  • 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.

    Krauser Saddlebags

    I had those on a previous GS1000 and firstly the bags sat much more hortizontal and the bracket did in fact attach to the license plate holder. Short stubby aftermarket signals will fit where you're pointing. If you could drop the rear of the bags would that get you closer to attaching to to the...

    Paul Brodie's Shop

    Thanks Ed, had no idea who he actually was. Brother in law brought a Brodie Mtn some 30 years ago and one of our Mtb trails is called Brodie. Used to hang out a lot at Westwood in the '70s but moved way in '79. I don't remember him from there. A guy I street rode with where a live now raced Pro...

    VOIP service help needed

    Question them about how your home address is connected to 911. Land line automatically displays your address to 911 operators so in an emergency if you call 911 and hangup someone will show up. This has to be specially configured once you go to VOIP. VOIP also won't work during a power or...

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    Got out for my usual fall shake down ride before putting the bike to bed for the winter. Insurance expires soon and highs next week are just above freezing. Bummer that fall colours are about 2 weeks late this year. 20251008_152751.jpg by soates50, on Flickr

    Oil contamination

    If there is a leak between the cylinder and coolant passages causing low compression you might see some fouling of the spark plugs but more than likely you would see combustion gases forcing their way into the coolant passages (combustion pressure is much higher than coolant pressure) which...

    seat step?

    Mine had that done by the original owner. The standard GS1000 came with a flat seat like the "S" did in '79. After the foam was cut the cover was just wrapped under and fastened with the tabs under the seat and doesn't show any wrinkles. What they're using for vinyl on the aftermarket seat may...

    Dual Sport riding in the Kootenays BC

    Really cool trip Trevor. I was up Buchanan in June with the truck when we spent a few days in Kalso pre-tourist gong show. Beautiful spot. Glad you're up here enjoying my backyard (yeah, I got a pretty big yard) rather than you know where. Lol.

    Intermittent overflow

    Did check that they're not binding on the float bowl? Give carbs a shake after installing the bowl and you should have a nice crisp rattle from the floats.

    What's it like....

    150ish on my FZ750, 160ish on an FZR1000. Mostly on local backroads. Many years ago and didn't seem like that big of a deal. No traffic, no cops. It’s just what we did for entertainment. Now I look back and say to myself WTF were you thinking you idiot.

    Significant setback for self-driving vehicles

    Telsas are not considered fully self driving cars and never have been. There in lays the problem of people thinking they are. Sorry, it’s a fact, not a left wing conspiracy.

    Anti freeze and boots.

    If you have patience, lots of patience, I used Simonized Vinyl Protectant. Only problem was it took about 3 - 4 months over a winter. This was about 20 years ago and mine where deformed and hard as a rock. I assembled the carbs, airbox and cylinder boots on the workbench and over the winter as...

    Computer Help

    I think what's probably on the back of the PC are actually Display Port not HDMI. You'll need a Display Port to HDMI cable. Pretty common. Full size Display Port, not mini Display Port.

    Did Europe have a 1988 GSX1100es?

    Yes it is an 83, also in the super rare black and red. I've only ever seen one that colour and that was in the local dealer showroom. There could be some confusion in the fact that what we called the 1150 here was still labeled 1100 in Europe and yes they has the E model as well as ES and EF but...
