    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.

    A thread chaser is used for cleaning threads, a tap is used for 'making threads' I learned this the hard way.

    How to avoid breaking fuel screw tips when setting fuel screws to 1 turn out?

    I take an old one, remove the tip and screw it in to clean the threads... after a couple broken tips and junk carbs, it's obvious why I do this

    and then we look at the needles, stuck in place. Slides have three holes in the bottom. Stuck in the wrong hole. I actually started this engine like this and then wondered why fuel was spewing out backwards. Lift the slide and didn't notice the needle... ah ummm...

    Aftermarket Ignition fitted to GS650

    Some of us run a 12v relay so battery power can be supplied directly to the coils/ignition, bypassing the original wiring harness. Use the original 12v source for the relay switch wire. That Dyna ignition sucks the power... ask me how I know. Add 3 ohm coils and who let the smoke out... There...
