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.

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.

    GS300L starts and idles but bogs with throttle

    Sometimes carb problems are actually ignition problems.... just saying :) I had an issue similar to that on a GS1000G where the "ignitor" box was shot. There is a test in the Clymer manual for it. I think you'll have electronic advance but if it's mechanical check that it is free & the springs...

    1980 GS1000S frame and parts

    I can see it on Facebook, definitely looks like the right footpegs, the choke is in the right place for an 80 too I think (the pull up knob at the steering head... Hard to see anything on the pipes. Weird that they look so much cleaner than some of the other parts. A lot of rust on those rearset...

    Rockauto is not BS!

    Yes, there pricing is good. One thing to watch out for is they have multiple shipping points. Once you add something to cart other parts that come from the same warehouse are then marked when you search the list... sometimes it's worth paying a $ or two more for the part to save the added...

    Perhaps the most convoluted oil change I've ever done (KTM)

    Yeah the Husky TE610 had a couple of filters etc etc... pain in the butt. :) The Tenere is no more difficult than a GS (or the KLR) and the air filter is just as easy if not easier too. I like that part for sure. :)

    Sharing my results after fine tuning my '79 GS1000

    Elevation makes a difference too. Also be aware that some people will be using Dynojet Kit & the jets are not comparable size markings, the sizes marked on a Dynojet would be a bigger number, from memory (it was a long time ago like 15 years of something since I last messed with mine).... 135 DJ...

    Different handlebars

    The Euro is my favourite for the 1980G models. I had a Daytona on my 82G I think or maybe it was the one taller version as the Daytona was too far forward. I'm only 5'8" though.... Surprising how much more stretched the 82 is over the 80 G models. :)

    Greatest TV Show of All Time

    I grew up on Knight Rider.... (and CHiPs...) oh... and the A team, a little bit of Airwolf & Streethawk.... :) Funny I had exactly zero intention of ending up in California but maybe it was my calling! :biggrin-new:

    ’79 GS850G caliper rebuilt kits

    If you use the newer calipers 80+ you need to use the newer rotors with them from memory.... If you're not bothered about originality that bike also works with the Twinpot caliper and CBR rotors upgrade. :) Linky here...

    Front OEM shock spring specs for '79 GS850G

    If you're much heavier you can always cut the close wound springs off the progressives & replace it with a solid spacer. That turns them into about a 52lb straight weight spring from memory. Somewhere between 0.9 and 1 kg mm. A lot of heavier guys kind of effectively do that already by really...

    Some 3D Printed Parts for 8 valve 750s

    That should be the right one for a 80-1000G going from memory of what mine had on it.... :)

    Front OEM shock spring specs for '79 GS850G

    I think I might have a set of progressives I bought off someone here & never used... They would be for a 1000 or 1100 so will be the same for an 850G I would think. I can take a look on the shelf if you're interested. PM me an email or cell phone number & I can send pics. :) :cool:
