    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.

I have a gs850 1982. Bled the back brake and things went great.
Started to bleed the front and when I pulled on the lever (to pump brakes)brake fluid actually squirted up and out of the reservoir. There was still fluid in the reservoir, so I topped it off and put back the lid to rethink this.
 
They do that, when the piston first starts to move. Usually the lid is on or the fluid in the reservoir is too deep, so it's not a problem.

Go easy on the lever at first.
 
Thanx, I will move on. Can't believe how fast the answers come. Did I buy the right bike or what.

Yep, you got the right bike. Of course, I'm a little biased....:D
