recall someone boiling their carb bodies to remove residue and then spray with something like WD-40. If you do this don't leave it in too long and make sure no fragile parts are included.

    Turning motor over by hand

    When you turn a motor over by hand(19 mm socket wrench,gs 1000 chain) can you go both clockwise AND counterclockwise if necessary? The motor is hanging up,I want to oil it through the spark plugs and work it back and forth.
