    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.

Damping Adjuster - GS1100EX Forks

So I've got the forks off my 1981 GS1100EX with plans of installing new seals and dust caps. Noticed in the manual it says to "pull off" the black plastic "damping adjuster" at the bottom of each fork.

Since mine are in great shape and still properly click into place, I don't want to mess this simple step up. Do I just grab the plastic knob and pull them straight off? twist and pull? .... or is there a trick to this first step?

Just couldn't find any post on this item, so advice would be appreciated.
 
With more searching, finally found the answer elsewhere on the site. The answer is ... give the black plastic damping adjuster knobs a "big yank" and they should pull right off.
