    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 have a '83 GS1100L with a bad starter motor. The cover has been removed. I need advice on how to get the starter out. Are there bolts that I don't see that need to come out before I can get the starter out? Thx.IMG_1486.jpg
 
There should be two screws in the rear feet of the starter motor remove those and pull the motor back to release it from the front housing you might want to renew the oring to stop any oil leaks in the future.
 
Yep, pretty easy. Once you put it back in, you can use a drift pin through the hole in the starter down into the threaded holes to help ease it in and line up the holes for the bolts.
