    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.

Me and my fiance went on a ride as we came to a stop light the lower end started making a banging noise but the bike still was running pulled off to the side and shut it off than turned it back on and it was very loudly banging than it died than it wouldn't turn over at all like engine was stuck.the sound was loudest on the side with the starter and stator.I really hope this isn't the end of my 1982 suzuki gs1100ez. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
Starter clutch bolts may have backed out and are jammed against the cases. Pull the stator cover and see if the clutch ( behind the rotor ) is flopping around.

Hopefully they didnt puncture the cases.
