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.

    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.

    '79 GS1000E project start

    You might try wheel bearing grease on gaskets during assembly let's the parts squirm during warm up and makes it easy to get the gaskets off next time. Learned that from an old P 51 mechanic.

    1980 GS1000ET back from the dead.....I hope.

    I found when it was time to recondition my 1980 GS1000E's m/cyl that there was pitting in the bore. Being that these are made of unobtainium I chose to have the original m/cyl sleeved. A shop here in the states bored it oversize which with the sleeve brought it back to standard bore...
