    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.

This should probably be in the "Tips and Tricks" section but I know a lot more people check this one out on a regular basis. If you need a little screwdriver for adjusting your air screws, a sewing machine screwdriver works great. I have 2...one is from Singer; it's very good.

The other is from Viking...and it's absolutely perfect. It's easy to hold with 2 fingers and because of the shape of the handle, you can tell how far it's been turned.\\:D/
 
Idle screws? how important to performance

Idle screws? how important to performance

I have a 80 gs1000g I took it to a so called bike mech and he totally screwed up the carbs. He stripped one of my air/fuel mix screws and I ended up trying to drill it out. Is it possible to get the bike running good without changing that carb body? Or does that have to be changed to get good top end performance?
 
Air

Air

As I'm sure you know, the air mixture is pretty important and can make a lot of difference. You might get lucky and get it set up right...it would be worth a try. If it doesn't work out, you can easily find a replacement carb body on Ebay and make the substitute.

By the way, I used to live in Oregon City...very nice town!:-D
