    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.

    What do I lube the splines with? GS1000G

    If you have a BMW dealer nearby, ask them for the same stuff that they lube the clutch splines on old airheads with. That will work fine.

    2nd Vin Number location

    Looks like you found something that will work. I was thinking a trophy shop could engrave a label for you that would even have an adhesive back. I have a friend that did that for a home-made trailer so he could get a tag.

    differences between exhausts on a GS1000E and a GS1000G

    I had an E system on my G. The only issue was I couldn't use the heat shield on the right side. It interfered with the brake pedal. Mounted in the same mounting holes. Buddy

    Swapping a rear disc to rear drum on a 1000G {going to wire wheels} big difference?

    I have a set of Madura wheels. They are wider in the hubs than GS wheels. They would be very difficult to adapt. Buddy

    Another mystery part

    First bike, First project.

    The pilots (if you're talking about the mixture screws) should not be snug. 2 turns out should get you started. Then fine tune for highest idle from there. 81 would have had electronic ignition from the factory. No oil in the right side front cover. I have a seat from an 82 GS850GL that should...

    2000 bmw r1100rt

    I have an 03 R1150RT and really like it. Betting you'll like that 1100 also. The PO of mine used Amsoil 20W50 so I'm sticking with that for now but would run non-synthetic otherwise. I would go with a 20W50 in our southeastern climate though. I tried a set of Continentals on mine and found...
