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.

    That's a really nice looking Yam you have there. You should keep it. One day these classics will be really hard to find in good condition. I am "sorta" looking for a 450(ish) to add to the stable. The wife likes to ride once in a while, but the 650L is just a bit too heavy for her to enjoy...

    Seat improvement

    I have to say, chemically it makes a lot of sense. Apply, let it sit for a few days, then wash it off with soap and water. I would think a conditioner after that process. I have the same seat, same bike, same condition. I may try this out. Can't see it making it worse...

    You will find more than enough help and knowledge here for that monster. There are plenty of people here that have had, and have them. It really is just a cross between a GS, and a GSXR. Plenty of us here have GSXR's and know that engine quite well. To bad about that tank. Rough repair...

    I know it. I'm up near Knox. Not too far from you. We typically have a rally in June down in Brown county. It's a little iffy this year with all the joy happening in the world right now. You can find details about this rally in the "Meeting place" section of the forum. There are a lot of...

    Very nice example you have there. Love the color. What part of Indiana are you? Welcome to the site!

    So, are we looking for wrecked bikes, or just broken?

    Haven't been on much this week. Thought I would pop in and vote. Bad choice. Tough call this week... Think I have to go with Rich82GS750TZ this week. Nice shot, and looks like a great place to take a ride.

    Ya know? I seldom check in here before going for a ride. Commonly when I do, the winner is late with a theme, LOL.. Story of my life... Hope everyone is safe and healthy!

    What do you use for final polish out on clearcoat?

    This is really great stuff. I use a 6" variable speed DA buffer. Unbelievable shine, and protection system. Even brings old crappy paint back to new. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P67GSRG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    GS550 won't rev past 6000 RPM

    I'm still sticking to the bad ground theory. My bet is needle adjustment for your stumble. You shouldn't have to remove carbs to get at your needle. Though you aren't exactly a stock bike anymore, so maybe you do... I would think that one notch / washer isn't high enough for pods and a pipe...

    GS550 won't rev past 6000 RPM

    I have seen coils with a bad ground spark one cylinder stronger than the other on the same coil. I really don't know the technical reason why. Just know it can happen. I have also had an after market tach (in a car) short out the coil. Car wouldn't start, pulled the tach lead off the coil...

    GS550 won't rev past 6000 RPM

    I think you have 2 separate problems going on here. First, It looks like you are too lean on the main jet. Second, I would make sure your 2-3 coil is properly grounded. May as well be sure the other one is too while your under there. Plug 2 looking ok, while 3 looks like it isn't firing...

    Building a motorcycle in the parking lot of The Rosemont. Brown County Rally 2016. I know it's been used here, but it's all I've got. I used to have many pictures from the couple of rallies I've been to, but have been lost over the years switching phones I guess...

    GS1000S Rendering

    I REALLY like that. Let's be real here, the U.S. model will have a MUCH more hideous muffler than that on it, LOL. Slip-on replacement for sure. If they really do this, they should bring back the skunk too. In all of the vintage color schemes too...

    Wont go over 5000rpm

    It is not (money) expensive for the parts you need to re-jet your carbs. It will cost a lot of hair, and even more frustration to get them dialed in correctly with the pod filters. ESPECIALLY if you don't know what you're doing. The best, easiest, and smartest thing to do, is to put the...
