    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.

cam chain guide question GS1100Gk

I have a 1982 GS1100GK. I have pulled the head and had some broken bolts pulled and some nice helicoils put in. Now I am about the work of reassmebly and I have a part I know where it goes but not which side is up and I don't see it in my manuals.

This piece is a form of chain guide that attaches to the head in the chain channel above the cam chain tensioner. It is small and triangular and bolts with 2 bolts to the head. My question is. Does it go with small side down or small side up. I think it goes in with the small side down and the larger portion of the guide is up but I want to confirm before I torque it all down and go to the next steps.

Please bear with me on this one. I feel like I should know the answere but I don't.

Thanks

While you have the tensioner apart make sure you check part#7 in the diagram. Try to gently bend it. If you see any cracks in it replace it. You will see more cracking in higher mileage GK's. Make sure part #15 moves in and out freely (aka isn't stuck)
