    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.

    GS100OG seat lock disassembly

    Yes, at the base of the lock barrel. I think there is 2 crimps where the wafer is locked in. Look here. https://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?205197-Re-Keying-Seat-Lock-barrel

    GS100OG seat lock disassembly

    Inside the rear of the housing there should be a crimp holding a wafer in. That wafer when removed will allow the lock barrel to be removed. The wafer can be replaced and held in with some epoxy or chemical metal. I have re keyed a few gs1000 seat locks that way.

    Breather Location when running K&N Pods

    On my latest GS1000 it has Ramair foam filters. On the end of the breather pipe I put a plastic T piece and a hole in insides of filters. The T ends are pushed into foam and any fumes from breather will get sucked into engine and reburned, hopefully.

    My question is what did the front fender come from? Not to sure to be exact, I think Yamaha. It was not a straightforward fit, a little welding and slotting mount holes. I think it fits ok.

    Nothing wrong with Cometic gaskets, I've had them on my GS1000/1085 for years. Just a check on head nut torque annually.
