    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.

    Pic of the week game

    Trevor, you don't have to like America to still like motorcycles! And that's what this site is really about. I could care less what country you live in, or your politics. Love of motorcycles and riding should transcend that. I've really enjoyed seeing the people, places, and motorcycles you have...

    GS850 Wiring

    One wire (black with white stripe) should go to a ground. So may have been rerouted to the battery (hopefully the negative terminal!) in a troubleshooting attempt to get it working. This should work. The other wire makes it's way up to the meter...

    GS850L Makeover

    While you're in there, better check clearances for good measure. On the gasket - that part number is for the half circle one that goes under the drain plate if the main gasket leaks. I don't see any available anywhere but I would imagine you could just cut one from some rubber sheet and would...

    GS550 BS32 carburetor vent lines

    I run mine over the airbox and through the little metal strap on the back right side of the airbox. Left side vent hose is a little longer to make it over there (over the top of airbox first then across above the "snorkel"). They both terminate right at the bottom edge of the airbox.

    Emotional Support Companions

    I used to manage 3 hotels. One time I received a box of live crickets in the mail for a guest in our extended stay hotel. I confronted them asking why they would have live insects sent to my hotel when I pay an exterminator to kill these on a regular basis. They said they were food for their...

    82 GS1100G "patina mod"

    Agreed, safety wire is likely too large. I can only get about two strands of a brass bristle brush through them when cleaning. Then carb cleaner should shoot out of the end when sprayed, more out the end than even the side holes. Might be a good idea to just order some new stock size ones if you...

    82 GS1100G "patina mod"

    I just put the carbs back on my 1100G and used two quick clamps set up as spreaders. One side on the carbs and the other against one of the mounting points for the side cover. Worked pretty well, but would have been less frustrating if I had two people to run each clamp. They fell off a couple...

    bobtail84 - Do you know if they do this mod for an 1100G? I didn't see that called out in his listing on eBay.

    Manual Petcock swap for a GS850L

    I don't think it will fit due to the CV carbs that are on the 80 model. That petcock hangs down too much.

    Concerts that mark major moments in our lives

    **Note** Don't let the "kids" read this... Oct 11, 2001 at the Xcel Energy Center in St Paul, MN. It was System of a Down, Rammstein, and Slipknot. I was only 23 and was really into all 3 bands and that genre of music at the time, but mostly went to see System of a Down. To my surprise the...

    Stator, The GSR travelling mascot.

    Rich82GS750TZ - You still interested in hosting Stator? I don't get out to ride enough for adventures with that guy. I just read through and it would be great to get this thread going again. Looks like he hasn't spent much time up that way.​
