    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.

    I've got the itch

    I did a solo ride last summer from Indianapolis thru Illinois, northeast Iowa and up into Wisconsin. Took it easy, stayed in motels along the way but meandered along when and where I wanted. Was gone for 7 days. Met interesting people along the way. Tried to eat at Mom and Pop local restaurants...

    My Blue Ridge Parkway Ride 2016

    Scott, I'm sorry for your rough go but very happy to hear that it wasn't worse. I've made that mistake before on one of my previous GS's but lucked out and didn't go down. Heal up and get the bike ready for the spring trip. That is a trip that I've wanted to make as well on the Blue Ridge. Bob

    The "Adventure" Begins...............

    Great Stuff! Great Stuff! Hey Tim. I really enjoyed the pictures of Utah and Colorado. We lived in Utah for 18 years and that is where I had my first Suzuki GS. So, brought back a lot of terrific memories. That red rock country in Southern Utah is indeed spectacular. I spent a great deal of...

    Cleaning the tank

    Evapo-rust Evapo-rust I went with the Evapo-rust when I cleaned out the tank on my 1100E. It was about $25/gallon but I only bought 2 gallons and rotated the tank every few hours. Then rinse with water followed by alcohol to dry. The tank looks great and the solution can be used again for...

    tank cleaning

    I just got finished cleaning out the tank on my 1100E. It had quite a bit of rust inside. I used 2 gallons of Evapo-rust. I let it sit for 1 day in the regular position, then turned it on each side for about 12 hours. Next I drained it, rinsed it with water, then sloshed some rubbing alcohol...

    GS850G gas tank

    I've been looking at rust treatments for my 1100e and come across a couple that I think might be effective. One is called Evapo-Rust and cost about $20.00 per gallon. Could probably get by with a couple of gallons and keep rotating the tank. The other is called Rusteco and looks to be about in...

    umm, really stupid question...

    Don't use both hands on the handlebars to pull it back. I use my left hand on the handlebar grip to steady the bike. The leaverage comes from putting all of your weight on the arm on the center stand and using your right hand on the handle toward the rear of the bike. Lift up and back with that...
