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.

    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.

    Help w/ GS1100E(z) TO-DO List

    Painting the motor black will guarantee at least an additional 15 hp. Ask any '83 1100ED owner:D:rolleyes::hand::clap: I would seriously do the 530 conversion. I did one on my '83, with the faster motor, and it was a breeze. Not too difficult, not too expensive,around $250, and a major...

    Improvised cold weather gloves report

    I had some of the Hippo Hands when I lived in Vermont but found them to be too cumbersome to get any enjoyment out of the ride.

    Improvised cold weather gloves report

    I tried nitrile under my snowmobile gloves a few weeks back on a cold morning,32F. By the time I did the 12 miles to work,the tips of my fingers were aching. Think I will have to try the silk glove liners. Hate to think I have to quit riding completely.

    Here you go http://www.bikescreen.com/ He made me a custom one for a GS1150 and for a good price. I think around $150 w/shipping. Right down in Saint Augustine Florida

    McMaster-Carr

    True. I had that happen once. I went to the local Fastenal store, who supplies us at work, got the exact screws I needed,that night and with a discount. If anyone needs the allen screws for GS1100ED carb bowls and upper lid, let me know. I have a few:-k:eek::D

    Oh man.....Not McMaster Carr???:eek: I got to be careful around them. Man, it gets to be dead winter and I can go friggin nuts with them. Sure they have almost everything you could want or need and you get it the next day in 95% of my many many orders through them. I can have my purchase taken...

    the herd is thinning

    Alright Scotty, I just got home and it a scorching 45F. Come to Maine, Don and I'll show you around:-k You can even come to Moosehead, heck DonP rode all the way up the 1st year. Don't know when I'll be home bound again. Maybe next year:confused:

    the herd is thinning

    Oh come on Don. I rode to work this morning and it was 25 when I left. Nothing to it. Just like riding in Florida except for the scenery,curves, hills, etc:D

    Bought a GS1100E, Damn Oil Leak

    I had the same leak on my 83 1100E, with the faster black motor,:p and chased it all over the place. Mine was coming from the gasket on the cam chain tensioner. I know it is all the way on the back of the engine but it traveled all the way to the front to drive me crazy until I found it.

    the herd is thinning

    I rode into work yesterday. Granted it was at 1 PM but I got out at 10pm. Had to clean a lot of dew off the bike. Sure a little cool but nothing bad enough to stop me from riding. Not cold enough to bring out the snowmobile gloves so it ain't too bad:-k:D I'll ride until there is snow on the...

    don't do this

    Mine are the same way. We must have had the same monkey wrench on them. Have to search in the area to find a machine shop with laser.:-k
  17. crag antler

    What's the secret?

    Also check the cam chain tensioner in the back under the carbs. I had a small leak on my 83 1100E and the damn thing would travel to the front driving me nuts. Go figure, but I fixed that leak and the other went away.:-k

    How does this plug look??

    In the chance of asking a dumb question, are these screws circled my pilot fuel screws? Thanks.

    How does this plug look??

    With new plugs in,I started her up today and after warming up for about 8 minutes she settled down into a somewhat good idle. Had good throttle response with only a tiny bit of smoke. It smelled like fuel and not oil burning so I think I just need to put the 105's back in and do a carb synch...

    Jet size question for '83 GS1100ED

    I'm pretty sure the 125's I got them from Bike Bandit as a OEM part. The 105's I not sure. Not marked. Are factory jets marked. I'm almost think Mikuni and dynas are marked. Could be wrong. I warmed her up today and after warming up for about 8 minutes she settled down into a somewhat good...
