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.

This is probley the last update on this little project. The bike seems to have an electrical issue. I can ride for 8-10 miles and the engine quits. Runs really good during those miles but I still have to coast down the mountain to home. Seems to be heat related cause once I get home, the motor is cooled and it starts right up. Leaks. It leaks motor oil from the cam cover, the head gasket, the cyl base gasket, cam chain tensioner, oil pressure sending unit, ( really bad from there 
), theres even gear lube seeping from the final drive. The seals and gaskets have just dried up and failed. There is currently a differance of opinion between John and myself concerning reimbursment for my time and efforts. He seems to think I owe him for a fence I built for him a decade ago. (Thats another long sad tale in itself.) So I've cleaned it up, drained the fuel from the tank and carbs and put it somewhere safe and dry until John comes to get it. :roll:
Next is a 81 Yamaha TT500 I found in a barn. This long weekend I hope to have it checked out and at least cleaned up. Let me know if you want to hear of it.
Thanks GSResources! I'm glad I found you!

Re: Update on the 850L
How does somebody "forget" about a bike they bought brand new and only put 813 miles on? More money that brains I guess! :-s

Maybe in the past, today he seems to be a resentful old fart, nothing to good to say. Too many years out in the north desert by himself maybe?

The owner picked up the 850 today.
Paid me a total of $2.23 for my time and efforts.
He filled the tank with fuel and at the same time told me he was taking it to storage locker. I did remind him that if its more than 3-4 weeks he needed to drain both the tank and carbs.
"yea", was his response.
What a waste...
