    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.

    Anyone want a BIG Kerker baffle ?

    I think mine is the smallest baffle, measures 1.5" diameter. Anyone have measurements for the different ones?

    Welcome, glad to see more MI people. Looks like a clean bike, offer $500. The second generation 750 isn't as desirable of the 750's. But still a good bike.

    1978 GS1000 Skunk Rebuild and Mods

    I've been following your buld. Have it bookmarked for reference when I start the restomodification of my skunk. My tank has pin hole leaks and I'm convinced to try the caswell kit. I was going to try brazing it. The bike looks great. Motivating me to get cracking on mine.

    New to the bobber Scene

    You seem mechanically able, so download the service manuals from Bass cliff's site. Use the wiring diagram to hotwire the ignition and clutch switch. take the carbs off and try to crank it off ether.

    I bought a 83 750 2 years ago that had sat dormant since 85. I put some fresh oil in it. Turned it over a couple times with the coils disconnected to prime it. Hooked it to the battery jumper and she fired off. Ran like a charm. Its hard to kill these motors, try to fire it and see what it needs.

    pros and cons of painting engines

    black absorbs heat first, but it also dissipates heat the quickest on the color spectrum if you want to get all scientific.

    '85 gs550 Ignitor Issues

    I have found that sellers will send a pre ship form to shippers, which gives them a track number to give to buyers. Its how they get around the whole, shipped in a certain amount of days requirement. sucks

    Fuse blowing during pre-ignition

    i take back my previous post, that is fried :o. I have a stock 550 r/r i believe. You will be better to upgrade to a better r/r and be greatful that this didn't blow your ignitor. http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?t=134690

    Fuse blowing during pre-ignition

    , not sure what that gunk is though. The locking tab is broken on it, can you wiggle the connector at all. Grasp is firmly and wiggle.
