    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.

    Last day in the Ozarks today so I thought I would support the local economy. Skipped the hotel breakfast for the local neighborhood store. IMG_20220920_090420763 by Larry Alkire, on Flickr

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    I just got back from a small ride on the famous hwy 7 from Harrison to Jasper prior to sunset (this is Arkansas) and learned a good lesson about riding with proper gear. My jacket got some blood splatter on the white, of course, but the face shield took a big hit right between my eyes. It was...

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    There!!! Finally. That water was just begging for me take a big drink of it. Probably would have been ok but was just told about the town of Piedmont having tested positive for ecoli the previous day. I would think the creek water was probably good.

    Ron (1978750E) and I stopped for the best BBQ in Missouri, imho. ​​​IMG_20220917_130323808_HDR by Larry Alkire, on Flickr​IMG_20220917_130313020_HDR by Larry Alkire, on Flickr we also witnessed a bald eagle snacking on the remains of an armadillo. Couldn't get a pic of that. Then we stopped at...

    1985 GS550ESF Speedometer Inaccurate

    My 1000E is off by 8 mph only the opposite of yours. Indicated 80 is actually 72. So to see triple digits, which I like doing , I need to see 108+ on my speedo. Maybe we should park our bikes in a locked garage for a few days and see if they can arrive at a happy medium. I am not suggesting...

    Pic of the week game

    Frustration huh? Man, I've had so many of these over the years, all motorcycle related, it would be impossible to choose just one. So I will pass. Not good at picture taking anyway.

    Brakes not building pressure

    Did you make sure that tiny hole in the m/c was clear and did you poke a very small wire through it to be sure? It has something to do with the returning fluid to the m/c (I think). But anyway, there are two holes in the master. One is a very tiny hole as opposed to the slightly larger one...

    82 GS1100E Mr Turbo Rebuild

    With BaT, don't you set a reserve price? I think you do and then wait for BaT to set up contact info between you and the highest bidder. Don't let it go too low. Just a suggestion.

    Can't get her to idle without choke

    When you say you have rebuilt with kits......that makes me skeptical because we do not use kits in these carbs, just new o-rings. Did you soak each carb (completely broken down) in Berryman's carb dip for 24 hours each? And then did you run small wires through each and every passage? Followed...

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

    I failed to report back my findings after getting my bike back on the road. I am super satisfied with the results after putting it all back together. To date I have put on almost 3,000 miles and I can tell you that EVERY TIME I stop, for stop signs, or just sitting in traffic my tach shows...

    Help Diagnosing Charging Issue

    I'll chime in with what little I know. When my stator went out, I did all the tests that are required and especially I found the leg to ground voltage test which should show 0, mine was showing 31, 28 and I didn't even bother to test the 3rd one because I knew from the 1st 2 that it was done...
