    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.

    1980 GS450E start button internals

    Mine is a different layout. I know there is supposed to be a spring in there somewhere.

    1980 GS450E start button internals

    I'd like to follow up on this post and see if anyone has a picture of exactly how this goes together with the black button / copper disk / spring / contact points. My spring is gone and I have no clue what it is supposed to look like or exactly how it is supposed to go together. Like all old...

    1981 GS550 - Bogging at WOT and I'm stumped.

    The missing rubber plugs in the jets was the problem. Test ride over lunch today confirmed it. THANK YOU!! I have been playing the game of replacing things on this bike chasing this down for well over a year.

    1981 GS550 - Bogging at WOT and I'm stumped.

    This is the first worthwhile lead I've had on this in over a year and would explain everything. I don't remember the kits having any plugs in them, but it is very possible I just didn't know what they were for. It didn't have plugs in it when I got the bike so I just assumed that was normal...

    1981 GS550 - Bogging at WOT and I'm stumped.

    Correct. When I ran it without the intake boots on, the slides do stay up while it is bogging and the RPMs drop. I confirmed that they are the correct diaphragm springs. I even added spacers on top of the slide to increase spring pressure and that made no difference. ​

    1981 GS550 - Bogging at WOT and I'm stumped.

    Correct. In neutral or on the center stand in gear it starts and appears to run just fine. When you actually "ride" it, or run in gear on the center stand and bold the rear brake, then it does "the thing" and won't go past 6000 rpm at all, just bogs until you let off the throttle. Even if the...
