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.

    Wireless Electric Guitar Question

    Is the Amp link digitizing the analog output of the guitar? I can't imagine the bandwith use being high for an audio signal. Your link states the device is 5.8 ghz btw. depending on the modem you may be able to switch channels to something different than the Amp device. there's phone and tab...

    The misrepresentation of a Ford being hauled backwards in a video let's you know it was designed for poseur douchebags. saw one yesterday and one wrapped in black. Hideous Logan's run meets El Camino.

    1984 GSX550ES project

    You have a slight chance of getting junk. Ask seller for pics with bowls off if not in listing. I have 3 sets 2 from eBay were perfect less the 40 yr old rubber diaphragms perfect too. the current listings are madly overpriced, its easier and cheaper to set up a notification and brood...

    1983 GS550E: The Scenic Route

    You can see the weephole on the pic I posted a 250 used what looks like a nearly identical unit but in gold paint so a different part number. the plunger looks to be held in with just a circlip. the upper and lower parts must have a gasket?

    1983 GS550E: The Scenic Route

    Its unique to the mid 80s 550 es But I'm sure fat new o rings will fix it. if it was the brake fluid side leaking the paint would be damaged most likely I wonder is the fork side of piston looks like. if it can be readily removed show us a pc.

    1983 GS550E: The Scenic Route

    Unless you dud a super job of cleansing the fork innerds the color change is nothing. Did forks once upon a time and the springs held a lot of blackish Grey residue. Teflon from bushings and ash or water emulsion??? Use the old atf plus motor oil recipe and use that till fixed.

    Weak idle until hot

    Sucking air till heat expands parts and seals. unless your clutch has adjusted itself by means of cable stretch. or the oils viscosity rating across Temps is some odd variable. Check Pennzoil site for specs. Iirc only two Temps are test points so........ clutch us easy to check use the fine...

    Psyching myself up for the top end - any veteran eyes up to read borescope pictures?

    One piston top looks eroded possibly preignition? the oil will stop leaking when you replace the gaskets.

    Replacement tank for GSX550ES?

    Well perhaps you could Cobble something together. likely only the lever length and float varies model to model you could just get the parts needed to cover the hole. as for petcock try k&l or oem if still available.

    79' GS550 Will run on starter fluid but die after a few seconds

    Run an auxiliary tank to rule out tank and petcock. Do so with new fuel line. Plug petcock vacuum line or clamp it. what jets might you have modified. The jet needle should be the only thing adjustable by clip move if so equipped. Maybe you tweaked the float tangs? regardless if it runs fine...
