    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Geez, those are low numbers. It is amazing it ran well. How well do these heads stand to be so poorly adjusted that the valves aren't barely seating? Will it take the seats out real quick as on "other" makes? Or are these tough old things that can take some serious neglect?

I'm concerned as to what I'll find. If these things can take some degree of abuse then its a bigger sigh of relief.

That must be the brownest bike I have ever seen. How brown can a bike be? Now I know!

Do you think it was Suzuki's answer to the Goldwing? Has that kinda look. Now that I'm discovering what great bikes these Suzuki Gs are I would much rather one of those than a Goldwing. But I like my 1100G best!

Update:
Not that anyone cares but, the compression appears to be a tad low LMAO!!!

#1=85psi, #2=80psi, #3=75psi and #4=85psi :eek:

Just a wild/crazy guess :rolleyes: but I am thinking that it just might need a severe valve shim adjustment. ;)

It will have to wait until I get back from Arizona. :(

But... considering those compression numbers. it ran great!!! :dancing:

I would bet that valve adjustment and running the p*ss out of it would bring those numbers up quite a bit don't you think?

As long as the exhaust valves weren't stuck open and burned them/cracked them,
I should be able to re-seat the valves if I have to get that far into it.
Anyhow, if I do have to go that far into it, it will be gaining some cubic cc's. ;)
