    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.

Okay total newbie question. When sitting on my 79 gs1000 which cylinder is number 1? Also the exhaust valve is are the one closest to the front of the motor?

Thanks Krank
 
Sitting on the bike, left to right 1-2-3-4. Also, exhaust valves are toward FRONT tire. Ray.
 
Yep, any reference to left/right, front/back, up/down is made as if you are sitting on the bike, ready to ride.

Think it out a bit for the valves: the exhaust valve will be close to the exhaust pipe, the intake valve will be close to the carburetor. :o

Thanks Steve and Ray that is what i figured it was but I just wanted to make sure.

STeve, I assumed that but I have seen wierder stuff so I thought I had better check with someone..

Thanks Again.

Far better to ask what might be thought of as a "silly" question than to make a mistake you will regret for a long time. :o

I dunno... might have ended up with a pretty cool backwards bike. Exhaust coming out from the center and carbs sticking out the front. That'd be unique, to be sure!

Hi,

I have a friend who, when he raced his RD400, had modified it. Her turned the cylinders around so that the carbs were on the front and the exhaust was coming out of the back. It was a ram-air flow-through setup. He broke a lot of bones on that bike. :rolleyes:

Of course, there were no valves to contend with. :p


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
