    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.

    Hot Start Problem

    Took the bike out on Sat, started fine from cold. Drove into town, stopped at bank, wouldn't restart, barely turns over, till it cooled down, 20mins maybe, starts right up. Never did this before. Any ideas as to the cause, and how I can test for the problem? Thanks 82 Kat 1100

    Hey Dan Re your brake kit. The lower mount/hole on the fork leg , does it get a nut on the inside? It's not a threaded hole. Wish the pics on page 1 were still there. Thanks

    Can the 16" wheel be changed out fairly easily? I changed the clip ons , on my Katana, to a higher/adjustable type, much better. Do they have the anti dive units on fork legs?
