    A note to old forum members...

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.

  • 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.

    1982 850GZ tuning issue

    I'm still using my original 78 petcock I've replaced the two "rubber" parts, the disc and the O rings a few times, as well as the tank/petcock gasket As long as the vacuum part still works, there's no reason to replace this style of petcock for a street GS

    VM Pilot Air Screw Insensitivity

    The fact that you have to limit the air to achieve idle indicates that the fuel flow is clogged some where. Start by removing the fuel needles and see if their tips are broken off in the carb body. If not, work back to the pilot jet, checking the fuel flow in the carb body You did clean the...

    Chance to get the 1982 have ?s Garage find

    If you're that worried about working on the bike, owning a vintage bike may not be a good choice for you. There will be a lot of fiddly things to do on a bike that old. As for the carbs, you would be better off sending them to one of the members here who provide that service.
