    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.

Bad gas?

I was on a trip last weekend and got some fuel at a faming comunity in northern Alberta. Hines Creek. The gas storage tank was just a 2000 gal tank behink the single pump.

After I topped off I noticed some sudden intermittent power loss. Like, I was cruising contentedly when the power would cut out and cut in really quickly. It seemed to be worse after I stopped for a few minutes.

I'm thinking there might have been some water in the fuel. It stopped doing it now and I'm still on the same tank, although almost on reserve.

What do you think?

I'm taking the GS on a 1400km trip next month and I'm kinda nervous. Maybe I'm just paranoid.
 
If it was an ethanol based fuel that had been sitting around a while Id dump the tank and start over with some fresh gas and a little sea foam. My $.02
 
Sounds like you got it.Run another tank through it and see how she goes.I always get a little bit fuzzy leading up to a big ride(sort of like a first date),but if you've given the bike a bit of loving attention you'll have a fat old time.Cheers,Simon.\\:D/
 
I would at least run a tank of higher octane in it. I had that issue once with my Seca, and ran a tank of 93 octane in it. It cleaned it up and made it happy.
 
Thanks Guys. It must've been the fuel. I filled up at a reputable station and haven't had a repeat.
