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.

  • 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.

    I'm tired...

    +1 on the Sport Demons...our sources north of the border are not going to be a great option for you right now, but Motorcycle Superstore (now JP Cycles) used to be my goto for the best deals when I was buying tires on a more regular basis.

    (Please help) Which looks better?

    A loud Harley startled the hell out of my new puppy the other day. He was visibly shaking, and he's been around plenty of loud things in his socialisation period. It was far, far too loud for civilized society. I've gone back and forth on the tips, but I've settled in the All Black camp.

    Adamdaz and his GS650GLX

    That Lund is a good fishing boat, lol! Welcome to the forum. Fun project you have going. Be careful with the LEDs. Others have run into (solvable, not fatal) electrical issues going that route. Yes, the X is a model year thing, just like my 650G is a GD (D for 1983)

    Impressive crash save @ Pitt Race

    Yes, impressive save, and one that I can't imagine would easily be anticipated nor trained for.

    GS650 oil pan gasket

    Thanks for clarifying. I didn't see that link...and I agree, an insert is the better solution.

    GS650 oil pan gasket

    ' I love LMGTFY, but unless I missed it, it didn't really answer the question. The part # 14002 suggests the original is 14mm-2, or a standard coarse thread. Can anyone confirm that as correct?

    Sidecar on the T120

    what was the deciding factor on Rex Specs over another brand (e.g. Doggles)?

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    The images are still better with your MC in them, even if it IS the Harley.

    Strange fuel issue resolved

    Whiole not exactly the same thing, we had a rather clogged PCV valve on our Subaru. It gernerated enough pressure to blow out a seal before I was able to replace (it was on my to do list) I'm not surprised that it could create running problems on your G. Happy for you that it is back to being a...

    Back Into Bikes, '77 GS750 Project

    Welcome back. Where have you been hanging out? What's the meaning behind the new name? I know life in the PNW can be tough financially, but what's knocking the spirit out of you?

    NOS on a 1100? Anyone?

    Initially, so did I., then I saw the OPs member name, and figured NITROUS! More bang for your buck. Hunting ETs on the strip. What do you use the calibre for winmag4582001? Cape Buffalo? Elephant? Lion?

    New member introductory 1st post

    Waitaminit...I know you are not the first member from Macon, GA. The place must be overrun with old Suzukis, or at least old Suzuki lovers. That's a nice stable of smokers you have. I have always loved the KRR RZ350. My parents (rightfully, in retrospect) fought me tooth and nail when I...

    Stupid stupid stupid

    I think you are correct. I may have been remembering the old Carbtune II setup which was hung upside down.

    Stupid stupid stupid

    Not doubting you Ian, but I would like to confirm you hung it upside down. I made the mistake of not doing that the first time I used it

    Stupid stupid stupid

    Shoot us a picture of your Carbtune setup. I recall idle having to be quite high (~2500) to get an initial reading and as the synch got better I could bring the rpms down. It was also easier using the restrictors that came with the kit.

    Stupid stupid stupid

    I don't believe the CarbTune requires any lubrication. In fact, I think they say specifically NOT to in the manual, IIRC.

    Getting a second bike

    If I were in your position, I'd be looking for something that can be ridden straight away with zero maintenance, multi-purpose, and maybe smaller than what you have in mind. Of course, if you have frequent interstate riding in mind, then a small dual sport (think Kawasaki Super Shera or DR350SE)...

    1983 GS550ES Fuel Delivery Issue

    Don't, just don't...most shops do not have the time or inclination to put the required work into your bike.

    1983 GS550ES Fuel Delivery Issue

    I'm surprised this didn't come up earlier in the thread. It's usually point #1 in cases where bikes have come from a previous owner (PO). You'd think that the carbs would be pristine, not having been run in that long, but only if they were empty of gas before it sat. It's a great idea to run...

    1983 GS550ES Fuel Delivery Issue

    I spent countless hours searching for a new petcock with the exact configuration needed for the '83. The little fuel door is not compatible with the petcocks that were used in the '84 and later...
