    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.

Choke cable

When mucking around with my handlebars, I somehow jammed the choke cable on my '80 GS1100E. I ordered an OEM replacement and attempted to put it on yesterday.

Two issues:

(1) Instead of a little circular knob on the carb end, it has a little cylinder (about 1/4 the size of the original "knob"). I'm not talking about the handle that says "choke", I'm talking about the part that connects to the lever on the carb.
(2) When I do get it installed, the cable appears to be about 1" too long. The handle sits up about 1" when the choke is off and the lever practically comes out of the body when I put the choke full on (full up).

Am I doing something wrong?

I can post pics if it will help explain what I am talking about.

Thanks,
- Tony

Sounds like you got the wrong choke.

Now I feel like a schmuck. Why can't all my problems be this easy?

I ordered (according to my email invoice):

58400-45110

but received

58400-45100

I just sent a note off to JT Motorsports to see how to get this resolved.
