    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Defeated By Broken Valve Cover Bolts

Anyone in the Baltimore area who works onsite or knows someone who works onsite? I've got 2 snapped off valve cover bolts in my GS650G head. I've tried everything that I can do, time for a professional.

Thank you,

Well, the bolts were about 3 or 4 threads above flush, so i was hopeful. Hit it with PB blaster for a few days, heated it with a heat gun, hit it with a nail (don't have a center punch). These were my preliminary steps prior to cutting a slot with a dremel and trying to turn them out. They aren't budging.

Thanks for listening.
 
You could try welding a nut on the end and turning it while it's still hot?
 
Yeah, I'll have to hire someone to do that, way out of my league.
