    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.

Breather Screens ... or Whatever They're Called

I am restoring (finally) a GS650G and was putting the valve cover on yesterday when I realized I couldn't find the mesh metal screens filter things ... (obviously I don't know the proper name for them) that sit in the small crankcase vent area atop the valve cover. I couldn't find them in the manual either nor on a fiche for Partzilla etc. Can someone help me and tell me what the proper name for these area and where I might get replacement?
 
Or, if you want to get the real thing (and aren't afraid to spend a bit of money), feel free to look at other GS models. It's on the Cylinder Head Cover fiche. On the 850, these are the part numbers:
Separater, oil (34x110) p/n 11186-45001, $3.11 (you need two)
Separater, oil (35x68) p/n 11187-45001, $3.11 (you need two).

These are the prices from Parts Outlaw, others will be different. Parts Outlaw is currently offering a discount on flat-rate shipping, it's $4.99, instead of $9.99.

.
 
Done ... pretty reasonable shipping so I finished off my "needs" list for this project and hit send. Thanks for the help - again. I learned something new today that the old fiches don't necessarily have "all" parts listed and to go to other listings/bikes/models' fiches to find what I am looking for.

Thanks again!
