    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.

    1100ED fork rebound damping settings

    Ok Mark, this helps. If the flat spot is #4 on either side, then a clockwise turn, either side, is #1. Setting #1 will follow setting #4 that is on the flat spot with a clock wise rotating looking up from the floor.

    1100ED fork rebound damping settings

    Hmmm... This also means that 1-4 increases in a counter clockwise rotation on either side. Correct?

    1100ED fork rebound damping settings

    Mark, this is exactly the information I was looking for. I'll place a mark on the knobs for position number one and this will solve my problem. Thanks!!

    1100ED fork rebound damping settings

    The fork damping settings on my 83 1100ED, 1-4, are not shown because the knobs have been replaced and there are no markings on. The knobs rotate left or right and don't stop so I can't go to the end of adjustment and count 1-4 clicks for the settings. I'm pretty sure that settings 1-4...

    I looked, but didn't fit anything on the rear caliper. I got to thinking I saw this part appear when removing the rear tail section of the bike and found it actually goes here, on the of the rear seat latch: Now I'm seeing that this rear seat latch part should be at then end of the part...

    Finally completed the carb rebuild and took the old girl for a ride. I'd forgotten how powerful these old bikes are. This thing rips! I'll get you some pics of the front brakes and splitter when I get a minute. Do you need pics of the splitter at the top of the forks? And then pics of the...

    I think that's where the PO got the set I'm now installing. :o Thanks!

    More leaking carbs

    Was able to separate the carbs and found the fuel rail O-rings hard and cracked. I'm sure they're original. The PO gave me a new set of O-rings and they were easily installed. Also replaced the drain and choke O-rings. Once I receive the rest of the parts I'll complete the carb rebuild.

    I just read the excellent Ed Ness tutorial but it just says "Carbs can now be un-ganged". What am I missing? Or maybe they just pull apart...
