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.

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.

    A little whine with your ride sir?

    I'd start by looking for loose bolts and (or) play in the drive shaft's u-joints.

    Bicycling from CA. to MI. to pick up my 1982' GS450T then drive it back to CA.

    What sorts of things do you have left to repair on the bike? I'm about 35~40 minutes north of you. I have a trailer, ramps, and a fair amount of tools. The problem for me is, I just promised to fill in part time for my old boss starting this afternoon. I can trailer it to my place if you need...

    SuperTech lubricants MSDS

    Find an oil that doesn't sludge up the valve train area - pcv ect. and call it good. I personally use Mobil 1 in both cars along with quality Wix and Bosch filters and change the oil at 6,000 miles. I buy the oil on sale and when there is a rebate. It satisfies my need to be frugal and use...

    SuperTech lubricants MSDS

    http://msds.walmartstores.com/ SuperTech lubricants appear to be mostly Citgo products now. (They used to be Warren Performance Products?) I found this info when researching yellow metal safe gear oils to replace an obsolete GL-1 spec. Just put in SuperTech in the product name tab and smack...

    decompression valve

    I based my comment off the above information. If it were me I would pull the cam and have a look at it. NOTE*** the inner shaft MAY have the ability to be assembled two different ways. The incorrect way allows for it to work exactly opposite as intended. Pay attention to the orientation of the...

    If you DO get into trouble with it upon arrival let me know. I'm about 40 or so minutes from St Clair Shores

    decompression valve

    Inside the exhaust cam is another shaft which when rotated raises a plunger. At very low rpm's, this extended plunger causes the cam follower (in most cases) to be lifted above the base circle which in turn lifts the exhaust valve off it seat slightly. The leakage created by holding the valve...

    1977 Kawasaki KH400 $4000

    In my opinion the H1 was a fairly civil running bike. The wire spoked wheels and brake system on them was an entirely different matter. A hopped up H2 on the other hand made for what I would characterize as a very uncivilized ride even after being converted to dual disc brakes up front.

    1978 gs1000 gas tank

    They are a rare bird to find especially one in decent shape. The 79 GS1000 base and E variants are the exact same tank minus the indent.

    1978 GS1000 in Switzerland

    That is a fine looking ride you have got there. GS1000H model correct?

    Looks like my riding days are done.

    Sorry to hear that Greg. You are smart to keep one around just in case. Sometimes life just gets too busy and things get put on the back burner. I've decided to sell off three of mine and pare down to just the Skunk. In the end that's all I'll need anyway.

    Main electrical help wanted

    Clarification... Does anything light up/work when the key is in the on position? Does the bike crank? If it doesn't, have you tried jumping across the starter solenoid with a screwdriver to see if it will crank?
