    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.

    Selling question?

    Thanks everyone. I appreciate it. If my nephew doesn't want it then I'll go from there.

    Selling question?

    Thanks. I know the bike needs fork seals, new tires, carbs cleaned and synced and then any other items like brake lines/hoses that still function but would need replaced due to age I'm sure and it hasn't been started in three years. I'm not sure that qualifies as road ready I guess.

    Selling question?

    So I inherited this GS and due to my balance not being great anymore and some upcoming medical bills for my wife I think I'm just going to try and sell it. It's just taking up garage space and we could use the money. It was running when I got it, but that's been a couple years ago. All I did was...

    Thanks Larry. I’ve owned new bikes before years ago, so basic maintenance, but I’m not a mechanic so any help and advice is surely appreciated. I figure this bike didn’t cost me a dime so it’ll be worth it to learn on since I do know that it was running and all. Pulling all the pdfs off of...

    You think just let the tank dry and call it good?

    Nessism OK, I'm finally getting around to doing anything. Messed my back up late June and have been out of commission. Since this will probably be an all winter project I could use some guidance on order of operations. My thinking is that the oil hasn't been change in years (the filter probably...

    Yep. It’s in decent shape. The fuel tank looks OK as far as I can tell. Still got 1/2 tank of fuel I need to drain, but I didn’t see any obvious rust. Need a scope to probably see for sure I’d guess. I appreciate the heads up on the JIS screwdrivers!

    Thanks for the heads up on the settings. It's gonna be a project for sure. Most likely a yearlong project at least. Plus, we don't have any shops within 100+ miles of us, so I either learn to fix it or sell it.

    Hi y'all. I inherited a 1982 GS850L from my father recently (he's still alive, but can't ride anymore). It's been sitting for several years, but he was riding it short distances several times a week before that. I'm sure it was just parked and that was it. I've owned new bikes in the past so my...
