    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.

    How do YOU jump start an old GS?

    I'll do all this but I'm more inclined to believe that my starter motor is the problem and probably has been all along. All these years and I didn't even know this was even a thing? Can you point me in the direction of a "how to" or just a guide for what is entailed with reconning my starter...

    How do YOU jump start an old GS?

    i've been here way longer than 3 years. A few times, I'd just be stalking for extended periods and they'd cancel my account for not signing in. I didn't even realize I wasn't signed in - so I'd have to make a new account. I think they quit doing that. I installed leads for the trickle charger...

    How do YOU jump start an old GS?

    1981 GS750EX: Taking it out of winter mothballs today, battery was stored indoors, and is "good" reading 12.6 volts on the multi-meter -- but it's just not enough to crank this hard-to-crank old beast for more than 1 or 2 seconds. This is quite typical and what I usually do is give a push...

    New Handle bars, new issue!

    Shorten that throttle cable. Cut the spaghetti and solder a new barrel on there. DIY: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-gY27LTU2c :cool:

    Speedo cable routing

    That's what happens when you switch the stock handlebars to one's with a lower rise but keep the stock throttle cable. I know, because my bike suffered from this phenomenon for nearly 10 years before I got around to shortening the cable. The throttle cable/spaghetti is too long. :cool:

    Possible petcock fix?

    You King> you didn't happen to take any pics, did you? I need to do this to my '81. I've owned this bike for 39 years and NEVER liked the vacuum setup. I've never rebuilt or replaced the diagram either, so it sounds like an accident waiting to happen. Could be my imagination too but it seems...
