    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.

chain/tire alignment questions

Hi all,

just spooned a new shoe on the rear of the gs today, 1100 es running 1150 3.5" rear wheel. Working on wheel alignment, using the "string method", the chain adjustment marks end up off by a full mark. I know the marks are notoriously unreliable, BUT off by a whole mark seems like a lot? I honestly dont know where the marks were when i took it off.

I'm wondering if maybe there is a spacer issue with the 1150 wheel in there; i am referring here to the running controversy concerning this wheel swap.

another issue i have noticed is some runout in the rear sprocket, maybe about 2mm of runout? the wheel rim itself shows no significant runout. reasonably new sprocket with little wear, maybe 6000 miles on the chain and sprockets.

any input would be appreciated, thanks!
