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.

    GS 850 wont start

    When I first got the gs 850 going it went ok, then I did the rebuild & at the same time I found out that you need some weather seal on the air filter holder, it went better, then I remembered I'd put some tape on the drain holes of the air box, I took them off & it's like I'd put a turbo on it...

    Gs850g

    I'm not going to remove the outer panel, I'll just use a piece of garden hose to make installing the spark plug easier, with the choke plunger I put an 0 ring between the washet on the shaft & the housing that screws into the carb body.

    Gs850g

    When I put the carby's together I added an 0 ring in the choke plunger between the washer & the screw in housing. ls there any need for the outer panel on the cam cover? So I can get the spark plug out easier.

    850 head bolt tension

    The manual says the head bolt tension is 27 ft/pd is this correct as it seems too low. Also if I put the front cam chain slider in the crankcase bottom location it takes a great effort to place it in the head location but the maual says it can not float at the bottom where it seems comfortable?
