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.

    Oil contamination

    I'd come here to ask how long since it's been run & to suggest condensation could be a thing... I'm glad you figured it out. Good tip from First Timer too. I've not experienced that but read of it being a thing. The KLR's can do that too as well as have their impeller spin on the shaft... :)

    Electrical gremlins affecting indicator lights and starter circuit

    I always add extra ground wires to those rubber mounted plates. They ground through the bolts as stock. I use a cable big enough to take the full load of the bike in case that wire becomes the main ground due to dirty connections at any point... :)

    Wont rev over ~5000rpm

    If you don't find something in the fueling I'd look at the igniter next. On your bike it has the electronic advance so you need a mechanical advancer conversion to use the Dyna S or you need to use the Dyna 2000. Good luck. :)

    1982 GS750T: Warped Front Disc - Replacement Question...

    As far as I know only the 450 had that front end with the 274mm disk. It's good for spares though as any of the post 1980 dual brake models use that disk. You can also fit the twinpot mod single sided to that fork, it's been done before (even using that 295mm disk you just bought but it's not...

    When I moved here California was normal so I just assumed it was the same everywhere. I just didn’t compute that it would be a “thing”. First time I went to NV it was a bit of a shock!:rolleyes:

    Craigslist derelict, 1K & as usual 'no title' - 78 GS1000E

    You can’t get it titled/registered without taking it there if it’s out of the system as they have to look at the VIN etc numbers so that part makes sense at least… :)

    Digital Gauges Guinea Pig.

    I did one on the 750. It was a pain but not too bad once I got it sorted. Tach was the hardest bit so if they are using cables & sort that out maybe it's a winner... Mine was a Koso

    Intermittent overflow

    Yeah there is something better... I had them in the 1100 & they worked great. Very similar problem to you in fact. Was recommended on here somewhere. Cheaper than OEM & available. I will try to figure out what they were!

    '79 750 Fork Oil Level

    20w is too much unless you weight 500lbs & have very stiff springs fitted.... 10w is about right for most, sometimes even 5w or 7.5w if you fit cartridge emulators. :)

    GS1000 "retromod" build questions

    There's definitely been one or two similar to this done before... plenty of info on here. My 750 build used GSXR parts but I went for the older setup which is longer. Some have used a step triple from (I think) a Honda to gain a bit more length :)

    Interesting bikes at the Handbuilt Show in San Pedro

    I went to that same show in Austin when I was at the COTA MotoGP. Some of it was interesting, not much there that I'd want to ride though! :D

    Wireless Electric Guitar Question

    There's usually a bunch of stuff on 2.4. Wireless mice, keyboards, smarthome stuff etc. You'd be pretty unlucky to have a conflict & if you did you could likely change the WIFI channel at the router & it would sort it out.

    GS850G Won't Start, Electrical Issue, No Spark

    Pretty common that an overcharging event like this would fry the igniter..... :) Headlight bulb blowing is usually the first obvious sign.
