    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.

  • 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.

    Wont go over 5000rpm

    You have a lean condition. Meaning your carbs are getting too much air, and not enough fuel. You need to put bigger (likely 2 sizes bigger) main jets in them. Pilot jets up one size, and You will also need to raise your needles up a notch, possibly 2. You may be able to avoid all of that, by...

    1981 GS850G, needle jet circuit help? Bike won't rev past 3k or so

    6-Sygma jet sizing matches Mikuni original sizing. They are good kits, and come with very detailed instructions. (At least the kits I have gotten) It sounds like you have your floats set too rich, and your needle, and possibly the main, too lean. Don't try to tune your carbs until you have...

    why no self canceling signals?

    The auto canceling in most cars is mechanical in the steering column. I have to assume that we don't see digital auto canceling signals in most vehicles now, is that the systems can't be made as reliable as the mechanical systems. If the digital system stops working, usually your signals don't...

    I'm not a fan of the fairings. The '82-'83 's are such good looking bikes in stock form. If it were mine, I would get as close to stock appearance as I could. Plus, it would give you more of a "sleeper" effect. That thing is going to be a crotch rocket killer, lol. you should look into a...
