    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.

    GS500 electronic ignition into GS400/425?

    Have you looked at these? They quietly have quite a good reputation I believe but I haven't tried one personally.... https://ignitech.cz/en/vyrobky :)

    Clicking and not turning over

    What about with the plugs removed? What about if you put it in gear & "bump" the engine a bit & then try again? Maybe the motor is not getting full torque as well... Either connections as suggested above or the motor is worn out / dirty / worn out commutator :)

    Front brake pad replacements

    It's something easy to try at least! :) Good luck! I doubt the reservoir (container) could have anything to do with this as all the "action" is happening below the bottom of the reservoir. Even if it was leaking air at that point it would presumably just come to the surface in the reservoir and...

    Front brake pad replacements

    You should check the bleeders. I have seen where the air bleeders will allow air back into the caliper & cause a situation like you describe. It was undetectable by eye, smell, feel etc. No fluid coming out. One of the members on here (TomMLC) and myself chased that one for ages when he did a...

    Huge Nascar question

    Yes, Norris winning was good. :) It may help when the cars get smaller but I don't think so. The smaller formulas had no better luck than F1 really and they are a lot smaller & slower than F1 cars will be in 2026. Verstappen said in his post race that he thinks an F1 car could "just about"...

    Huge Nascar question

    You forgot the "Dramatic Spin and run along the infield for a bit" section and the "touch the wall" and "rub another car" instructions. Got to get some excitement in there somewhere! (F1 Monaco is just as bad - Instructions 1. Follow car in front 2. The end..) ;)

    2025 Brown County GS Rally - June 19 - 22

    Have fun and ride safe (and shift a lot...) all of yous :D

    Brake Rotor Compatibility

    Yeah, I'd run it. You can't turn these rotors anyway, you have to find someone to set them up & grind them flat... Not easy! :)

    Newbie through and through

    Do you get good voltage at the coils? Clean up all the connectors in the loom (especially the ignition switch and fuse box) and/or fit a relay. There are some write ups on that on here. You are going to want to replace the RR as well. Very well known weak spot. K&N or APE pods are what you want...

    '83 550: Leaking Fuel, Can't Idle

    My first try would be to put a high dose of SeaFoam in the tank and run it... see if you can cure it that way. My guess is that you have blocked passages in the carb and/or one of the float valves is stuck or something, They will be due a clean & O-ring replacement if you haven't done so...

    Go practice with Grimly... Ireland's not that big! You probably live next door to each other ;) :D

    2001 Toyota Camry - Anyone familiar with these?

    My friend had one from about that era... he donated it. They fixed it up (to get it smogged) and moved it on for about 5 grand or something. It was probably a couple years newer & a bit less miles but not pretty as it had lived in the Wet/snow followed by the sun by the beach all it's life. All...

    Wobble at low speeds

    That could do it... also make sure you "settle" the forks by bouncing them after securing the top bolts before you do up the lowers. :)

    Steering stem removal and replacement

    Did you inspect the bearings? When you loosened it off & messed with it & then tightened you may well have moved the bearing relative to the race so now you're on a "fresh" bit (because the bearing doesn't fully rotate). My guess is your bearing is rusty or breaking down. :)

    Slate Truck

    I was looking at these the other day. I don't see why it wouldn't work. The trick is they need to trendy as well as cheap.... I suspect a lot of kids (and me) would rather drive one of these than a Chevy Bolt... ;) The Maverick has been incredibly popular... I don't see why this wouldn't fly if...

    brake to drag the wheel

    Looks pretty normal from here... :)

    Steering stem removal and replacement

    Yes is the answer to that question... you just need the right size. There was a guy on here making the tool at one point but I don't know what happened to him.

    Brakes, front tire, chain

    It's in the bottom of the MC reservoir. You can only see it when you pull the lever. If those lines are stock they will be all rubber & have white writing on them with a date. You'll be surprised how much jelly like fluid/crud will be closing up the lines & stuck behind the pistons! :) There...
